New Gurgaon’s evolution through the years 
New Gurgaon has witnessed rapid evolution over the last few years and several integrated townships have been built here by reputed players. Affordable property rates have fuelled growth in tandem with decent and improving connectivity, rapid infrastructural growth and future potential in terms of appreciation. The area is doing well both from a residential and commercial real estate perspective. New Gurgaon basically covers the residential sectors located beyond the second toll plaza on the National Highway 8. This micro market is one of the residential clusters in Gurgaon which have immense potential for future growth along with other hotspots like the Dwarka Expressway which is also accessible from New Gurgaon. The micro market covers sectors right after the Kherki Daula Toll Plaza and till sectors being developed until Manesar. These sectors are located on both sides of the highway which ensures good connectivity for residents. By the year 2015, more than 50,000 apartment units were already launched in the area as per reports with the number of projects inching close to 100. Apartment prices increased by a whopping 37% and 22% in New Gurgaon in the years 2012 and 2013 respectively. Prices have not increased as much in recent years but there still remains scope of healthy appreciation owing to infrastructural and connectivity improvements. It’s not just affordable and mid-income housing anymore; developers are coming up with luxury and premium housing projects in New Gurgaon to attract well-heeled buyers as well. Property sales figures are on the healthier side here and several units are also nearing completion. Several retail zones and shopping centres are also sprouting throughout New Gurgaon with many more in the pipeline. New Gurgaon offers a less congested residential hotspot for homebuyers with access to clean and fresh air. It offers accessibility to the NPR (Northern Peripheral Road) and SPR (Southern Peripheral Road) as well. Traffic congestion is also on the lower side. There are luxury hotels in the stretch including ITC Grand Bharat and Hyatt along with ITC Classic, Tarudhan Valley Golf Resort and Karma Lakelands among other golf clubs and resorts. There are several hospitals including the Rockland multi-specialty hospital. Experts feel that rapid urbanization is fast becoming a trend as far as New Gurgaon is concerned and will keep driving the property market here to newer heights. DLF lines up record bookings for New Gurgaon project 
DLF Limited, one of the biggest real estate players in the country, has confirmed a record 376 residential apartment bookings at its upcoming project in New Gurgaon for a whopping Rs. 700 crore. This is in sync with the company’s strategy of selling homes which are ready to move in. The bookings were concluded for the second phase of the premier Ultima residential project. This project contains 504 apartment units in all. 3 years earlier, DLF had confirmed that it would first be completing residential projects and then selling them to homebuyers owing to less than ideal sentiments in the market regarding under-construction projects. The record response by customers to the New Gurgaon project is an indicator of the growing popularity of the area as a residential hotspot. With development of social infrastructure taking place rapidly and further connectivity improvements, there should be steady price growth in New Gurgaon. More new project launches can be expected in the stretch over the next few years. End-users are now preferring comparatively reasonable prices and lesser traffic congestion as compared to Gurgaon and New Gurgaon offers them a suitable alternative. Good connectivity is another major USP of the area along with its well-planned layout and good civic and physical infrastructure.
