The pricing works out to around Rs 43,123 per sft on the super built-up area, the documents show.The project received its occupancy certificate in April 2025.“The purchase of a penthouse at 27 Summit for over Rs 45.7 crore stands out as one of the largest residential deals in Bengaluru this year,” said Sandeep Reddy, cofounder of property data analytics platform Zapkey.“We have seen a steady trickle of high-value transactions registered at 27 Summit in the past. But a ticket size of this magnitude underscores the building’s position as a landmark ultra-luxury destination in Bengaluru’s CBD,” he added.The deal comes amid a sharp rise in high-value residential transactions in Bengaluru.
