Elan Imperial

Elan calls Imperial a luxury mall, but the mix goes further than shops. Alongside retail for premium and international brands, the plan includes a five-star hotel, a large food court, dining restaurants and a multiplex with other entertainment. It is being built by Elan Imperial Pvt. Ltd. (earlier Ambience Infrastructure Developers Pvt. Ltd.) on licensed land of about 7.65 acres, and building plans were approved in February 2024. It is registered under RERA, registration number RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/788/520/2024/15. You can check it on the state RERA portal before booking.

The project is under construction, with possession listed for December 2028. It is a large site for a single commercial destination in this part of Gurgaon, which leaves room for the hotel, entertainment and dining to sit together under one roof rather than as scattered blocks.

The site fronts a 75-metre master road in Sector 82, the road that links the New Gurugram sectors. The sectors around it, roughly 79 to 86, are mostly residential, some established and some still coming up. A mall here would be the big shopping and entertainment stop for that whole belt, rather than one of several competing nearby. On top of that master road frontage, there is direct connectivity to NH-48 (Delhi-Jaipur Highway), and the Dwarka Expressway is a few minutes' drive away.

The headline features are the five-star hotel within the development, luxury retail aimed at premium and international brands, the large food court and fine-dining restaurants, and a multiplex and entertainment zone. Benoy is credited as design partner, and the renders show a curved glass facade, open atria, water features and planted terraces. The project is HARERA registered.

For visitors and tenants the essentials are in place. You get central air conditioning, lifts, car parking, power backup, CCTV and 24x7 security, plus landscaped greens, the food court and the multiplex.

The retail shops on file come in two sizes, about 636 sq.ft and about 870 sq.ft. Indicative prices start around ₹1.89 Cr. Prices move, so ask NRIVEST for the current sheet.

The hotel is the part we would pay attention to. A five-star hotel on site can bring a steadier stream of visitors through the week, which is exactly what a shop owner needs, while the multiplex and food court add evening traffic.

Be careful with the payment plan, though. It asks for 40% at booking and includes an assured-return arrangement until possession. Treat that as a contract to read closely, not a promise about the rent you will earn after handover. Check construction progress against the December 2028 date, and ask how leasing will be handled once the mall opens, especially if you will be managing from abroad.

Elan is a Gurugram developer that made its name with retail and commercial projects before moving into big-ticket housing. Its residential projects, The Presidential and The Emperor in Sector 106, are aimed squarely at the luxury end.
