What is UDS in Godrej MSR City? A Simple Guide for Homebuyers

If you're planning to buy an apartment in Godrej MSR City, you might have come across the term UDS, or Undivided Share of Land. But what exactly does it mean—and why should it matter to you?

This guide will help you understand UDS in simple terms and why it plays a big role in your apartment purchase at Shettigere, North Bangalore.

What Does UDS Mean?

When you buy a flat in a big housing project like Godrej MSR City, you're not just buying a home—you're also buying a share in the land the building stands on. This portion of the land that legally belongs to you is called the Undivided Share of Land (UDS).

Why is it called "Undivided"?

Because you don't get a fixed piece of land that you can mark as your own. Instead, all apartment owners own the total land together, and each gets a share based on the size of their apartment.

Even though it's not a physical piece of land you can stand on, it's a legal asset and will be clearly written in your sale deed when you buy the property.

Why UDS Matters at Godrej MSR City

For buyers at Godrej MSR City, the UDS is more than just a technical term. It plays an important role in many ways:

1. You Own Part of the Land

The land is what holds long-term value. Buildings get older, but land gets more expensive. Your UDS means you legally own a part of this land, and that ownership grows in value over time.

Godrej MSR City is being built on 62 acres of land in Shettigere, a fast-growing part of North Bangalore. This location makes the land especially valuable in the long run.

2. Better Resale Value

Apartments with higher UDS usually sell at better prices. That's because buyers know they're not just buying walls and floors—they're buying part of the land too.

In a city like Bangalore where land is limited, this matters a lot. More UDS means a stronger asset behind your flat.

3. Future Redevelopment Benefits

Years from now, if the building is redeveloped—maybe due to age or new construction laws—your UDS will decide what you're entitled to.

A higher UDS can mean:

A bigger new apartment
Better compensation
A larger share in new common areas
Legal Safety

Your UDS shows that you legally own part of the project's land. It protects your rights if there's ever a legal issue with the property.

5. Use of Common Areas

Things like gardens, walkways, and clubhouses are for everyone in the community. Your UDS helps show your share in these shared spaces.

How is UDS Calculated at Godrej MSR City?

Let's look at how UDS is worked out for a typical apartment in Godrej MSR City.

The formula is:

UDS = (Your apartment size ÷ Total apartment area in the phase) × Total land area of that phase

Here's a simple example based on estimated numbers for Phase 1 (Barca) at Godrej MSR City:

Land in Phase 1: 19 acres = 827,640 sq. ft.
Total flats: 1961
Estimated average flat size: 1500 sq. ft.
Total area: 1961 × 1500 = 2,941,500 sq. ft.
Your flat size: 1250 sq. ft.

Using the formula:

(1250 ÷ 2,941,500) × 827,640 = approx. 352 sq. ft.

So, your UDS in this example would be around 352 sq. ft.

A Few Key Points:

Godrej MSR City is being built in phases. Each phase has its own land parcel. Your UDS will be based on the phase your flat belongs to.
The exact UDS for your unit will be written in your Sale Agreement and Sale Deed.
The project is RERA registered (Phase 1: PRM/KA/RERA/1250/303/PR/010425/007644), which means UDS details must be clearly shared with buyers by law.

What Happens to UDS When You Sell Your Flat?

Your UDS stays with the apartment. When you sell your flat, the new buyer automatically becomes the new owner of that land share. You cannot sell your UDS separately.

This makes sure that the flat and the land are always sold together, keeping ownership simple and secure.
