42 Estates Codename Light of South is a proposed two-tower project adding new apartments in JP Nagar 9th Phase, South Bengaluru, and 42 Estates lists it as upcoming and "Launching Soon". We did not verify an exact registration for this project in the cited official search as of 22 October 2026, so every scale, size and date below is developer-stated and unconfirmed.

What 42 Estates Codename Light of South has announced
The developer's project page for Codename Light of South, retrieved on 22 October 2026, describes two parallel towers set around an elevated, vehicle-free central podium that it calls a suspended park. It lists the structure as one basement, two stilt levels and 14 floors, and caps the project at 112 apartments with four homes per floor.
The same page lists its design commitments: every home a corner unit, two balconies per home, no common walls, two covered car parks per residence, Vaastu-compliant layouts, pool-facing residences, and 70% open space in a low-density community. The page does not explain how the open-space percentage is calculated. It names 3 BHK homes and exclusive 4 BHK penthouses, and gives possession as March 2029.
On its projects index, 42 Estates lists this project among its upcoming work alongside completed Bengaluru projects such as 42 Mark One Villa off Sarjapura Main Road, 42 Mark Three off Sarjapur Road and 42 High Street in Indiranagar. Its about page describes a developer active for more than a decade across residential, hospitality and commercial sectors. Those descriptions are the developer's own; we did not independently audit its delivery record for this review.
What we could verify
We checked the Karnataka RERA public project list on 22 October 2026. The list's newest registration was dated 19 October 2026, and it contained no record under the names Codename Light of South or In the Wake of Light, the title used on the supplied project brochure.
Two other items in circulation could be mistaken for a registration. The number shown in the footer of the developer's project page belongs to K-RERA's agent series, not to a project registration, so it is not this project's RERA number. Separately, a K-RERA acknowledgement printout in the supplied project material states that the project "is not yet approved by the authority". That printout does not name the project, and we could not match its acknowledgement number in the public list, so we treat it as unresolved rather than as an official application status for this project.
Expected project details
| Detail | Reported | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Towers | Two parallel towers around a central podium | Proposed |
| Structure | 1 basement + 2 stilts + 14 floors | Proposed |
| Total homes | 112 apartments, four per floor | Proposed |
| 3 BHK configuration | 1,778–1,915 sq ft super built-up (carpet 1,165–1,260 sq ft); developer-supplied project material | Subject to change |
| 4 BHK penthouse configuration | 2,906–3,200 sq ft; developer-supplied project material; area basis not stated | Subject to change |
| Podium amenities | Swimming pool and deck, clubhouse, social terrace, gazebo seating, play and wellness zones, quiet courts and gathering zones | Proposed |
| Home features | Corner units, two balconies, no common walls, two covered car parks per home, Vaastu-compliant layouts | Proposed |
| Open space | 70%, basis not stated | Reported |
| Possession | March 2029 on the developer's web page; December 2029 in the supplied brochure | Subject to change |
The amenity list comes from the supplied brochure and podium plan, and the configuration areas come from the supplied brochure. Neither is an approved plan or an inventory schedule. Two towers of 14 floors with four homes per floor gives 112, which suggests the four-per-floor figure applies to each tower; the developer does not say so explicitly.
Configurations and indicative sizes
The configurations below are proposed details from supplied project material for this upcoming project; final layouts, areas, and availability remain subject to change.
| Configuration | Indicative area | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 3 BHK (three bathrooms, east- and west-facing layouts) | 1,778–1,915 sq ft super built-up; carpet 1,165–1,260 sq ft | Proposed |
| 4 BHK penthouse | 2,906–3,200 sq ft; area basis not stated | Proposed |
The brochure shows four distinct 42 Estates Codename Light of South 3 BHK layouts, two facing east and two facing west, each listed as a typical unit repeated up the tower. The developer's web page prints a single combined range of 1,778–3,200 sq ft under its 3 BHK heading, which appears to merge the 3 BHK and penthouse figures; we used the brochure's split. No penthouse floor plan has been published, and the final 3 BHK plans are not yet available in a form we can show.

Our editorial view
Based on the currently available sources, Codename Light of South is defined more by design promises than by verifiable scope. Four corner homes per floor, no shared walls and a car-free podium are specific commitments that can be tested, and in a dense part of South Bengaluru they would set this proposal apart from a conventional tower block. None of them can be checked yet, because the documents that would fix them (approved plans, a declared land area and a registered completion date) are not public.
The developer's own material already disagrees on possession, by nine months. A gap of that size does not by itself point to a problem, though it is a reminder that a date quoted before registration is a target. The registration filing is the next document to read: check whether it keeps 112 homes, four per floor, the stated carpet areas, and a completion date close to either figure now in circulation.
What remains unknown
- Registration: no exact registration found in the cited official search as of 22 October 2026, and no verified application status.
- Site and land area: the exact address, survey details and land area are not published. The developer's site also lists a separate "Upcoming Luxury Apartment in JP Nagar" card without saying whether it is the same project, so we have not borrowed its details.
- Approvals: no building plan, environmental or other approval was found in public sources.
- Possession: March 2029 and December 2029 both appear in developer material; neither is confirmed.
- Price: no official price has been published.
- Connectivity: without a published site location, we have not measured road distances or drive times.
- Promoter entity: the legal entity that will register the project is not stated.
Common questions
Is 42 Estates Codename Light of South RERA registered?
Our 22 October 2026 check of the Karnataka RERA public list found no exact registration under either project name. The number in the developer's website footer is an agent-series registration, not a project registration.
What is the 42 Estates Codename Light of South possession date?
It is not confirmed. The developer's web page states March 2029, while the supplied brochure states December 2029. A registered completion date would settle the question once a RERA record exists.
What is the 42 Estates Codename Light of South price?
No official price has been published as of 22 October 2026. This review does not reproduce figures circulating in sales material.
Is a 42 Estates Codename Light of South floor plan published?
The developer has not published a final floor plan. Supplied material shows four proposed 3 BHK layouts; no penthouse plan has been shown anywhere we checked.
Where is 42 Estates Codename Light of South?
The developer places the project in JP Nagar 9th Phase, South Bengaluru. It has not published a street address or map location, so distances to metro stations, roads or schools cannot yet be measured reliably. That also rules out a like-for-like location comparison with other JP Nagar 9th Phase apartments for now.
What amenities are planned?
The supplied material proposes a podium with a swimming pool and deck, a clubhouse, a social terrace, gazebo seating, play and wellness zones, and quiet courts. These are design proposals and may change before approval.
