Assetz Codename Sublime Master Plan

Site Planning Philosophy: Open Space as the Foundation

The master plan of Assetz Codename Sublime is built around a single, powerful organising principle: the 81% open space ratio. On approximately 11 acres of land off Old Madras Road (NH-75) in Hoskote, East Bangalore, this ratio translates into a development where the built footprint of the three towers and the clubhouse occupies less than one-fifth of the total site area. Everything else — gardens, walking paths, sports courts, play areas, seating alcoves, the landscaped spine, and buffer zones — is dedicated to the outdoor environment that residents experience daily.

This is not a trivial design decision. In land-constrained markets like Bangalore, many developers maximise saleable area by pushing the open space ratio toward the regulatory minimum. Assetz Property Group has taken the opposite approach, using the generous land parcel to create a living environment that feels closer to a landscaped estate than a conventional apartment complex. The result is wider inter-tower distances, more mature tree planting, greater separation between active amenity zones and residential quiet zones, and a general sense of spatial luxury that drawings cannot fully convey.

Tower Placement and Orientation

The three towers are positioned along the periphery of the site, a planning strategy that pushes built structures to the edges and liberates the central zone for landscaping and amenities. This peripheral tower placement achieves several important objectives.

First, it maximises the contiguous open area at the heart of the development, allowing the landscaped spine and central amenity cluster to function as a unified green campus rather than a collection of disconnected pockets. Second, it ensures that every tower has outward-facing units with views beyond the site boundary, reducing the feeling of enclosure that can occur when towers are positioned inward. Third, it provides clear sightlines from the towers toward the central gardens and amenity areas, connecting residents visually with the green campus even from upper floors.

Tower A, the tallest structure at 2B+G+36 floors, anchors the development and provides the most elevated vantage points. Towers B and C, both at 2B+G+32 floors, complement the overall skyline while maintaining the same structural standards, lift provision (5 per core), and double-height entrance lobby design. The staggered heights create architectural variety and prevent the monotony of identical tower profiles.

The Landscaped Spine

Running through the development like a green boulevard, the landscaped spine is the primary organising element of the outdoor environment. It connects the main entry, the clubhouse zone, the sports courts, and the garden areas in a continuous pedestrian-friendly corridor that encourages walking, cycling, and outdoor socialising.

The spine is designed with varied landscape treatments — tree-lined sections, open lawn areas, paved gathering nodes, and seating alcoves — that create distinct character zones as you move through it. This variety prevents the monotony of a single landscape type and ensures that different parts of the spine serve different social and recreational functions. A section near the clubhouse might be more active and social, while a section at the far end of the campus might be quieter and more contemplative.

Seating alcoves along the spine provide informal gathering spots that encourage spontaneous interaction between residents. These are not afterthought benches placed on leftover land. They are purpose-designed landscape elements that contribute to the social fabric of the community.

The Clubhouse and Central Amenity Zone

The 32,071 sq ft corten steel clubhouse sits at the social and recreational heart of the master plan. Its central position ensures equitable access from all three towers, while its architectural expression — the distinctive corten steel cladding that weathers to a rich patina over time — establishes it as a visual landmark within the development.

The clubhouse zone extends beyond the building itself to include the temperature-controlled swimming pool, surrounding pool deck areas, and a cluster of outdoor sports courts. The spatial relationship between the clubhouse interior and the pool and court areas is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor flow, allowing residents to move between gym sessions, pool time, and court games without crossing vehicular roads or navigating disconnected pathways.

Adjacent to the clubhouse, co-working spaces provide a professional work environment for residents who work from home or need a quiet, well-equipped space outside their apartment. This amenity is increasingly relevant as remote and hybrid work patterns become permanent features of professional life. See the amenities page for the full facility breakdown.

Sports and Recreation Zone

The master plan allocates dedicated areas for sports facilities, positioned to balance accessibility with noise management. Active sports courts — including padel tennis, pickleball, tennis, badminton, squash, box cricket, and a multipurpose court — are clustered in a zone that is accessible from all towers but buffered from the quieter residential areas by landscaping and distance.

This zoning approach ensures that the energy and noise of active sports do not intrude on the tranquillity of the garden areas and seating alcoves. It also creates a sense of destination: heading to the sports zone is a deliberate activity rather than something that happens by default because the courts are squeezed between buildings.

The outdoor gym is positioned to take advantage of the garden setting, offering an open-air workout environment surrounded by greenery. Age-designated play areas are distributed across the campus to ensure that children of different age groups have appropriate and safe play environments within easy reach of their tower.

Retail Convenience Zone

The 22,513 sq ft integrated retail convenience zone is a practical addition to the master plan that acknowledges the reality of daily life in a large residential community. Positioned for easy access from all three towers, this zone is designed to accommodate essential retail services — groceries, pharmacy, laundry, food and beverage outlets — without requiring residents to leave the campus for routine errands.

The retail zone's placement within the master plan is carefully managed to ensure that it serves the community without generating traffic, noise, or visual clutter that would compromise the residential character of the development. Deliveries and servicing are routed through dedicated pathways that are separated from the primary pedestrian circulation.

Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation

The master plan separates vehicular and pedestrian circulation at the site planning level. Vehicles enter the campus through a controlled access point and are directed to basement parking levels beneath the towers. Once a vehicle is parked, the resident's journey continues on foot through the pedestrian-only campus, which is entirely free of vehicular traffic apart from emergency and service access routes.

This separation is essential for safety, particularly for families with children, and for maintaining the environmental quality of the central gardens and amenity areas. It also means that the landscaped spine, seating alcoves, and garden pathways can be designed without vehicle-width constraints, allowing for narrower, more intimate pedestrian routes and more generous landscape treatment.

The basement parking provision across the three towers accommodates the development's 800 units while keeping the surface-level environment entirely pedestrian-oriented. The 30 double-height grand entrance lobbies serve as transition points between the parking infrastructure below and the landscaped campus at grade level.
