Godrej Properties teases ‘The Elevated Living Edit’ at Gurugram showcase

New Delhi: Godrej Properties Limited (GPL) unveiled key highlights from its forthcoming 'The Elevated Living Edit' report at Godrej Meridian, Gurugram, offering an early look into emerging lifestyle and design trends.

The insights were shared during a fireside chat held as part of GPL’s Shubh Aarambh season, featuring actor Sara Ali Khan and Rohit Mohan, Chief Design Officer, Godrej Properties, with the discussion moderated by Kalyani Chawla, Founder of Rezon Luxury Silverware. Shubh Aarambh is GPL’s signature handover IP, and elevated ceremonial experience that transforms a home handover in to a moment of pride and grandeur for its customers.

Based on insights from close to 1,500 affluent respondents across seven major Indian metros, the preview shared at the event highlighted 10 emerging trends that reflect a decisive shift in how premium homebuyers evaluate luxury, moving beyond traditional markers of size and location to prioritise brand trust, wellness and liveability.

The sneak peek also revealed that high-rise developments continue to dominate buyer preference, with 84% preferring homes with balconies, over 60% preferring dedicated lifts for their pets.

Furthermore, wellness-led planning through green zones, yoga and meditation spaces, and outdoor extension has firmly transitioned from a value-add to an expectation among affluent buyers with almost 70% showing a preference for yoga and meditation spaces.

Commenting at the event, Geetika Trehan, CEO – North Zone, Godrej Properties, said, “This season of Shubh Aarambh is a deeply meaningful milestone for us at Godrej Properties. This season will see handover of homes in close to 10 projects across Delhi and NCR. This initiative is not just the completion of a project, but the beginning of a new chapter for our homeowners, one that we have carefully curated with intention, sensitivity, and a strong focus on everyday liveability.

"Our philosophy is reflected in India’s luxury housing market as well. Today’s premium homebuyer is investing in a lifestyle defined by wellness, thoughtful design, and long-term value, rather than just scale or location. At Godrej Properties, we remain committed to creating communities that are rooted in trust and aligned with the evolving aspirations of modern India.”

Sharing a design perspective, Rohit Mohan, Chief Design Officer, Godrej Properties, said, “The emerging trends clearly indicate that liveability is becoming the true meaning of luxury. Homebuyers are looking for sustainable, wellness-focused, and design-centric spaces that feel intuitive and are functional. These insights strengthen our focus on creating homes that are thoughtfully designed to provide everyday joy of living.”

Actor Sara Ali Khan shared her point of view and highlighted, “There is something very special about a home handover, and it marks a true Shubh Aarambh. It’s the start of memories, routines, and moments that shape everyday life. Luxury today is no longer about excess; it’s about awareness of how we live, what we value, and the spaces we choose to grow in. Homes that integrate wellness, thoughtful design, and a sense of balance resonate deeply with the way modern lifestyles are evolving.”

She further added, “The Elevated Living Edits by Godrej Properties highlights several trends that strongly resonate with me. It explores how modern Indian homebuyers define luxury today, shifting away from excess and towards calm, wellness, privacy, and homes that support everyday living.”

The preview at Shubh Arambh further highlights the increasing importance of brand credibility, privacy-oriented features, and technology-led decision-making, signalling a more holistic approach to luxury home buying in India. The Elevated Living Edit, to be released later this year, will offer deeper, data-led insights into the changing mindset of India’s premium homebuyer and the future direction of luxury residential development.
