Dwarka Expressway has become Gurgaon’s most talked-about residential corridor of the last few years, and Elan Group entered it later than most of its commercial-first peers but with more force. Two residential towers now anchor Elan’s presence on this stretch, in Sector 106, and they’re often confused for each other despite targeting slightly different buyers.
Why Elan Chose Dwarka Expressway
For a developer that spent nearly a decade building only commercial real estate, moving into residential meant picking a corridor with real momentum. Dwarka Expressway offered that — an operational expressway link, improving connectivity to Delhi and IGI Airport, and land parcels large enough to build the scale Elan wanted for a first residential bet. The company’s own figures at the launch of its first residential project cited an investment of roughly ₹4,000 crore across a planned 30-acre, three-phase development.
Elan The Presidential: The First Mover
Launched in December 2022, The Presidential was Elan’s residential debut. Reports put the project at roughly 24 acres, with 866 units across 3, 4, and 5 BHK configurations ranging from about 2,450 to over 7,300 square feet, and possession indicated for around October 2027. It carries a Haryana RERA registration, which — as with most large multi-phase launches — is worth verifying directly against the current listing on the state portal.
Positioning-wise, The Presidential reads as super-luxury rather than ultra-luxury: spacious, well-appointed, but pitched at a broader buyer pool than what came after it.
Elan The Emperor: The Step Up
The Emperor arrived as Elan’s second residential swing on the same stretch, and it’s pitched noticeably higher. Reports describe it spread over roughly 33.5 acres with just five towers and around 580 units — a genuinely low-density number for a project this size. Configurations run to 4 and 5 BHK apartments and penthouses from about 4,223 square feet up to over 10,000 square feet, with reported pricing starting around ₹10 crore and penthouses reaching up to roughly ₹25.61 crore.
The amenity list leans into that positioning too — a large dedicated clubhouse space, an Olympic-size pool, floating sauna, and sports courts, all aimed at a buyer for whom space and exclusivity matter more than unit count.
Side-by-Side: What Actually Differs
- Unit count and density: The Presidential’s 866 units versus The Emperor’s roughly 580 — a meaningfully lower density at the Emperor.
- Unit sizes: Presidential starts smaller (around 2,450 sq ft); Emperor’s smallest configuration is already larger than Presidential’s biggest reported unit.
- Price positioning: Presidential sits in the super-luxury bracket; Emperor is pitched as one of the more exclusive addresses on the entire corridor.
- Buyer profile: Presidential suits large families wanting scale and choice across configurations; Emperor suits buyers prioritising privacy, low density, and villa-like proportions within a high-rise.
What This Means for Corridor-Wide Comparisons
If you’re evaluating Elan residential Dwarka Expressway options against other developers on the same stretch, remember these two projects aren’t interchangeable comparisons — Presidential competes more directly with other super-luxury towers in the 2,500-4,000 sq ft bracket, while Emperor’s real competitive set is the handful of genuinely ultra-luxury, low-density projects on the corridor.
For current floor plans, tower-wise pricing, and RERA documentation on both projects, it’s worth checking directly at elan residential dwarka expressway rather than piecing information together from multiple listing portals that don’t always stay current.
The Corridor Itself, Briefly
Dwarka Expressway’s transformation from a developing fringe to a functioning high-density corridor has been one of Gurgaon’s more visible infrastructure stories in recent years. That said, construction activity across the stretch remains heavy in patches, so anyone visiting either project should expect a work-in-progress environment around the immediate vicinity for the near term, even where the specific tower itself is well along.
