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.
Residents of the new luxury project in Gurgaon’s Sector 106 enjoy views overlooking the landscaped grounds, with every apartment unit within the 18 residential towers facing the central green. Continuing the movement motif, the terraces are envisioned as highlands, while reflection pools are marked as the plains, and cascading pools and elaborate caves carve the valleys. The towers include 47,000 square meters of podium space, in addition to a six-story clubhouse centrally located within the podium under a dynamic shell structure.
With proximity to Delhi and a short drive from IGI Airport, Elan the Presidential offers the benefits of an urban setting with the tranquility of private gardens. Collections of gardens are dedicated to entertaining a variety of users: a space for quiet reading, one tailored to senior citizen residents, or a garden that delights users with an aromatic species palette, to name a few. A one-kilometer multi-modal track traverses through the central landscape, passing through a series of garden spaces, an outdoor gym, a Jurassic Park, resort-style pools, a kids’ water park, a playground, event lawns, an amphitheater, and many more. The curated landscape design and extensive waterways complement the development’s futuristic architecture, reinforcing Elan the Presidential’s commitment to excellence.
