Rakesh Kapoor, Chairman of Elan Group, said: “With this iconic development, we are shaping a new chapter in ultra-luxury living. Partnering with Leighton Asia once again reinforces our commitment to collaborate with the finest global expertise in delivering excellence at every level.”

Brad Davey, Managing Director of Leighton Asia, noted: “With over two decades of experience in India, Leighton Asia takes pride in setting benchmarks for quality and sustainability in large-scale residential developments. We are honoured to undertake this prestigious project.”

Juan Santamaria, Executive Chairman of CIMIC Group, added: “Securing further work for the Elan Group highlights Leighton Asia’s dedication to safety and operational excellence. We are proud to deliver another premium residential asset for India’s fast-growing urban population.”

This partnership further strengthens Elan Group’s position in the luxury residential segment and underscores the growing investor confidence in Gurugram’s Dwarka Expressway corridor.
