New Delhi: Tall skylines anchored by impressive high-rise buildings have been the staple image of cities like Mumbai, dominated by office towers and residential condominium skyscrapers. With nearly 200 skyscrapers and 12,000 constructed high-rise buildings, Mumbai has the highest concentration of high-rises in India and is also known to have the 7th highest number of high-rises in the world as well as the highest number of high-rises under construction.
However, of late high-rise buildings, and even skyscrapers, are starting to claim more and more spots in other cities such as Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Kolkata, and Hyderabad. With demand for apartments strong across the country, combined with the scarcity and value of land sharply increasing, developers in urban areas are looking upwards in their quest to provide a healthy supply of residential units.
Up until 2010, there were virtually no high-rise residential towers in Delhi. But now that there are a few to choose from, people are starting to understand the premium attached to high-rise views. Buyers are discovering the modern joys of airtight triple glazing and fantastic views from their balconies. Along with the best views, these buildings also offer excellent natural ventilation and fresh air and are away from the street pollution. Homes on higher floors tend to have a more open and airy feel, with plenty of natural light, and utmost privacy, which is a prerequisite for many.
A research by Anarock, a leading real estate service provider, reveals that Delhi-NCR witnessed the most notable change in new project typologies. Of 62 new projects launched in NCR in 2021, around 39 (63%) were high-rises. Currently there are more than 5,500 high rise buildings in the region with thousands more under construction. Several analysts believe that the need for tall buildings and the ease of lockdowns adds to the residential demand, hence seeing an upsurge in both sales and launches.
So, before the prices shoot up due to huge demands, let us help you find the home that perfectly fits your style and status. Here’s our list featuring the most promising luxury high-rise projects fast-tracked towards completion in the heart of Delhi. Check them out!
