British Entrepreneur Buys 11,000 Sq Ft Apartment in DLF’s Camellias for ₹100 Crore

British businessman Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia has acquired an 11,416 sq ft apartment in DLF’s ultra-luxury project, The Camellias, in Gurugram, for ₹100 crore, according to sources. This significant deal underscores the growing trend among global Indians and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to opt for luxury condominiums over standalone homes.

The unit is a bare-shell, first-floor corner simplex apartment. This is noteworthy because, despite being on a lower floor, it has fetched a price typically reserved for higher-floor units, according to sources.

Spread across 17.5 acres of land, The Camellias is a confluence of wealth, offering a lifestyle akin to living in a 7-star hotel year-round. This project is home to the country’s most successful individuals, including industrialists, CXOs, start-up founders, and the elite of Delhi’s social circles, many of whom have moved from independent kothis to these spacious apartments in the suburbs.

Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia confirmed the deal, stating that he initially considered buying a farmhouse but chose a gated condominium instead, as he frequently visits India. While he owns a property on Kautilya Marg, he prefers staying in 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, a development that has become synonymous with high-value transactions and upscale urban living.

The Camellias, located on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road, has emerged as one of the most sought-after residential addresses in the country. As of April 2025, the project is trading at ₹87,800 per sq ft and leasing at a rate of ₹12 lakh to ₹16 lakh per month, according to brokers.

Other high-value deals at The Camellias include the registration of an ultra-luxury apartment by Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal in March 2025. He purchased the apartment 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 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 purchased for about ₹114 crore in a resale, a transaction that was compared with deals in New Delhi’s posh localities, among the country's most expensive properties.

DLF had sold the Camellias in Gurugram as bare-shell units in 2014 at ₹22,500 per sq. ft. The project has since become a symbol of luxury and exclusivity in the real estate market.
