It took DLF, India’s largest real estate developer, just three days to sell its luxury high-rise residential project, ‘The Arbour’, at Golf Course Extension in Gurugram. Priced around ₹7 crore for a four BHK apartment, they were by no means bargainous; and with 1,137 flats in five towers, the project was not a small one, either. But the developer sold flats worth more than ₹8,000 crore even before the project’s launch.
Its location, of course, worked in its favour. “The area has emerged as an accessible and aspirational location being a natural extension to Golf Course Road, with seamless connectivity to other parts of Gurugram, and Delhi and Faridabad,” said Aakash Ohri, group executive director of DLF.
There had been a limited supply of luxury housing projects in Gurugram in the past few years, and the gap had been widening with the increasing demand for larger homes with facilities like swimming pools, clubhouses, multiple parking and concierge services. There has also been a lot of pent up demand in the market, more so after the pandemic, said Vivek Rathi, director of research at real estate consultants Knight Frank. “Applications for the DLF project received were almost four times the number of flats that were on offer. That highlights that the demand is way ahead of the supply.”

A golden girl
One of India's most formidable beauties passed away earlier this month. The odd thing is she would absolutely hate this obituary; she hated being written about and avoided publicity for all of her nine decades. Indira Aswani was 93 when she died. But anyone who encountered her, even briefly, was in such awe of her grace and poise, and one could not but remember her forever.

India is not a controlling big brother
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay considers India a benevolent elder sibling as the \"big brotherly attitude\" is happily missing from bilateral ties. He thinks the relationship shared by the two countries has become a model of friendship not just for the region, but for the entire world. \"India's attitude is definitely not of a big brother who is controlling and does not allow the little brother to blossom and grow,\" says Tobgay in an exclusive interview with THE WEEK.
