British Businessman Snags 11,000 Sq Ft Luxury Apartment in DLF’s Camellias for ₹100 Crore

British businessman Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia has made headlines with his purchase of an 11,416 sq ft apartment in DLF’s ultra-luxury project, The Camellias, located in Gurugram. The deal, valued at ₹100 crore, underscores the growing trend among global Indians and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to invest in luxury condominiums over standalone homes.

The apartment, a bare-shell, first-floor corner simplex, is a significant acquisition. Despite being on a lower floor, it has fetched a price typically reserved for higher-floor units, according to sources. This highlights the premium value and appeal of The Camellias, which is often compared to living in a 7-star hotel year-round.

Spread across 17.5 acres of land, The Camellias is a confluence of wealth, attracting the country’s most successful individuals, including industrialists, CXOs, start-up founders, and the elite of Delhi. The project has become synonymous with high-value transactions and upscale urban living, offering spacious apartments that rival the luxury of independent kothis.

Ahluwalia confirmed the deal, stating that he had initially considered buying a farmhouse but chose a gated condominium instead, given his frequent visits to India. While he owns a property on Kautilya Marg, he prefers the convenience and amenities of Gurugram. Ahluwalia, who founded Euro Car Parts and later sold the business, currently helms Dominvs Group, a London-based enterprise with interests in real estate, hospitality, and asset management.

With this latest purchase, Ahluwalia joins an elite group of homeowners at The Camellias, further cementing the project’s status as a coveted address in Gurugram. The Camellias, located on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road, is one of the most sought-after residential addresses in the country, currently trading at ₹87,800 per sq ft and leasing at a rate of ₹12 lakh to ₹16 lakh per month, as of April 2025.

The Camellias has seen several high-value deals in recent years. Documents accessed by Zapkey showed that Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal registered an ultra-luxury apartment in The Camellias in March 2025, which he had purchased three years ago for ₹52.3 crore. In December 2024, Rishi Parti, CEO and founder of Gurugram-based Info-X Software Technology, bought a penthouse in The Camellias for ₹190 crore. In February 2024, a Singapore-based NRI sold a 10,000 sq ft apartment at The Camellias to Smiti Agarwal, wife of Hemant Agarwal, CMD at V Bazaar Retail Pvt Ltd, for ₹95 crore. In October 2023, an 11,000 sq ft apartment was sold for about ₹114 crore in a resale, comparable to deals in New Delhi’s posh localities.

These transactions highlight the enduring appeal and value of The Camellias, which continues to attract high-profile buyers seeking the ultimate in luxury living. DLF had initially sold the Camellias as bare-shell units in 2014 at ₹22,500 per sq ft, a far cry from the current market rates, reflecting the rapid appreciation in value and demand for such premium properties.

The Camellias has become a symbol of luxury and success in Gurugram, offering residents a lifestyle that combines the best of modern amenities, security, and exclusivity. For Ahluwalia and other high-net-worth individuals, the project represents a smart investment in a market that continues to grow and evolve.
