Gurgaon has firmly established itself as the top luxury real estate market in the National Capital Region (NCR), driven by an influx of high-end residential projects and robust demand from affluent buyers. According to a recent CBRE report, sales of properties priced over Rs 4 crore surged by 38% from January to September 2024 across major Indian cities, with Delhi-NCR taking the lead. Gurgaon’s growing appeal is supported by extensive infrastructure upgrades and a rising interest in premium housing.

Top developers like DLF, TARC, and Max Estates have rolled out significant projects in Gurgaon, while M3M, Smartworld, and Paras Buildtech are also advancing their luxury ventures across the city. DLF’s latest offering, Dahlias, represents one of the largest launches, with units starting at 9,500 sq. ft., helping the company maintain its substantial 25% share in the ultra-luxury market over the past five years.

In line with Gurgaon’s demand for upscale housing, Smartworld Developers recently achieved record sales, selling all 900 units of its high-end residential project, Smartworld Sky Arc, within 36 hours of RERA approval. “The Gurugram real estate market is already heating up,” said Vivek Singhal, CEO of Smartworld Developers, who pointed to Golf Course Extension Road and Dwarka Expressway as key hotspots for affluent buyers.

The demand is also fueling a trend for exclusive amenities and spacious condominiums, with developers noting a significant rise in buyers’ expectations. Kunal Rishi, COO of Paras Buildtech, emphasized, “We have recently witnessed a strong surge in demand for luxury condominiums, particularly in Gurugram, with buyers increasingly inclined toward exclusive properties that offer a superior lifestyle.”

The festive season has further intensified the market’s growth, a point underscored by Shashank Vashishtha, Executive Director of Exp Realty India. He remarked, “The festive season has bolstered demand, with many buyers eager to invest in luxury projects during this auspicious time.” He noted that Gurgaon’s strategic layout, social infrastructure, and thriving commercial sector have positioned it as one of Northern India’s most attractive realty destinations, especially for NCR’s high-net-worth individuals.

As Gurgaon’s luxury real estate market strengthens, experts forecast continued growth through 2025, driven by expanded infrastructure, increased connectivity, and a sustained influx of high-end buyers. The city’s development trajectory is expected to reinforce its dominance in NCR’s premium housing sector well into the future.

New Delhi, 22 October 2024: Housr, a rapidly growing luxury co-living brand, has set its sights on expanding its footprint. Along with gearing up for new launches in its existing cities, the company plans to add over 3000 beds in about 30 new properties across seven-seven cities, pushing the number of beds to over 8000 in 100 properties by March 2025.

The company is further planning to explore opportunities in new markets, aiming to hand over 11-12 properties currently in the pipeline along with foraying into new markets, including Chennai & Chandigarh, over the next 3-4 months. With an average occupancy rate between 95-98%, Housr has been quickly adapting to the dynamic market trends.

Sharing more details about the expansion spree, Deepak Anand, Co-founder & CEO, Housr said, “On average, we deliver 3-4 properties per month across our existing markets, and that helps us to maintain a steady pace towards our goal of 100 properties by the end of this fiscal year. Before the pandemic hit us all, we saw significant demand for twin-sharing rooms. However, post-pandemic, the preference has shifted dramatically. We saw exponential demand for single occupancy and, over time, for even more private spaces. At present, we are witnessing the highest demand for 1 BHK units, which is why we are heavily investing in creating new inventory to meet this growing need.”

Talking about Housr’s growth in the past two years, Deepak Anand added, “In the last two years, Housr has tripled in size, driven by both organic and inorganic growth. We’ve seen the market evolve significantly, with tenants willing to pay more for better amenities and larger living spaces. As a result, we’ve transitioned from offering premium to super-premium products to match the demand. We are targeting high-growth areas like Golf Course Road and South City in Gurugram, HSR Layout in Bangalore, and Kondapur and Madhapur in Hyderabad, where the demand for ultra-luxury accommodations is soaring,”.

Housr’s super-premium projects have also attracted corporate clients, who lease entire buildings for their employees. “There is a substantial potential in the B2B market that no other co-living player has tapped into at this level; companies that used to house employees in luxury hotels are now turning to us for long-term stays, which has become an additional revenue stream for our business.” As mentioned by Anand.

On its track to achieve an annual run rate of ₹150 Crore, the company is currently operating at an annual run rate of ₹100 Crore and aims to double this figure over the next 12-15 months. Housr’s portfolio has over 5,000 operational beds across 74 properties in five cities, including Gurugram, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Vizag.
