Gurgaon Sees Massive Real Estate Transactions: Four Apartments Worth Rs 270 Crore Registered at The Camellias
Gurgaon, a bustling suburb of the National Capital Region (NCR), has recently seen a series of high-value real estate transactions that underscore its growing appeal in the luxury market. According to documents shared by data analytics firm CRE Matrix, four separate apartments and penthouses at DLF's The Camellias in Gurgaon were sold for approximately Rs 270 crore. These transactions, which took place in September this year, have caught the attention of the real estate community and highlight the city's rising status as a hub for luxury living.
The properties, which collectively span over 35,000 square feet, were purchased by a diverse group of buyers, including a Gurgaon-based developer, the founder of a fashion accessories manufacturing firm, a member of the DLF family, and a businessman. Each of these transactions has its own unique story, reflecting the varying timelines and market conditions that influenced the deals.
One of the most notable purchases was a 14,000 square foot penthouse bought by a member of the DLF family in August 2015 for Rs 59 crore. Despite the initial purchase price, the current market value of this property is estimated to be over Rs 200 crore, reflecting the significant appreciation in property values in Gurgaon over the past few years. Similarly, the founder of a fashion accessories manufacturing firm acquired a 13,000 square foot penthouse for Rs 51 crore in August 2021. The current market value of this penthouse is believed to be in the range of Rs 180 to 200 crore, further highlighting the rapid growth in property values.
The other two properties include a 9,400 square foot apartment purchased by a developer for Rs 95 crore and a 7,300 square foot apartment bought by a businessman for Rs 65 crore. These transactions, while significant in their own right, also contribute to the overall narrative of Gurgaon's rising real estate market.
Gurgaon has long been a preferred destination for luxury real estate, and these recent transactions further cement its position as a key player in the NCR. In fact, Gurgaon has now surpassed Lutyens Delhi in terms of property values, with per square foot prices in the city now on par with global hotspots like London and Dubai. This shift is a testament to the city's infrastructure improvements, economic growth, and the increasing demand for high-end living spaces.
Earlier this year, British businessman Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia bought a 11,416 square foot apartment at The Camellias for Rs 100 crore, while Info-x Software Technology Pvt Ltd, through its director Rishi Parti, purchased a 16,000 square foot penthouse for Rs 190 crore. These transactions, along with the recent deals, have solidified The Camellias as one of the most sought-after luxury residential complexes in Gurgaon.
About 15% of property owners at The Camellias have upgraded from DLF's other projects, 'The Magnolias' and 'The Aralias,' located in the same area. This trend highlights the strong brand loyalty and trust that DLF has built among high-net-worth individuals in the region. Prominent homeowners in The Camellias include Aman Gupta, founder of BoAt; JC Chaudhry, founder of Aakash Educational Services; and the Elan Group, a real estate firm.
These transactions not only reflect the robust real estate market in Gurgaon but also indicate a growing trend of luxury living in the city. As more high-net-worth individuals and businesses continue to invest in Gurgaon, the city is poised to become a major player in the global luxury real estate market.
