Gurugram's premium real estate sector is booming, even as national housing sales decline. Driven by strong infrastructure, seamless connectivity, and growing buyer interest, luxury projects along Golf Course Extension and SPR are seeing record-breaking demand. Trump Residences sold out in hours, while DLF's Privana North was fully booked during its soft launch. Despite a nationwide sales dip, Delhi-NCR posted 16% growth, led by Gurugram's vibrant launch pipeline. With branded homes and gated communities becoming the norm, the SPR corridor is fast emerging as the city's most sought-after real estate zone. Gurugram is no longer a satellite city-it's setting new benchmarks.
Defying the broader national downturn in housing sales, Gurugram's luxury residential market has emerged as a standout performer in the Delhi-NCR region. No longer merely a satellite city to the capital, it has transformed into a leading residential and commercial hotspot, particularly in the premium and ultra-luxury segments. This transformation is backed by sustained infrastructure growth, robust buyer sentiment, and an aggressive launch pipeline.
A telling example is Trump Tower Gurugram, originally launched at INR 13,500 per sq. ft., which has since soared to INR 40,000 per sq. ft.-a near threefold rise that highlights both the demand for branded residences and the city's stature in luxury housing.
According to PropEquity's Q2 2025 report, overall sales in India's top nine cities fell below one lakh units-a first in 14 quarters. While cities such as Mumbai and Thane saw steep declines in supply and demand, Delhi-NCR bucked the trend, recording a 16% year-on-year sales growth and a 37% increase in new launches. Gurugram, in particular, led to this divergence.
In contrast to shrinking supply across six of the top nine cities, NCR developers continued to launch high-end projects, especially along Gurugram's growth corridors such as Golf Course Road, Golf Course Extension, and Southern Peripheral Road (SPR). These areas witnessed multiple high-value launches that sold out in record time.
Among the standout projects were DLF's Privana North, Tribeca's Trump Residences, Whiteland's The Aspen, and Smartworld One DXP. Privana North sold out within days of a soft launch, while Trump Residences was fully booked in under five hours-signalling extraordinary buyer conviction for luxury offerings on SPR.
Rajat Khandelwal, Group CEO of Tribeca Developers, pointed out that homebuyers are increasingly favouring newly launched projects. He noted that in a market previously dominated by ready-to-move-in inventory, 44% of sales in NCR were now from new stock-reflecting a shift in preferences towards thoughtful design and trustworthy delivery.
He also shared that Tribeca's recent launches across Mumbai and Gurgaon received overwhelming interest, with Trump Residences Gurgaon achieving full absorption in just a few hours. This, he stated, demonstrated the continued strength of demand for well-located, high-quality developments.
This sustained demand is underpinned by Gurugram's strategic infrastructure, including NH-48, the Dwarka Expressway, and multiple cloverleaf interchanges, which offer seamless access to Delhi and IGI Airport. In addition, proximity to corporate hubs, international schools, shopping malls, and the anticipated Global City project has enhanced Gurugram's liveability and investor appeal.
Even as PropEquity reported a 19% year-on-year dip in national housing sales and a 30% reduction in new launches, Gurugram remained buoyant-particularly in the INR 3-10 crore segment. Developers are now planning the next round of high-end launches, confident that premium housing has become mainstream in this market.
The growing popularity of branded residences, integrated lifestyle townships, and gated communities is attracting repeat buyers, HNIs, and upwardly mobile professionals. Industry experts also predict that SPR, currently witnessing the most momentum, is poised for further appreciation. With the nearing completion of the Dwarka Expressway and development of the Global City, the SPR corridor is set to become Gurugram's most prized stretch in the coming years.
As the Southern Peripheral Road emerges as the epicentre of this boom, the region's trajectory suggests long-term promise. Rather than peaking, Gurugram's high-end real estate seems to be entering a new growth cycle-where branded homes, lifestyle-driven communities, and strong connectivity are setting new benchmarks for residential excellence across the NCR.
