About Lodha Golf Course Road Gurgaon Lodha's Golf Course Road project in Gurugram is a commercial tower, not a housing project. It sits on a 1.20-acre plot on Golf Course Road, is planned at roughly 2 lakh sq ft of development, and is configured as six basements, ground and 23 floors. The tentative launch rate being circulated is Rs 50,000 per sq ft on a 25:25:25:25 payment plan, and a registration document for it has been filed with Haryana RERA. That last point matters more than the rest. A great deal of what is written about "Lodha Gurgaon" online describes a residential high-end scheme on Golf Course Extension Road — a different corridor and a different project. This page is about the commercial building on Golf Course Road proper.

The floor plate drops in three steps as you go up: Floors Floor plate At Rs 50,000 per sq ft, a whole floor 1st to 5th About 29,000 - 30,000 sq ft Roughly Rs 145 - 150 crore 6th to 11th About 16,000 sq ft Roughly Rs 80 crore 12th to 23rd About 11,000 - 12,000 sq ft Roughly Rs 55 - 60 crore Read practically, that gives the building three quite different products. The lower five floors are large-format space — the kind an anchor occupier, a bank or a showroom-style user takes. The middle band suits a single mid-size company floor. The upper twelve floors are the smallest plates, which is where a building like this usually gets divided into office suites for individual investors. So the first question to ask is not the price. It is what is the smallest unit being sold. If the answer is "a full floor", this is an institutional-ticket asset. If floors are being split into suites of a few thousand square feet, the entry ticket is a fraction of the figures above, and the rental and resale behaviour of the two is not the same. The one number to reconcile before you pay The spec sheet's own figures pull in two directions, and this is worth settling in writing. The plot is 1.20 acres, which is about 52,272 sq ft of land. The stated development size of about 2 lakh sq ft works out to a floor area ratio of roughly 3.8 — an ordinary, believable number for commercial land in Gurugram. But add the floor plates up: five floors at ~29,500, six at ~16,000 and twelve at ~11,500 comes to about 3.81 lakh sq ft, or an FAR near 7.3. That is not a normal sanctioned density. Basis Area Implied FAR on 1.20 acre Stated total development size About 2,00,000 sq ft About 3.8 Floor plates added up, 1st to 23rd About 3,81,500 sq ft About 7.3 The likeliest explanation is mundane: the floor plate figures are gross or super area including cores, lobbies and service space, while the 2 lakh sq ft is the sanctioned or saleable area. Both can be true at once. But it decides what you are actually buying, because Rs 50,000 per sq ft applied to super area and Rs 50,000 applied to carpet are two very different prices — on a commercial floor the loading can run 35% to 45%. Ask for one sheet showing carpet, built-up and super area per floor, with the rate applied against each, and ask which of those the sanctioned building plan carries. This is the same discipline any commercial purchase needs, and it is the question most pre-launch sheets are silent on. Rs 50,000 per sq ft — where that sits Treat the rate as what it says it is: tentative. It is a launch expectation circulated ahead of a formal price list, not a figure Lodha has published, and pre-launch rates move by the time allotment letters are issued. For context, Golf Course Road is the most expensive commercial address in Gurugram outside a handful of Cyber City assets. It is the original eight-lane corridor through Sectors 42 to 56, it is metro-served, and it is effectively built out — new land on it is rare, which is the argument for the rate. A 1.20-acre parcel here is a scarce thing. What that rate implies is a Grade-A, low-floor-plate, address-led asset rather than a volume office play. Judge it against the yield: at Rs 50,000 per sq ft, the rent per sq ft the building needs to command to give you a sensible return is high, so ask what comparable Golf Course Road space actually leases for today before you accept the rate. Our commercial property in Gurgaon guide and the Sector 66 office comparison are useful benchmarks on that. The 25:25:25:25 payment plan Four equal instalments of 25% is a straightforward structure, and on a commercial pre-launch it usually means booking, then three milestones. What the shorthand does not tell you is the part that matters: What triggers each 25%? A date, or a construction milestone? Milestone-linked is better for you, because it ties your money to visible progress. Are the milestones the ones in the RERA filing? Insist they are. A schedule tied to internal targets is not enforceable in the same way. What is on top? GST at the commercial rate, stamp duty and registration, car parking, maintenance deposit and any preferential location charge. On a Rs 50-plus crore ticket these are not rounding. What happens if you exit? The forfeiture terms on a commercial allotment are usually harsher than on a home.
