If you have been tracking East Bangalore for a while, you already know what happend to Budigere Cross. A few years back it was just a junction people crossed on their way to the airport. Today almost every big builder has a project here and land prices have gone up by more than 80% in about three years. Now Ruchira Projects has entered the area with The Rise, and honestly this one is quite different from the regular gated communities we see on this stretch. Its a 156 meter tall high-rise with only 342 homes on 4 acres, 11 feet floor height and a sky bridge connecting the two towers. In this article we’ll go through the brand, the pricing, floor plans, location and also the things we did not like, so you can decide if its worth a site visit.
Ruchira is not a very old name, but people who live around Whitefield and Varthur would have seen their projects. They started in 2013 and have kept their launches limited, which in our view is a good sign because the builder is not stretching itself too thin. The Rise is the biggest thing they have attempted till now and you can see that they have put a lot of effort in the design.

About Brand
Let’s talk about Ruchira Projects first. When someone says luxury high-rise in Bangalore, most of us think about Prestige, Sobha or Brigade. These are big names no doubt but you also pay big premium just for the logo. Ruchira is a mid-sized developer and it doesn’t have that kind of brand recall yet. What they do have is a clean record so far. All their delivered projects are around East Bangalore and buyers there have given them decent feedback on build quality and timely handover. The project is also RERA registered which gives you some protection as a buyer.
Ruchira Projects has been in residential development since 2013. They have delivered 3 projects and 3 more are under construction right now. Below are few of their projects.
- Ruchira Lilium
- Ruchira Aarna
- Ruchira Iris
- Park East by Ruchira
- Ruchira Villa Feliz
- Ruchira The Rise

Pros & Cons
Ruchira The Rise
Pros
- Very low density for a high-rise. Only 4 to 6 flats per floor and around 86 homes per acre, so lifts, lobbies and amenities won’t feel crowded.
- 11 feet floor height is rare in Bangalore. Most projects give you 9.5 to 10 feet, and you really feel the difference in a big living room.
- Approved by BDA and RERA registered, so the paperwork side is clean. Pre-launch booking of Rs 5 Lac is 100% refundable if you cancel before unit allotment.
- Budigere Cross still trades 25-28% cheaper than Whitefield. If that gap narrows the way it is expected to by 2029, early buyers stand to gain.
Cons
- Rs 11,000-12,000 per sqft is on the higher side for Budigere Cross. You are paying for the tower , the design and the sky bridge.
- Ruchira is a smaller brand compared to Prestige, Sobha or Brigade, and this is their first 40+ floor tower.
- Possession date is not announced yet. A 42 floor tower takes time, so be ready for a longer wait.
- No metro in walking distance as of now, You will depend on car or cab for daily office travel.
