Sector 67 on Sohna Road has quietly turned into one of Gurugram's busiest commercial address, and Shop-Cum-Office (SCO) plots are at the centre of this shift. Unlike a strata-titled retail unit inside a mall, an SCO plot gives the buyer outright land ownership along with terrace rights, and this belt is situated along the frontage of Sector 67, Sohna Road, a commercially-zoned belt, positioned on the dedicated commercial belt on Sohna Road, aligning with the Master Plan Gurugram. That zoning clarity, combined with DLF's brand recall in the corridor, is what's pulling both end-use businesses and pure investors to the micro-market.
Across Gurugram, a striking phenomenon has emerged in recent years – the proliferation of SCO plots, standing for 'Shop-Cum-Office' plots, commercial real estate gems that have garnered immense popularity for their lucrative rental yields and versatile usage. The format lets an owner run retail on the lower floors and lease out the upper floors as offices, effectively stacking two income streams on a single plot -- a structure that has proven especially popular in fast-growing corridors like Sector 67.
DLF's flagship project in this stretch, DLF Central 67, illustrates why the format is drawing attention. The development is a premium Shop-Cum-Office (SCO) plots project spread over approximately 8.7 acres with 79 SCO plots, sizes ranging from 142 to 491 square yards, priced from ₹7.5 Crore onwards, and it carries a HARERA registration RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/768/500/2023/112 dated 04.12.2023. The project sits right next to the Aria Mall, in a prime location, which has helped anchor footfall for the businesses operating there.
Connectivity is the other big draw. Plots in this belt enjoy easy access to Golf Course extension road and Sohna road, the National Highway-48 and other major routes, with the Indira Gandhi airport nearby ensuring hassle-free air connectivity, and a rapid metro station nearby enhances the accessibility and connectivity of the project within the city. For a business owner scouting a walk-in storefront or a corporate wanting a boutique office, that kind of multi-mode access is hard to match on Sohna Road.
The catchment numbers are equally telling. Brokers marketing plots in the belt point to a projected audience of over 5 lakh people and 50,000 families within a 5-kilometer radius -- a dense residential base that keeps retail footfall steady through the week, not just on weekends. This is a big reason resale activity in the belt has stayed brisk even after primary inventory thinned out; industry listings note that the DLF SCO plots are almost completely sold out, though a few plots are still available for sale, some on resale while others are available directly from DLF.
The Sector 67 trend isn't happening in isolation. DLF has replicated the SCO format at Sector 84 on Golf Course Road, where the project is spread over approximately 7.95 acres with 122 shop-cum-office plots, each designed with a ground + 4 storey configuration, and at Arcade 68 in Sector 68, positioned as a new launch commercial project at Golf Course Road, Gurugram by DLF Home Developers Limited. Together, these launches signal that DLF sees sustained investor appetite for plotted commercial real estate across its Gurugram land bank, not just in Sector 67.
For investors weighing an entry now, the calculus is straightforward but not risk-free. On one hand, investors who purchased SCO plots in Gurgaon 5–7 years ago have seen exponential growth in land value, a trend expected to strengthen further as Gurgaon expands. On the other, most fresh inventory in Sector 67 itself is now resale, so pricing is closer to secondary-market levels than launch pricing, and buyers should verify construction timelines, actual plot possession, and RERA status before committing. Ongoing infrastructure upgrades in the belt -- including widening of internal roads and laying of fibre cables, promising even better returns in the near future -- are the kind of on-ground signals worth tracking as this corridor matures over the next few years.
