Experion The Westerlies

The Westerlies is for people who would rather own land than an apartment. Experion has built a low-rise gated township in Sector 108 that sells residential plots and built villas, and on a plot you can build your own house. Its DTCP licences cover roughly 116.5 acres in total, and Experion describes it as more than 100 acres. It is registered under RERA in phases, with registration numbers RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/593/325/2022/68, RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/694/426/2023/38, RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/373/105/2019/67 and RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/511/243/2021/79. You can check each one on the state RERA portal before booking.

All four plotted phases are registered with HARERA Gurugram and marked complete on the register. The project is ready to move, and the gallery photos on Experion's site are real site photographs, not renders.

Sector 108 sits right at the Delhi border, and the township is next to the Delhi green reserve zone, which gives it a calmer, greener edge than most of the corridor. Experion puts it at 0 km from the Delhi border. A 75-metre-wide sector road connects it to Delhi and leads to the Dwarka Expressway, so the drive into the capital or towards the airport is straightforward, with IGI Airport roughly 15 to 20 km away via the expressway.

This is a finished gated township of plots and villas, not apartments. A sculpted arch gate opens onto tree-lined boulevards, and at the centre is a park with an amphitheatre, yoga zone, kids' play area and reflexology footpath. The master plan also sets aside sites for a community centre, schools and a nursing home.

Day to day, you have that central park with its amphitheatre, a yoga deck, a jogging track and the kids' play area, with a club house in the plan. Experion advertises 100% power backup, and the community is gated with CCTV and 24x7 security, which matters a lot if the house will sit empty while you are abroad.

Residential plots range from about 135 to 1,007 sq.m, roughly 161 to 1,204 sq.yd. The villas are 4 and 5 BHK, and portals list them at about 4,486 to 8,998 sq.ft, though Experion does not publish those sizes. Prices are on request. Experion doesn't publish prices, and portal quotes vary widely with plot size and position, so ask NRIVEST for a quote on the specific plot you like.

Owning a plot gives you something an apartment can't: control over what you build, and land that is yours outright. Here you also get a finished, gated community near Delhi, so you aren't waiting years for a developer to deliver. For an NRI planning an eventual return, a plot bought now and built on later can be a flexible choice.

That said, a plot is only as useful as what you are allowed to build on it. Check the permissible FAR, floors and building plan approvals for your plot, and ask whether the community centre, schools and nursing home have been built or are still provisions on the master plan.

Experion Developers is the Indian real estate arm of Singapore-based Experion Holdings, based in Gurugram. On the Dwarka Expressway it has completed projects, Heartsong in Sector 108 and Windchants in Sector 112, which makes it easier to judge the builder on finished work rather than promises.
