If you're buying a flat at Godrej MSR City in Shettigere, North Bangalore, you're not just buying the four walls of your home. You also get a small share of the land the building stands on. This is called your land share, or formally, the Undivided Share of Land (UDS).

This might seem like a technical term, but it's actually pretty straightforward — and important. Let's break it down.

What Does Land Share Mean?

When many people live in the same apartment building, they all share the land underneath it. You can't divide this land into pieces, but legally, every flat owner owns a portion of it. That's your land share.

So if you're buying an apartment at Godrej MSR City:

1. You own the flat.
2. You also own a small part of the land — along with everyone else in the building.

This land share is part of your sale deed and makes you a co-owner of the property.

Why Is Land Share So Important? 1. You're Not Just Buying a Flat — You're Buying Land Too

Land in Bangalore is becoming more expensive every year. While the flat might age, land usually grows in value. Your share in that land can become a big part of your long-term investment.

2. It Affects Your Resale Price

If two apartments look the same, the one with a higher land share often sells for more. Why? Because buyers know they're getting a bigger stake in the land.

3. It Matters if the Building Is Redeveloped Later

In the future, if the building is taken down and rebuilt, your land share decides how much you'll get in return — a bigger new flat, better features, or more money. A higher land share gives you better benefits.

4. It Gives You Legal Clarity

Your land share is mentioned in your legal documents. This protects your rights as an owner. If any issues come up, your share is proof of your stake in the project.

5. You Share in Common Areas Too

Your land share also connects to things like voting rights in the housing society and use of shared spaces — like walkways, gardens, and other common areas.

How Is Land Share Calculated at Godrej MSR City?

The land share is based on three things:

1. The size of your apartment,
2. The total built-up area of all apartments in your phase,
3. The land area for your building or phase.

Here's the formula:

(Your flat's size ÷ Total size of all flats in your phase) × Total land area of the phase

Let's make this clearer with a simple example:

1. Phase 1 (Barca) at Godrej MSR City covers 19 acres, which is about 827,640 square feet.
2. Suppose there are 1,961 units, and the average flat size is about 1,500 sq. ft.
3. So, the total built-up area = 1,961 × 1,500 = 2,941,500 sq. ft.
4. If your flat is 1,250 sq. ft., then your land share is:

(1,250 ÷ 2,941,500) × 827,640 = around 352 sq. ft.

This means you own about 350 square feet of land, even if you can't see it or touch it.

Some Key Points for Buyers at Godrej MSR City

Land Share Is Phase-Specific

Your land share is calculated based on the land for your building or phase, not the whole 62-acre township. For example, in Phase 1 (Barca), the UDS is based on 19 acres.

It's Legally Documented

Your sale deed and agreement for sale will clearly mention your land share. You can ask the sales team to show you this number before you buy.

RERA Protects Buyers

Godrej MSR City is a RERA-approved project (ID: PRM/KA/RERA/1250/303/PR/010425/007644). That means they must legally share the land ownership details with you — no hidden information.

Can You Sell Your Land Share Separately?

No. Your land share and your apartment are tied together. When you sell the flat, the land share goes with it. You can't sell one without the other.

1. The long-term value of your home

Final Thoughts

Buying a home isn't just about square footage inside. It's also about what lies under the building — the land. At Godrej MSR City in Shettigere, you're investing in more than just a roof over your head. You're owning a small, but important, part of prime land in North Bangalore.

Before you buy, ask for your UDS number, check your documents, and make sure you know what you're getting. Because in real estate, owning the land makes all the difference.
