Delhi is becoming a growing trend for aspirational luxury. By 2026, with the expansion of the Metro, the completion of additional arterial roads, and the proximity of airports providing direct access to both domestic and international flights, numerous developments will begin offering resort-style living in the midst of the metropolitan pulse. The developments in West Delhi are specifically designed around valuing the importance of health and community, in addition to being smartly designed.
As more affluent working professionals and their families search for exclusivity, yet do not wish to be isolated from the urban environment, these properties have a unique appeal. A short highlight of few WLW developments, DLF One Midtown and Tarc Kailasa, highlights how these properties are changing the standards of luxury living in the city.
DLF One Midtown: The Urban Oasis and World-Class Clubhouse
DLF One Midtown was launched by DLF and GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, in 2022, and is located in Moti Nagar, surrounded by 128 acres of parkland. It is a combination of four vertical buildings referred to as "vertical neighborhoods" due to their unique design and construction.
The crown jewel is The ONE Midtown Club, a 45,000 sq. ft. (21,200 sq. ft. indoor + 12,000 sq. ft. outdoor) masterpiece by international firm Smallwood SRSS. Indoors, residents have access to a fine-dining restaurant with a live kitchen, cozy café, bar, spa, salon, AV hall, games room, and library. Outdoors, five distinct pools, cabanas, a juice bar, Delhi's largest residential gym, kids' play area, and a convenience store create a hospitality-driven hub.
Direct tower connectivity ensures effortless access, fostering community in a fast-paced urban setting. With metro stations, malls, and NH-9 nearby, it's primed for 2026 appreciation as West Delhi's connectivity booms.
Tarc Kailasa: Himalayan Serenity Meets Modern Grandeur
With an 11.2-acre low-density site and luxurious accommodation inspired by the Himalayan retreats, TARC Kailasa is set to be the flagship property of aspirational luxury living in Shanti Nagar (West Delhi) in 2026.
This large residential development consists of three towers constructed by TARC, a well-established real estate company that specializes in timely delivery. TARC Kailasa offers three-, four-, and five-bedroom units, with the option of a dedicated servant's quarter, ranging from approximately 2,800 to 7,800 square feet. This property is unique in its layout because there can only be one apartment per floor in certain configurations (the “one unit per floor” configurations).
TARC Kailasa's centerpiece is its 100,000-square-foot clubhouse, which offers a multitude of amenities that could easily be found in a five-star resort, including infinity pools, gyms, spas, banquet facilities, business lounges, and numerous themed gardens, one of which is a Himalayan rock garden.
Modern automation technology powered by artificial intelligence is provided in residence units at TARC Kailasa; approximately 70% of the site is designed to offer open space (including ponds/lakes and streams) and to limit the effects of environmental destruction associated with urban-building construction (e.g., loss of trees, wetlands, etc.) while supporting wildlife habitat.
The proximity of the Metro system allows easy access to the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI), as well as easy traveling between various areas of Delhi. Schools within walking distance of TARC include Delhi Public School (DPS) Dwarka. Therefore, TARC Kailasa will be ideal for families looking to benefit from the growth of West Delhi's future in 2026.
The Leela Sky Villas: Elevated Luxury in Central Delhi
Rising above the Delhi skyline in the Patel Nagar area, The Leela Sky Villas is one of the most recognizable luxury residential projects in Delhi. Raheja Developers have joined hands with The Leela Group to develop this iconic tower that boasts spacious 3, 4, and 5 BHK units, as well as luxurious sky villas and duplex penthouses.
What makes this project truly unique is the living experience it provides through hospitality. Residents can avail themselves of five-star living services designed by The Leela. The project has a luxury clubhouse, spa, swimming pool, fine dining areas, and sky decks. This is a unique experience of privacy and luxury in the midst of the bustling city. With easy connectivity to Connaught Place, West Delhi, and IGI Airport, The Leela Sky Villas is a benchmark for luxury living in Delhi by 2026.
Godrej South Estate: Contemporary Luxury with a Green Core
Godrej South Estate is located in the Okhla area of South Delhi and marks the beginning of a new era of luxury living in one of the most established residential areas of the city. Godrej South Estate is a gated, low-density development that offers luxurious 2, 3, and 4BHK units.
Taking cues from the architectural scale of Lutyens’ designs, Godrej South Estate combines broad internal roads, landscaped gardens, and well-designed open spaces. The project offers a majestic clubhouse, temperature-controlled swimming pool, fitness and wellness areas, yoga decks, and carefully designed social areas. Boasting seamless connectivity to South and Central Delhi through the Metro and major roads, Godrej South Estate is designed for upmarket families who want contemporary luxury without having to leave the cultural and social fabric of Delhi behind.
