The Lulu Group has been searching for a residential property in Lutyens Delhi for an extended period,” stated an individual familiar with the deal. Sunder Nagar has become a favored location for high-net-worth individuals, with many acquiring bungalows in this prestigious Lutyens enclave since the onset of Covid.
In 2022, former solicitor general of India, Gopal Subramanium, purchased a vast 866-square-yard bungalow in the Sunder Nagar area of Lutyens’ Delhi for Rs 85 crore. Following Covid, two additional plots in the Sunder Nagar vicinity were sold for approximately Rs 130 crore each. Experts noted that a significant portion of new buyers in the luxury market comprises startup founders who have profited from stake sales.
The residences acquired by these executives are predominantly situated in Mumbai, Goa, Alibaug, and affluent areas of Delhi such as Jor Bagh, Sunder Nagar, and Golf Links. Despite facing global challenges, nearly 67% of high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs) remain optimistic about India’s growth trajectory over the next 12 to 24 months.
As per the annual luxury residential outlook survey conducted by India Sotheby’s International Realty (ISIR), 67% of affluent investors anticipate annualized real estate returns of up to 15%, while 53% of buyers invested in luxury real estate for capital appreciation, and 47% purchased for personal use, indicating a balanced demand mix.
City-based residential properties continue to be the preferred choice among the wealthy, with 31% prioritizing primary residences and 30% focusing on investment assets.As the quality of inventory decreases and prices rise, the interest of High Net-worth Individuals (HNWIs) and Ultra High Net-worth Individuals (UHNWIs) in acquiring second homes has diminished over the last year.
