Puri Diplomatic Residences

Here is a launch where you do not have to take the builder's word for everything. Puri Diplomatic Residences is the Puri Group's new project in Sector 111, Gurgaon, and the same developer has two finished communities a short drive away. That alone makes it easier to assess than many launches on this side of the city. The project is registered under RERA, registration number RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/787/519/2024/14, and you can check it on the state RERA portal before booking.

It covers about 6 acres and offers 3 and 4 BHK apartments. Since it is a new launch, possession is some way off; the indicated date is December 2028, which is worth confirming against the HRERA registration. Puri positions it as a green building with EDGE certification, and there is also a furnished 4 BHK tower for buyers who would rather skip a year of interior work.

Sector 111 sits at the Delhi end of Dwarka Expressway, close to the border. For a lot of buyers that is the whole point. You are near Delhi without paying Delhi prices, and the surrounding Sectors 102 to 105 are already established residential areas. If family or work regularly takes you into Delhi, this side of the expressway is far more practical than the deeper Gurgaon sectors.

The EDGE-certified green building plan includes rainwater harvesting and roof gardens. The furnished 4 BHK tower deserves a special mention for NRIs, because it solves the problem of supervising fit-outs from abroad. Every home here is large, starting at 2,280 sq.ft, and the developer has ready projects nearby that you can visit before you decide anything.

The amenities cover what you would expect at this level. There is a clubhouse, swimming pool, gymnasium, jogging track and park, along with 24x7 security with CCTV, fire fighting, power backup and water storage. Housekeeping and maintenance staff, lifts and car parking are included too. The project material also talks about a rooftop deck and garden, a running path and banquet facilities for when you want to host.

On specifications, the highlights mention air-conditioned homes, marble flooring, modern kitchens and generous balconies, as well as biometric security. As with any launch, ask for the detailed specification sheet so you know exactly what comes with the standard units and what comes with the furnished tower.

There are three layouts to choose from: a 3 BHK of 2,280 sq.ft, a 3 BHK + Study + Utility of 2,440 sq.ft, and a 4 BHK of 3,380 sq.ft. That puts the range at 2,280 to 3,380 sq.ft, with prices starting around ₹4.18 Cr. Prices move, so please check the current sheet. Keep in mind that these sizes are quoted as super area, so ask for the carpet area of each layout if you want a fair comparison with other projects.

Diplomatic Residences makes the most sense for families who want a large home close to Delhi and who value a builder they can check up on. If you are abroad and dreading the interiors process, the furnished tower is a genuinely useful option, but get a written list of exactly what is included before you pay for it. One thing to weigh is that the layout is fairly dense for the land size, so look closely at tower spacing and the open areas on the site plan. And do the simple thing that many buyers skip, which is to visit Puri's finished projects and talk to the people living there.

Puri is one of the developers on this corridor you can judge by what is already standing. Emerald Bay in Sector 104 is ready, with 2 and 3 BHK homes of 1,550 to 2,450 sq.ft. Diplomatic Greens in Sector 110 is also ready, a 20-acre project with 3, 4 and 5 BHK homes. Walking through either one will tell you more about finishing, upkeep and how the builder treats residents than any sample flat.
