Gurugram has witnessed one of its latest ultra-luxury real estate transactions, with British businessman Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia acquiring an 11,416 sq ft apartment in DLF’s premium project, The Camellias, for ₹100 crore as per Hindustan Times . The purchase highlights the growing interest among global Indians and high-net-worth individuals in luxury condominiums over standalone homes.
The apartment is a bare-shell, first-floor corner simplex unit. Typically, such high-value transactions are associated with higher-floor apartments, making this deal noteworthy. Located in one of the country’s most exclusive residential clusters, The Camellias spans 17.5 acres and has become synonymous with elite urban living, attracting industrialists, CXOs, start-up founders, and prominent members of Delhi-NCR’s affluent community.
Ahluwalia, founder of Euro Car Parts and currently leading Dominvs Group, a London-based enterprise involved in real estate, hospitality, and asset management, confirmed the transaction. He had considered purchasing a farmhouse initially but chose a gated condominium for convenience, as he frequently visits India. The acquisition allows him a base in Gurugram while he remains engaged with his business interests.
The Camellias has been a site for multiple high-value deals in recent years. Notably, Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal purchased an apartment three years ago for ₹52.3 crore, while in December 2024, Rishi Parti, CEO of Info-X Software Technology, acquired a penthouse for ₹190 crore. Earlier transactions also include a 10,000 sq ft unit sold to Smiti Agarwal, wife of Hemant Agarwal of V Bazaar Retail Pvt Ltd, for ₹95 crore in February 2024, and a resale 11,000 sq ft unit for ₹114 crore in October 2023.
The project’s appeal stems from its location on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road, which has emerged as one of the most sought-after residential addresses in the region. As of April 2025, apartments in The Camellias were trading at approximately ₹87,800 per sq ft, with leasing rates ranging between ₹12 lakh and ₹16 lakh per month. Its strategic location and high-quality infrastructure continue to attract buyers seeking luxury urban residences.
Analysts suggest that the shift toward luxury condominiums, including bare-shell units, reflects evolving preferences among affluent buyers. There is an increasing demand for apartments that provide the amenities of high-end living combined with security, privacy, and convenience offered by gated communities. Buyers like Ahluwalia prefer such setups over independent villas or townhouses, given the lifestyle advantages and lower maintenance responsibilities.
The Camellias development also demonstrates how urban luxury residential projects in India have become investment destinations for non-resident Indians and foreign investors. The combination of a secure, centrally located property with extensive facilities has made the project one of the most significant high-value real estate addresses in Gurugram.
The transaction also highlights the steady growth of Gurugram’s luxury real estate sector despite market fluctuations in other parts of the NCR. Experts note that factors such as proximity to corporate hubs, lifestyle infrastructure, and social amenities continue to drive interest in premium developments.
