In one of India’s largest residential property transactions, a Delhi-NCR businessman has purchased four ultra-luxury apartments worth ₹380 crore in DLF’s The Dahlias on Golf Course Road, Gurugram. The acquisition underscores the continued strength of the country’s high-end housing segment, driven by a surge in demand from ultra-wealthy buyers seeking exclusive, design-forward, and investment-grade real estate assets.
The four apartments together span about 35,000 sq. ft. and are part of DLF’s most recent addition to its prestigious Golf Links portfolio, which already includes The Magnolias, The Aralias, and The Camellias.
The transaction was advised by Rizin Advisory Pvt Ltd. “We advised on the transaction,” confirmed Kshitij Jain, founder of the firm. Market insiders told The Economic Times that the buyer already owns a home in The Camellias and decided to purchase additional units at The Dahlias as an upgrade, reflecting the evolving preferences of India’s wealthiest homeowners who seek both exclusivity and lifestyle enhancement.
Located within DLF5 Golf Links, The Dahlias is designed as an ultra-premium community that integrates contemporary architecture with expansive green spaces and an emphasis on privacy. The project spans approximately 7.5 million sq. ft. and comprises 420 residences across eight towers and 29 floors. It includes 15 duplex penthouses and a grand clubhouse overlooking the proposed Lake Park. Architecturally, the eight towers are arranged in opposing arcs to enhance airflow, light, and panoramic views while preserving the seclusion of each home.
Earlier this year, DLF recorded pre-launch sales of ₹11,816 crore for The Dahlias, among the highest ever achieved for a single residential development in India. According to data from CRE Matrix, the project is also the first in India’s housing market to cross ₹10,000 crore in sales within a single quarter—an indicator of how strong the appetite for luxury housing has become.
Gurugram has now firmly established itself as the epicentre of India’s luxury real estate market, even overtaking Delhi’s Lutyens zone in terms of both transaction volume and ticket size. The city also registered the country’s most expensive property deal of 2025 earlier this year—a ₹190-crore penthouse sale—underscoring its growing dominance in the premium segment. Analysts attribute this shift to the limited availability of large luxury homes in central Delhi and the superior infrastructure, amenities, and lifestyle offerings of Gurugram’s upscale corridors such as Golf Course Road and Golf Course Extension.
The timing of this mega-deal coincides with an exceptional phase for India’s luxury housing market. Developers such as DLF, Lodha, Prestige, and Tata Housing have reported record pre-sales in their top-end projects, driven by strong domestic liquidity, rising incomes, and the return of global Indian investors.
Post-pandemic lifestyle shifts have also played a key role. With remote and hybrid work becoming more permanent, affluent professionals are choosing larger homes with better amenities, security, and privacy. Gurugram, with its connectivity, international schools, and growing retail ecosystem, has emerged as a natural extension of that demand.
Analysts note that such large-ticket deals are not only about real estate but also about positioning and legacy. Owning a home in The Dahlias or The Camellias is increasingly seen as a status symbol comparable to addresses like Lutyens Delhi or South Mumbai.
