Krisumi Forest Reserve

Krisumi's newest residential launch goes by two names, Forest Reserve and Waterside Residences - The Forest Reserve, and it is being billed as the first Indo-Japanese residential development in Gurugram. The site itself is fairly compact at 6.5 acres, with three towers rising to G+42. What changes the picture is that it sits inside the much larger 65-acre Krisumi City township, so living here should feel like being part of a planned neighbourhood rather than a single plot squeezed between other projects. It is a new launch with possession listed for December 2032, and it is registered under RERA in phases, with registration numbers GGM/944/676/2025/47 and GGM/945/677/2025/48. You can check each one on the state RERA portal before booking.

Krisumi City is in Sector 36A, right where the Dwarka Expressway meets the Central Peripheral Road and NH-48. One side of the township faces a protected 220-acre green belt, and that matters more than it sounds, because it means the view from the towers should stay open instead of getting boxed in by whatever is built next. Next door is the planned 1,000-acre Global City commercial district, so over time the area is expected to grow into a place where people both live and work.

That junction location is also the key to getting around. With the Dwarka Expressway, the Central Peripheral Road and NH-48 meeting here, the drive to South Delhi and the airport is largely signal-free. Rajiv Chowk and Medanta - The Medicity are about 5.5 km away, the Millennium City Centre Metro is about 9 km, DLF Cyber City is about 13.5 km and Ambience Mall about 14 km. IGI Airport T3 is about 18 km from the gate.

The design credentials are genuine. The architecture is by Japan's Nikken Sekkei, and the interiors are by Aoyama Nomura Design Studio. Homes follow the Japanese LDK, or Living-Dining-Kitchen, approach, which cuts out the wasted corridor space you find in many Indian layouts. At the heart of the landscape is a Chinju No Mori, a dense Japanese-style forest with mist ponds and sensory walkways, and the project sets aside around 160,000 sq.ft for leisure and lifestyle amenities.

The clubhouse is the centrepiece of that space. Day to day you can expect a swimming pool, gym, spa and sauna, indoor games, a cafeteria, a jogging track and a kids' play area, along with landscaped greens, air conditioning, power backup and round-the-clock security. Still, it is the forest that really sets this apart. Most projects on this stretch give you lawns, not a woodland walk.

Krisumi uses Japanese naming for its homes, so a "2 LDK + S" is roughly a two-bedroom home with a study or utility room. On the indicative price sheet, the 2 LDK + S comes in at 2,166 sq.ft for about ₹5.20 Cr and 2,309 sq.ft for about ₹5.31 Cr. The 3 LDK + S options are 2,585 sq.ft at about ₹5.91 Cr, 2,733 sq.ft at about ₹6.56 Cr, and 3,007 to 3,213 sq.ft at about ₹7.22 to 7.39 Cr. The 4 LDK + S homes measure 3,630 to 3,993 sq.ft at about ₹8.71 to 9.50 Cr. At the top are the penthouses, at 6,883 to 7,575 sq.ft for about ₹17.21 to 18.95 Cr and 8,452 to 9,328 sq.ft for about ₹20.28 to 22.39 Cr. Pricing starts around ₹5.19 Cr, but prices move, so ask us for the current sheet before you plan your budget.

If you care about how a home is planned and not just how big it is, Forest Reserve deserves a serious look. The Japanese design team is real and named, the township setting is already defined, and the green belt protects the view. We also like the payment structure: the fourth instalment falls due at 36 months or the 22nd floor slab, whichever comes later, so your money is tied to actual construction progress. That is reassuring when you are paying from abroad and can't visit the site every quarter.

There are two things to keep in mind. Possession in December 2032 is a long wait. And because the range runs from 2,166 sq.ft all the way to 9,328 sq.ft, confirm exactly which unit the entry price buys and ask for the carpet area of your specific home.

Behind the project is Krisumi, a joint venture between India's Krishna Group and Japan's Sumitomo Corporation, and the Japanese side shows up clearly in the design and planning. All of its projects sit close together in Sector 36A, alongside Waterfall Residences and Waterfall Suites, so in effect it is one neighbourhood being built in stages. None of them is finished yet, which means there is no completed Krisumi tower to walk through. That makes it all the more important to check the HRERA registration and the possession date for your project.
