Hallmark Skyrena (Narsingi) vs. My Home Akrida (Tellapur) – Same price, which one to pick?

Hey everyone,
I am stuck choosing between a 3BHK in Hallmark Skyrena and My Home Akrida. Interestingly, the price per sq. ft. for a ready unit at Skyrena is matching the current rate at Akrida (which is still under construction for next year).
I haven't decided yet. Here is my quick pros/cons list—would love your honest advice!

  1. Hallmark Skyrena (Narsingi)
    Status: Ready to Move In
    Pros:
    Ready now: No waiting time, no construction risks, zero pre-EMI stress.
    Location: Narsingi is much closer to Gachibowli/Financial District than deep Tellapur.
    Low Density: Bigger balconies and more spacious layouts.
    Cons:
    Privacy: Towers closely face each other; lower floors lack privacy and natural light.
    Brand: Hallmark is decent, but doesn't have the premium resale pull of My Home.
  2. My Home Akrida (Tellapur)
    Status: Under Construction (Possession next year)
    Pros:
    Brand Value: Top-tier My Home construction, flawless maintenance, and great long-term resale value.
    Mega Community: 24+ acres, 80% open space, massive premium clubhouses.
    Cons:
    The Wait: Paying the same price today for a property I can't live in for another year.
    High Density: 3,700+ flats. Huge oversupply in Tellapur means high competition for future rentals/resale.
    Tellapur Infrastructure: Local traffic bottlenecks and municipal water issues are still evolving.
    The Dilemma:
    Is it smarter to take Skyrena right now for the superior, ready-to-move location? Or is it a no-brainer to wait a year for the My Home brand equity?
