Luxury Housing Booms Along Dwarka Expressway
The real estate sector in Gurugram has been significantly propelled, with key infrastructure projects catalyzing this growth. With the growing infrastructure development, property prices are increasing significantly every quarter. Infrastructure upgrades like the Dwarka Expressway have sparked a wave of real estate development, attracting both end-users looking for modern housing options and investors seeking long-term gains. With the expressway near its completion and the tunnel and Manesar flyover on the way, the region is experiencing a dramatic shift in buyer interest, especially from those seeking premium homes that combine accessibility with elevated lifestyle standards.
According to a joint research by CREDAI- Colliers-Liases-Foras, the corridor witnessed a 58% Y-o-Y surge in prices of properties during the October-December 2024 quarter, which is the highest price growth in the country during Q4CY2024. This record growth outpaced all other major cities and micro-markets, making Dwarka Expressway the hottest investment destination in Delhi-NCR and across India. Real estate experts said that this growth along the expressway is an indicator of the rising demand for well-planned, infrastructure-led development. It reflects high investor confidence and robust sales momentum.
Saurab Saharan, Group Managing Director of HCBS Developments, says, “With the advent of Dwarka Expressway, Gurugram is quickly becoming a magnet for buyers and investors seeking a blend of accessibility and modern infrastructure. The region is witnessing a surge in modern residential projects designed to cater to the aspirations of urban homebuyers. Recognizing the area’s potential, we contribute to this transformation by developing luxury homes that ensure a high standard of living for our residents while aligning with future urban development needs.”
The surge in luxury housing demand along the Dwarka Expressway is largely driven by the shifting preferences of high-income buyers who are seeking alternatives to the saturated and congested neighborhoods of Gurugram and Delhi. With its strategic proximity to IGI Airport and thriving commercial hubs like Cyber City and Golf Course Road Extension, Dwarka Expressway offers a perfect blend of access and exclusivity.
Moreover, the sectors along the expressway are well-known for various reasons, but sector 102 connects to the NH8, Hero Honda Chowk, and Pataudi Road. Increased connectivity makes it very popular, and is also close to a Special Economic Zone, which offers several job opportunities. As per 99 acres, in terms of price appreciation/depreciation, property rates in Sector 102, Gurgaon changed by 13.3 % in the last 1 year, 117.9 % in the last 3 years, 129.7 % in the last 5 years and 138.3 % in the last 10 years.
Surender Kaushik, Founder & Director of Aryan Realty Infratech Pvt. Ltd says, “Dwarka Expressway has captured the attention of homebuyers across NCR, with Sector 102, in particular, quickly becoming synonymous with upscale living. Its strategic location, just minutes from IGI Airport and the Delhi border, combined with planned infrastructure and an evolving social ecosystem, makes it a magnet for luxury seekers. At ARIPL, our projects in Sector 102 reflect this aspiration, and leading the narrative of luxury housing in the region.”
Besides, the corridor is witnessing a transformation as reputed developers roll out a new generation of luxury residential projects tailored for discerning buyers. From expansive 3 BHK and 4 BHK residences to ultra-premium penthouses and smart homes, the focus is clearly on offering spacious, future-ready living spaces. What was once considered aspirational—clubhouses, wellness zones, concierge services, EV charging points, and AI-enabled security systems—has now become standard. Developers are competing not just on location, but on lifestyle, raising the bar for luxury living in NCR.
Rajjath Goel, Managing Director, MRG Group, says, “Luxury housing along Dwarka Expressway is no longer a niche trend, instead, it’s a clear reflection of evolving buyer aspirations. HNIs and NRIs are increasingly seeking prime, well-connected locations that offer both lifestyle and long-term value, and this corridor ticks all the checkboxes. The demand isn’t just for square footage, it’s for curated experiences, green living, and integrated wellness. At MRG, we’re responding to this shift with thoughtfully designed luxury residences that prioritize sustainability, serenity, and sophistication.”
Dr Vishesh Rawat, VP & Head of Sales, Marketing, and CRM, M2K Group, says, “Luxury housing on Dwarka Expressway is emerging as one of the most compelling real estate investments in NCR today. With soaring property prices, strong sales momentum, and non-stop infrastructure development, this corridor is anticipated to deliver impressive ROI in the coming years. Hence, we believe the corridor will continue delivering premium options in real estate, and those entering now stand to gain significantly in both value and experience.”
Therefore, as the expressway continues seeing developments, the region’s real estate is set for substantial appreciation, making it a hotspot for investors eyeing strong returns. With rental yields improving and capital values expected to rise significantly over the next 3–5 years, luxury properties here are increasingly being seen not just as homes, but as high-performing investment assets with long-term potential.
New Model Transforms Design Learning: From Training Halls to Sample Library
Delhi NCR, Apr 21, 2025: A sprawling new center in Gurugram is offering architecture and design students something their classrooms often can’t—a chance to see, touch, and understand how buildings come together, not in theory, but in practice. The Knowledge Center, or KC as it’s called, spans over 100,000 square feet across two floors in Sector 71, Gurugram. At first glance, it could be mistaken for a showroom or a co-working hub. But KC is, in fact, a hands-on learning space—one that brings students, professionals, vendors, and materials under the same roof.
“Students walk in and learn not just how a product works—but how it feels, how it fails, and how it’s used on site,” says architect Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Knowledge Center. Jain, who has worked in architecture and construction for nearly two decades, says the idea for KC came from the gaps he saw in how new professionals were trained. “We don’t aim to replace colleges,” he says, “but we want to give learners what they often miss—real exposure.”
At the heart of the space is KC’s Sample and Catalogue Library and Resource Hub—a zone filled with live product samples, technical catalogues, design books (on design, literature, CPWD, by-laws and other related books & stationery zone) and physical materials that students and professionals can examine up close. The aim is to help students and young professionals get a real feel of the materials they’ll work with — something that’s often hard to do through textbooks or lectures. KC has meeting rooms, shared workspaces, a rendering zone, and a café for networking. It also hosts regular events, vendor visits, and informal sessions, making it a place where people can learn and connect with the industry and get hands-on exposure.
Membership is kept easy and affordable. Students can use the center for a nominal daily fee, while firms and independent practitioners can sign up with their teams. There are also special plans for women-led studios and working parents, with on-site childcare support and dedicated co-working zones. Jain says the model is designed to be inclusive, especially for students and young professionals who often don’t have access to vendor networks or project experience. “We’re creating a place where you don’t have to wait five years into your career to understand how this industry functions,” he says.
KC also considers how the industry is changing and how sustainability is a top priority for everyone. And thus, it cuts down on waste by reducing the need for printed catalogues. Instead, it offers everything in one place that multiple members can use and reuse. The space is also built to be accessible for everyone, with features like assistive signs and transport help for visitors who need support.
Importantly, KC doesn’t replace existing vendors or systems. It works alongside them—giving suppliers more visibility while making it easier for students and studios to find what they need.
Looking ahead, Jain says the plan is to scale. “We want to replicate this model across India,” he says. The rollout is phased — with one new center expected in the first year, followed by three more in year two, and steady growth from there.
With its official launch just around the corner, KC is already drawing attention from architecture institutions, universities, design firms, and material brands. For students finishing their degrees and looking to enter a fast-changing industry, it may offer a head start — not only through lectures, but also through lived, practical understanding.
