DLF has sold all 172 residences in its first luxury senior living project in Gurugram for around ₹1,985 crore, signalling strong demand for premium retirement housing in India.
The project, The Aureva, is located in Sector 63, Gurugram, and marks DLF’s entry into the specialised senior living segment. Its complete sell-out comes as affluent Indian buyers increasingly look beyond conventional luxury homes towards residences that combine comfort, healthcare, wellness and community living.
The 172 residences have an average realisation of about ₹11.5 crore each, with the average selling price working out to around ₹28,000 per square foot. Spread across about 4.17 acres, the development has more than four lakh square feet of carpet area and over 7.5 lakh square feet of saleable area.
The numbers highlight the premium positioning of The Aureva. The development has been designed not simply as a collection of retirement apartments, but as a high-end residential community where older residents can maintain an independent lifestyle while having access to healthcare and support services when required.
The project will comprise a G+45-floor tower with four-bedroom residences. Each home comes with private decks, premium finishes, dedicated staff dormitory spaces and three parking spaces. Universal-access features have also been incorporated to make movement within the development easier and safer for senior residents.
The concept revolves around three themes — wellbeing, independence and community. Residents will have access to a luxury clubhouse, indoor swimming pool, spa, yoga pavilion, meditation centre, library, banquet facilities and landscaped spaces.
A professionally managed medical centre is also planned within the development, along with emergency response services and need-based healthcare support. The combination of residential living with healthcare and wellness facilities reflects the changing expectations of India’s affluent senior population.
Retirement housing is increasingly becoming more than a question of finding a comfortable apartment. Access to healthcare, social interaction, recreational facilities and homes designed around changing mobility needs are becoming important considerations for older buyers and their families.
DLF Home Developers Managing Director and Chief Business Officer Aakash Ohri said The Aureva reflects an effort to redefine luxury retirement living in India. The company has positioned the project around thoughtful design, wellbeing, convenience and community rather than conventional notions of retirement housing.
The response to The Aureva also points to a broader shift in India’s luxury real estate market. High-income buyers are showing greater willingness to pay for specialised residential experiences, while developers are increasingly exploring housing formats aimed at specific lifestyle needs.
Location has played an important role in the project’s positioning. The Aureva is situated in Sector 63, next to DLF’s The Arbour, with connectivity to Golf Course Extension Road, Southern Peripheral Road and NH-48. The area also provides access to Gurugram’s commercial and lifestyle hubs.
DLF’s successful launch comes as India’s demographic profile creates a potentially larger market for senior living communities. Longer life expectancy, changing family structures, rising household wealth and greater financial independence among older Indians are contributing to demand for housing that can support residents through different stages of later life.
The sell-out also puts DLF’s stock in focus. Investors are watching the company’s ability to generate strong residential sales amid changing market conditions. DLF’s sales bookings stood at ₹20,143 crore in 2025-26, compared with ₹21,223 crore in the previous financial year, while bookings in the first quarter of the current fiscal year were lower year-on-year.
The Aureva gives DLF an early success in a segment that remains relatively new to India’s organised real estate industry. The project demonstrates that a section of affluent buyers is willing to pay a substantial premium for a combination of luxury, healthcare, independence and community.
The complete sale of all 172 homes could also encourage other developers to explore premium senior living as a new growth opportunity. As India’s population ages and consumer expectations evolve, retirement homes are increasingly being viewed not as places designed around limitations, but as communities built around comfort, dignity and an active lifestyle.
