Five years ago branded and recognized residential projects were almost 100% located around Golf Course Road in Gurugram they have now changed significantly and are now also located along Dwarka Expressway.

Premium branded flats being launched by developers along Dwarka Expressway are one of few growing segments within that corridors’ residential market. The entry of international hospitality/lifestyle brands along the Dwarka Expressway through licensing agreements with established developers, will bring globally recognized standard of services and designs to a corridor that until now has primarily been developed with the mid-segment housing product.

This blog post outlines how branded residences are defined today by buyers looking to purchase on Dwarka Expressway, some of the factors they should consider prior to making a purchase, and how this corridor will be the next frontier/community for branded residences in Gurugram.

Why Dwarka Expressway Is Attracting Branded Developments?

The premium branded flats located along the Dwarka Expressway have experienced rapid growth during the past couple of years for three main reasons:

1. Land Availability

The land is still available (in large areas) for development. On the other hand, there is little available for development along Golf Course Road since a large portion of that area has been completed. This means that developers can assemble larger lots to accommodate their larger footprints that premium branded products typically require. This includes larger amenity areas, larger landscaping areas, and larger areas of service infrastructure.

2. Maturing Infrastructure

The infrastructure supporting the area has matured. The Dwarka Expressway Elevated Highway is complete and provides a travel time of 8-10 mins to get to IGI Airport. This makes commuting to work much easier for international branded companies who are considering expanding into new markets. Travel time from the airport to the local office is an extremely important consideration for international branded company executives and for any global guest programs.

3. Established Demand

There is already an established demand for the product. Since 2015, over 50,000 units of residential property have been completed along this corridor. As a result, there is a large base of high-income buyers that already know the area well. When premium branded developments are sold on Dwarka Expressway, they will be sold into an established market rather than creating a new one.

What Defines a Branded Residence on This Corridor?

A branded residence is a development undertaken in accordance with formal management or licensing agreements executed with recognized international brand manufacturers in the hospitality or lifestyle sectors.

Branded residences along Dwarka Expressway will typically have the following characteristics:

•

Architectural and interior design requirements approved by the brand.

•

Concierge services, housekeeping services, and maintenance services that operate in an identical manner to that of any other hotel/resort that utilizes these particular brand's services.

•

Branded common areas/facilities - such as spas, clubs, health and fitness facilities, food outlets, etc. that meet the identical level of service provided by the respective brand's respective Hotels/Resorts.

•

Access to that particular brand's loyalty program/benefit program across their universe of properties.

Differentiating between true branded residences and apartment/condominium projects that utilize an aspirational name in their marketing materials will be established by three factors: the formal license agreement executed between the development team and the brand name manufacturer and the terms/conditions contained therein, periodic audits conducted by the respective brand to ensure that all of the respective brand's service standards are being adhered to, and the level of involvement of the respective brand team associated with the subject property throughout the entire sales, marketing, and leasing processes.

As a result, buyers should always confirm what type of branded project they are considering purchasing before assuming that they have all of the same rights and privileges associated with that brand.

What to Evaluate Before Buying?

Buyers should verify a number of important things when preparing to purchase a high-end flat on Dwarka Expressway because not every branded project along the corridor is fully operationally supported. Key items to consider include the following:

Licensing structure

Verify if the brand has an active, long-term licensing agreement (not a one-time naming agreement) with the developer. This information should be part of a project’s RERA filing.

Brand operational commitment

Find out how long the brand is committed to managing or overseeing the property after handover. The agreement for a premium branded flat on Dwarka Expressway may be for 10-15 years or shorter pre-sale only arrangements.

Maintenance fee structure

Branded amenities and/or concierge services generally have an ongoing cost. Make sure you understand this recurring maintenance fee before you purchase as it will be separate from your original purchase price.

Developer delivery history

The brand provides design/service standards while the developer is responsible for construction and delivering the property. Verify the developer’s past performance independently with regard to other projects on Dwarka Expressway.

RERA & OC status

RERA registration and obtaining an OC for premium projects along the Dwarka Expressway is still applicable via the standard Haryana RERA requirements. Ensuring that a property has both of these items prior to making a purchasing commitment is critical.

Many buyers fail to conduct appropriate due diligence prior to purchasing a branded project only to discover later that their brand relationship consists only of marketing outside of that which is delivered.

Key Takeaways

•

Dwarka Expressway is the next branded residences frontier.

•

Large land parcels enable bigger, premium branded projects.

•

Airport proximity attracts international brands and executives.

•

Confirm active licensing, not just aspirational brand marketing.

•

Always verify RERA status before any purchase commitment.
