Developers sharpen focus on luxury, wellness and integrated communities as buyers seek long-term value in 2026
The Indian real estate sector in 2025 entered a phase of sustained momentum, driven by stable economic growth, evolving consumer expectations, and increased private investment across residential and commercial segments. Industry insights indicate a clear shift toward premiumisation, as homebuyers increasingly prioritize larger living spaces, integrated communities, and future-ready amenities. The NCR market, in particular, witnessed robust end-user demand and notable capital appreciation, supported by policy reforms, improved financing conditions, and accelerated infrastructure development. Gurgaon remained the epicenter of this growth, delivering exceptional performance across luxury, premium, and plotted housing categories. Key corridors such as Dwarka Expressway, Southern Peripheral Road, Golf Course Extension, New Gurgaon, and Sohna saw strong traction due to enhanced connectivity, expanding social infrastructure, and the city’s thriving corporate ecosystem.Both residential and commercial segments benefitted significantly from the rise of GCC setups, strong Grade-A office leasing, and heightened investor confidence.
According to Mr. Neeraj K Mishra, Executive Director, Ganga Realty, “2025 has been a defining year for NCR real estate, especially Gurgaon, where demand patterns have shifted decisively toward high-quality, lifestyle-driven homes. Buyers today are prioritizing amenities, sustainability, and long-term value, which is driving developers to innovate. With the Dwarka Expressway nearing full readiness and major infrastructure upgrades set to transform connectivity, 2026 will unlock even more opportunities in emerging micro-markets. At Ganga Realty, we believe the next year will witness a substantial rise in end-user and investor participation, supported by a stable economy and a maturing consumer mindset.”
Looking ahead, 2026 is poised to reinforce this positive momentum as infrastructure delivery accelerates, digital processes enhance transparency, and lifestyle-focused communities become mainstream. Demand is expected to remain strong across Gurgaon’s most active micro-markets, with developers placing greater emphasis on wellness-centric design, sustainability, and technological integration.
Reflecting on the evolving market landscape, Mr. Saransh Trehan, Managing Director, Trehan Group, said, “The NCR housing market in 2025 demonstrated remarkable resilience and depth, with Gurgaon leading in both sales and new launches. The city has evolved into a modern real estate powerhouse, offering everything from premium apartments to plotted developments that cater to new-age living. As we move into 2026, demand will continue to strengthen, particularly in well-planned corridors like SPR, New Gurgaon, and Sohna. With improved infrastructure, rising incomes, and increasing preference for secure communities, we expect the market to grow steadily. Trehan Group remains committed to delivering customer-centric projects aligned with the aspirations of today’s homebuyers.”
With a maturing consumer base, rapid infrastructure expansion, and a strong preference for quality-driven development, Gurgaon is well-positioned to retain its standing as NCR’s most influential real estate market in 2026.
