Integrated Condominiums with High-Street Retail Redefining Urban Living
New Delhi: The Indian real estate landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as leading developers increasingly adopt integrated condominiums that combine residential spaces with curated high-street retail and leisure amenities. This emerging format, rapidly gaining traction among prominent players like DLF, Hero Realty, M3M, and Tribeca, is fueling a new wave of luxury developments across major cities, offering residents a more convenient and elevated lifestyle.
Integrated living coupled with retail and experiential leisure is now a critical differentiator for new-age residential projects. According to JLL’s “Rise of Mixed-Use Developments in India 2025” report, mixed-use townships are driving 35 per cent of residential absorption in major cities by seamlessly blending living, retail, office, and entertainment spaces to create seamless live-work-play environments.
Walkable, high-street retail has defined modern living in Gurgaon. Aakash Ohri, JMD & Chief Business Officer, DLF Homes, said, “Walkable, high-street retail has defined modern living in Gurgaon, yet such integrated, urban lifestyle experiences have been limited in New Delhi.”
Rohit Kishore, CEO, Hero Realty, added, “Integrated condominiums with high-street retail are a natural progression in India's evolving urban landscape. This shift reflects the increasing demand for a lifestyle that homebuyers desire, valuing more than just a well-designed residence. There is a strong need for convenience, community, and connectivity all within one address. This approach reduces the need for long commutes and enhances lifestyle value.”
Girish Kamble, CEO – West, Tribeca Developers, echoed these sentiments, stating, “Integrated residential communities supported by walkable, high-street retail are redefining modern urban living. Today’s homebuyers seek more than premium homes; they aspire to live in vibrant, self-sufficient neighbourhoods where daily conveniences, leisure, social interaction, and retail experiences come together seamlessly.”
From an urban planning perspective, these integrated condominiums align with contemporary shifts toward transit-oriented, sustainable development. Cushman & Wakefield’s 2025 Indian retail report notes that integrated retail leasing has jumped 25 per cent in Delhi NCR alone, driven by developments that prioritize walkability and lifestyle-enhancing amenities.
Integrated condominiums with high-street retail are rapidly becoming a defining feature of India’s urban real estate. As homebuyers increasingly prioritize convenience, walkability, and experiential living, such mixed-use developments are set to reshape urban design, enhance property values, and redefine the future of Indian real estate.
