Gurugram's ultra-luxury housing story just added another headline chapter. DLF's flagship project The Camellias, situated on Golf Course Road, recorded four high-value property registrations worth a combined Rs 270 crore in September 2025, according to data accessed by property analytics firm CRE Matrix. The transactions included two primary sales of penthouses directly from DLF and two secondary-market deals, pointing to both fresh investor interest and healthy resale appetite for one of India's most coveted residential addresses.
The biggest single registration involved a 14,830 sq ft penthouse originally sold to Rahul Talwar and Ashna Vijay Chopra in 2015 for Rs 59.64 crore, which was formally registered with a stamp duty payment of Rs 3.57 crore, as per CRE Matrix records dated September 15, 2025. Insiders confirmed this was a primary transaction, since the unit was bought directly from DLF back in August 2015. Another penthouse, spanning 13,035 sq ft, had been sold to entrepreneur Chandrika Thatai in 2021 for Rs 51.17 crore and was registered on September 26, 2025, carrying a stamp duty of Rs 2.55 crore. Both penthouses come with five dedicated parking spaces, a standard feature at this price tier.
On the secondary market side, Rachna Sawhney sold a 7,361 sq ft apartment to Parmeet Singh Chadha and Gurminder Kaur Chadha for Rs 65 crore, a deal registered on September 24, 2025 with a stamp duty of Rs 3.90 crore and four parking slots. Separately, Pioneer Urban Land and Infrastructure Limited acquired a 9,419 sq ft apartment from Anuradha Duggal for Rs 95 crore, registered on September 29, 2025 with a stamp duty of Rs 6.65 crore and five car parking spaces — a transaction that underscores continued institutional and corporate interest in trophy real estate as a long-term asset class.
What makes these numbers stand out is the appreciation curve. Real estate agents tracking the project believe current market prices for comparable penthouses at The Camellias now range between Rs 150 crore and Rs 200 crore, a sharp climb from the sub-Rs 60 crore price points these very units commanded a decade ago. The Camellias has consistently commanded among the highest per-square-foot rates in the country, often crossing Rs 1 lakh per sq ft for prime units.
Spread across 17.5 acres in DLF Phase 5, The Camellias has built its reputation on more than square footage. Apartments here average close to 10,000 sq ft and open up to uninterrupted views of DLF's golf course and its landscaped greens — a setting residents and brokers often compare to Delhi's Golf Links in terms of prestige. The buyer profile leans heavily toward industrialists, startup founders, and senior corporate leaders who, according to market watchers, are increasingly trading sprawling Delhi bungalows for vertical luxury in Gurugram, drawn by privacy, security, and a tightly knit community of peers.
The September numbers add to an already long list of marquee transactions at the project. Earlier in 2025, British businessman Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia paid Rs 100 crore for an 11,416 sq ft unit, while Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal registered his apartment, originally bought three years earlier for Rs 52.3 crore. In December 2024, a 16,290 sq ft penthouse changed hands for Rs 190 crore, at the time the most expensive apartment transaction recorded in the NCR region. Taken together, these deals reinforce why The Camellias continues to be viewed as a bellwether for India's ultra-luxury housing market — and why demand for such addresses shows little sign of slowing as India's wealth base expands.
