The High Life: Trends and Developments Related to Luxury Living in NCR

New Delhi, March 13, 2025: The luxury housing market in NCR continues to be on an upward trajectory, fueled by rising affluence, HNIs and NRIs investing in premium real estate. The region’s real estate is witnessing a shift in preferences, with buyers opting for uber-luxury projects with spacious layouts, exclusive amenities, and prime locations. According to Cushman and Wakefield, Delhi-NCR recorded a 56 per cent surge in launches of such projects in 2024, the highest in the country. As per the report, Gurugram was a key driver of the trend, accounting for 87 per cent of high-end and luxury launches in the region.

This growth reflects the increasing appetite for elite living spaces that offer both luxury and long-term appreciation. NCR’s real estate market is expanding beyond traditional hotspots, with emerging corridors like Dwarka Expressway, SPR, and Noida- Greater Noida Expressway witnessing a surge in premium developments. These micro-markets are attracting luxury homebuyers due to their strategic connectivity, upcoming infrastructure projects, and proximity to commercial hubs.

Besides, luxury housing has evolved beyond just spacious homes, embracing ultra-premium amenities and cutting-edge technology to offer a curated lifestyle. Premium residences integrate cutting-edge technology and personalized services to enhance convenience and comfort. Smart homes with AI-powered automation allow seamless control of lighting, temperature, and security, ensuring effortless living. Sustainability is also at the forefront, with eco-friendly construction, green certifications like LEED and IGBC, and renewable energy solutions such as solar panels and EV charging stations. In addition, vertical gardens and urban farming are enhancing the green living experience.

Says Rajjath Goel, Managing Director of MRG Group, “With new-age buyers seeking exclusivity, superior craftsmanship, and prime locations, luxury living in NCR is transforming. Micro-markets like Dwarka Expressway are becoming prime luxury hubs, offering high-end residences with top-notch amenities. Further, with rising property values, premium locations in NCR are turning into high-yield investment destinations.

, we expect the next decade will solidify the region’s status as ideal for luxury housing. As the market for luxury homes is setting new benchmarks in innovation and design, MRG is focused on delivering premium living experiences, integrating smart home features, biophilic designs, and sustainable architecture to meet evolving demands.” Yash Miglani, Managing Director, Migsun Group, says, “Luxury living today extends beyond grandeur; it’s about sustainable and future-ready spaces. Modern homebuyers prioritize wellness, eco-conscious design, and seamless technology integration. Besides, IGBC-certified developments are gaining momentum, reflecting a shift towards environmentally responsible living. Thus, we believe that the future of high-end real estate lies in harmonizing opulence with sustainability, ensuring homeowners enjoy not just comfort and exclusivity but also a lasting commitment to a greener tomorrow.”

Further, wellness-focused developments are redefining luxury living. Developers are integrating amenities that promote relaxation and rejuvenation. Adding to this serene experience, resort-like landscaping with thematic plantations and nature trails within gated communities enhances the sense of tranquility, making luxury homes not just residences but sanctuaries of peace and wellness. The definition of luxury living has further evolved as homebuyers seek a seamless blend of convenience and exclusivity. The rise of mixed-use developments that integrate luxury residences with curated retail, fine dining, and entertainment experiences drives this trend. In Delhi NCR, where urbanization and population density are high, mixed-use developments would be an attractive option for both developers and buyers.

Sehaj Chawla, Managing Director, TREVOC, says: “The landscape of luxury living in NCR is evolving as buyers move beyond conventional residences to homes that offer a complete lifestyle ecosystem. The focus is shifting towards seamless integration of technology, thoughtful design, and curated experiences that extend beyond the four walls. At TREVOC, we see this as an opportunity to create spaces that don’t just reflect affluence but also anticipate the aspirations of a new generation of luxury homeowners.”

Uddhav Poddar, CMD, Bhumika Group, says, “Luxury real estate is evolving beyond standalone residences, with mixed-use developments emerging as the new standard for modern, high-end living. Today’s buyers seek projects where convenience meets exclusivity, seamlessly integrating residential, commercial, and recreational spaces under one roof. This trend is not only enhancing urban convenience but also driving long-term property value, making mixed-use developments the preferred choice for discerning homeowners who want a well-connected and luxury lifestyle.”

Therefore, luxury housing in NCR is undergoing a remarkable transformation, driven by changing buyer preferences, emerging micro-markets, and the integration of smart, sustainable, and wellness-focused living. With a growing appetite for ultra-luxury homes, mixed-use developments, and tech-enabled residences, the region is setting new benchmarks in high-end real estate.
