Independent Floors at Dlf Gardencity Enclave Phase 2

Decision Summary

What I'd Do As A Buyer

The shortest version of this report: specific moves, each tied to a filing fact below.

• Sales have gone quiet in the recent filed quarters — ask the sales team for the current booked-vs-total count in writing and reconcile it against the figures below.
• HRERA keeps the engineer-certified construction % in a linked certificate, not the summary — ask the builder for the latest percentage-of-work certificate to confirm physical progress.
• Ask for proof that escrow withdrawals (shown below) funded construction milestones, not other heads — that is the RERA account's whole purpose.
• Before any booking amount, get the allotment letter's possession clause and the HRERA registration certificate — they govern your delay-compensation rights.

Who This Suits & What To Verify

! Sales have stalled in recent quarters — suited to buyers who will verify demand and the reason for the slowdown before committing.

Questions To Ask The Builder

1. What is the latest engineer-certified percentage of construction, and can I see the certificate?
2. What is the current booked-vs-total unit count, and the revised possession date?
3. Can you show that escrow withdrawals match completed construction milestones?
4. Is there any HRERA complaint, extension order, or litigation on this project?

Official Unit Inventory

544 apartments filed across 6 carpet-area configurations, 136 towers, carpet areas from 744 to 862 sq ft. These are the carpet areas the developer filed with HRERA — match the unit a broker quotes you against this table; a "1,650 sq ft" pitch should map to a filed configuration here (carpet area is the RERA-defined saleable floor).

Plot Sizes on Offer

136 plots filed across 6 sizes, from 160 to 179 sq yd (median ~179 sq yd). Plot size drives both the ticket price and resale liquidity — the mid-size band near the median usually has the deepest resale demand, while the largest plots are scarcer and slower to exit. Match any plot a broker quotes you against this filed schedule (plots are sold by area, not carpet).

Land & Density

At a proposed FAR of 2.64 against a permissible 2.64, this project is built to near the legal ceiling — expect high density (more towers/units, tighter open space). Density shapes daylight, parking pressure and resale supply — worth weighing for the floor/unit you are considering.

Density & Parking

• 109 homes per acre across 5.0 acres — high-density — more homes on the land, so tighter open space and heavier lift/amenity load; weigh that against the lower likely price.

The filing gives carpet area (what you legally own) but not the builder's super-built-up, so the loading/efficiency % isn't in the RERA record — ask the builder for it and check carpet is ≥65% of super-built-up before you sign.

Which Unit to Buy Here

Two flats in the same project can differ 15–20% in liveability and resale for the same price. Here's how to pick the right one — tower, side, floor, facing, position and size — read off the sanctioned plan and the filed inventory. Directional, not surveyed: verify on a site visit.

2 · Which floor

Target the upper-middle floors: high enough to clear street dust, boundary-wall sightlines, mosquitoes and ground-floor privacy/security worries, but below the very top floor (terrace heat and leak risk). Avoid the ground and first floor (dust, noise, privacy, waterlogging in a bad monsoon) unless you specifically want a private-garden unit and accept the trade-offs. Ask which floors are refuge/service floors and skip the flats directly above or below them.

3 · Which facing

Target North, Northeast and East-facing homes — even, glare-free light all day and no direct heat load — the safe pick. Steer clear of South, West and Southwest-facing living rooms and bedrooms — west/south-west take the full 2–7pm summer sun (heat you pay to fight with the AC all year). A west kitchen or utility is fine; a west master isn't. Confirm the exact facing with a compass on site — brochure 'park-facing' isn't a compass reading.

4 · Which flat on the floor

Prefer a corner unit — two or three external walls mean cross-ventilation, light on more than one side, more windows and a resale premium. Avoid the flat that shares a wall with the lift shaft or staircase (vibration, footfall, less privacy) and the one beside the garbage chute or electrical/meter room. Check the units-per-floor-per-lift ratio — more than ~4 flats sharing one lift core means waits and crowding.

5 · Which size, for value

The 2BHK stock is the liquid part of this project — easiest to rent and to exit, so the safest for capital. Plan-profiled units span 744–862 sq ft of enclosed-room area (room-dimension sums off the sanctioned plan — below the filed carpet, which includes internal walls); check the loading (carpet ÷ super-built-up) against your agreement.

Plan-derived guidance, not a survey or a vastu consultation — confirm facing, tower distances and floor specifics on site.

Statutory Plans on File

Every core plan is declared on file — ask the builder to show you each one for your tower/unit.

Declared Facilities & Amenities

Facilities the developer committed to in the HRERA filing, with the status declared for each. "Yet to be prepared" against an amenity you are paying a premium for is a fair question to raise.

Sales Traction, Quarter by Quarter

Units the developer reported booking in each quarterly HRERA filing — the closest public read on real demand.

Escrow Account Activity

Money moving through the RERA-mandated escrow account each quarter. Withdrawals are meant to fund construction milestones — ask the builder to evidence that they did.

Builder Record
