Within Birla Arika, the development is designed to encourage exploration and celebrate activity. In Gurugram’s Sector 31, 30 kilometers southwest of New Delhi, where high-rise towers border a forest preserve, the new residential community spans 13 acres, prioritizing flexible greens and pedestrian corridors, bringing accessible greenery into a densely situated urban setting.
The community, developed by Birla Estates over two phases, with phase one spanning four towers and over 300 residents, is anchored by “The Walk,” a 200-meter promenade through the heart of the development. The landscape links residents to four clubhouses that anchor the site, blooming with specialized amenities such as a resort-style pool, sports courts, an event lawn, and a children’s playground. The clubhouses create distinct environments that encourage residents to explore the variety of entertainment options available to them within Birla Arika.
SWA’s scheme draws on regional species, including neem, banyan, and golden bamboo, to establish distinct zones for recreation and quiet reflection. Elevated pathways connect residential towers to communal areas, while native habitat pockets create continuity among green spaces, restoring ecological function while offering shaded retreats from the surrounding density.

At Elan the Presidential, residents are taken on a journey through the passage of water, cascading through multiple levels within the development before culminating at the central clubhouse and pool. Green spaces complement the water features, bringing nature into the site, with 60% of the development dedicated to open space and outdoor amenities.
