The purchase is coming at a time when there has been a growing trend of large houses in premium housing projects being aggressively pursued by investors, businesspersons and wealthy individuals in the ultra-luxury housing market of Gurugram.

This transaction also shows the overall trend of the residential property market in India to move towards premium and ultra-premium properties.
