Gurugram: The ₹100-crore Camellias deal is for a bare-shell, first-floor corner flat, a price typically reserved for higher floors
British businessman Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia has purchased an 11,416 sq ft apartment in DLF’s ultra-luxury project, The Camellias, Gurugram, for ₹100 crore, sources said. The deal underscores the growing preference among global Indians and ultra-high-net-worth individuals for luxury condominiums over standalone homes.
They said the unit is a bare-shell, first-floor corner simplex apartment, and this is significant because, despite being on a lower floor, it has fetched ₹100 crore, a price usually reserved for higher-floor units, according to sources.
Spread across 17.5 acres of land, The Camellias is a confluence of wealth – it’s like living in a 7-star hotel 365 days, 24 hours a day. This is the project where the country’s most successful people reside – from industrialists, CXOs, start-up founders and the who’s who of Delhi’s elite club, some of whom moved away from independent kothis to these almost 10,000 sq ft-odd apartments located in Delhi’s suburbs.
Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia confirmed the deal, saying he had initially considered buying a farmhouse but chose a gated condominium instead, as he frequently visits India. While he owns a property on Kautilya Marg, he prefers staying in Gurugram.
“I’m delighted to have purchased this spectacular property in The Camellias. It’ll provide a wonderful base in India as I spend significantly more time on the ground,” he said.
Ahluwalia, who founded Euro Car Parts and later sold the business, currently helms Dominvs Group, a London-based enterprise with interests spanning real estate, hospitality, and asset management.
With his latest purchase, Ahluwalia joins an elite group of homeowners at The Camellias, a development that has become synonymous with high-value transactions and upscale urban living.
A set of queries has been sent to DLF. The story will be updated if a response is received.
Other high-value deals at The Camellias
