Puri Emerald Bay

What strikes you first about Puri Emerald Bay is how much room there is. The project covers about 17 acres in Sector 104, Gurgaon, yet has only 9 towers and 16 villas. Roughly 85% of the land is open greens, with Zen-style gardens and landscaping that you will rarely find in newer, denser launches. The project is registered under RERA, registration number 136 OF 2017, and you can check it on the state RERA portal before booking.

It is ready to move, which means you can walk around, see how the society is run and talk to residents. Most units now trade on resale.

Sector 104 sits directly on Dwarka Expressway at the Delhi end. The project is just opposite a proposed commercial district and close to around 16 new residential colonies, so the area around it keeps filling in. The Diplomatic Enclave 2 is about 5 km away and South Delhi is within easy reach, which is the main reason many families pick this end of the expressway.

Being right on Dwarka Expressway, the project has IGI Airport about 7 km away and the Diplomatic Enclave 2 about 5 km away. South Delhi is a short drive, roughly 5 to 7 km according to the project information, and a metro station is proposed nearby. An airport just 7 km away is a genuine convenience if you fly in and out several times a year.

The low density is the defining feature, with only 9 towers and 16 villas on 17 acres and about 85% open greens and Zen gardens. Every apartment is open on three sides for light and cross-ventilation. There is a 25,000 sq.ft clubhouse and several pools, including a lap pool, a children's pool, a beach pool and a jacuzzi.

Beyond the clubhouse, swimming pools, gymnasium, jogging track and parks, you will find an event lawn, a reader's corner, a courtyard garden, a sculpture garden, a skating park, a tennis court and a children's play area. The essentials are in place too, with 24x7 security, CCTV, fire fighting, power backup, water storage, lifts, car parking and housekeeping and maintenance staff.

There are three layouts here: a 2 BHK + 2T of 1,550 sq.ft, a 2 BHK + 2T + Study of 1,700 sq.ft, and a 3 BHK + 3T + Servant Quarter of 2,450 sq.ft. Resale prices start around ₹2 Cr, but the actual figure depends on the unit, floor and condition, so check current listings.

Emerald Bay is a strong option for buyers who value open space and calm over the latest launch buzz. For NRIs, it ticks several practical boxes. It is finished, it is close to the airport, and the generous 2 BHK layouts appeal to tenants working across Gurgaon and West Delhi.

On any resale, check the title chain, the occupation certificate and pending maintenance dues, and inspect the actual flat for wear. Ask about monthly maintenance charges as well, since they can be higher in low-density societies with large common areas.

Puri is one of the developers on this corridor you can judge by what is already standing. Emerald Bay is one example, and Diplomatic Greens in Sector 110 is another ready project, with 3, 4 and 5 BHK homes on 20 acres. Its new launch, Diplomatic Residences in Sector 111, is pitched as an EDGE-certified green building.
