In a stunning affirmation of India’s booming luxury real estate sector, Trump Residences Gurugram—a joint venture between Tribeca Developers and the Trump Organization—has sold out its second phase, raking in a jaw-dropping ₹3,250 crore in sales. With just 250 ultra-luxury apartments, the project has not only drawn India’s richest elites but has also positioned Gurugram firmly on the global map of branded residences.
This sellout isn’t just a real estate win—it’s a cultural moment for India’s evolving aspirational class.

From Brick to Brand: Why This Project Struck Gold
Nestled in Sector 65 on Golf Course Extension Road, the project is more than just a high-rise. It’s an embodiment of lifestyle, status, and exclusivity. Each residence in the Trump project promises global-grade architecture, private elevators, five-star hospitality-style services, and bespoke interiors.
What makes this sale particularly extraordinary is not just the ticket size—starting from crores—but the fact that every single unit found a buyer in an uncertain global economy. While much of the world debates interest rates and inflation, India’s affluent class is placing bold bets on branded homes with global cachet.
The Brand That Still Commands Premium
Despite global political controversy, the Trump brand continues to hold unmistakable aspirational value in India. From the glossy towers of Mumbai to the skyline of Pune and now Gurugram, the Trump name remains synonymous with luxury, grandeur, and a global lifestyle.
India is now officially the largest international market for the Trump Organization outside the U.S.—a fact that underscores the brand’s deep cultural resonance here. As Kalpesh Mehta, founder of Tribeca Developers, aptly put it in a previous interview:
“The Indian buyer is not just investing in square feet. They’re investing in a lifestyle and a legacy.”
Branded Residences: A Quiet Revolution in Indian Real Estate
The idea of a “branded residence” might still be novel to many, but in India’s top metros and emerging luxury corridors, it’s rapidly becoming the gold standard. Branded residences are premium homes developed in collaboration with globally recognized luxury or hospitality brands—be it Trump, Armani, Versace, Four Seasons, or Ritz-Carlton.
These homes promise more than architectural beauty—they deliver prestige, community, consistent service levels, and resale value. And that’s precisely why India’s UHNWIs are flocking to them.
A Knight Frank report noted that in 2023 alone, the sale of luxury homes in India grew by 151% year-on-year. Gurugram, Mumbai, and Bengaluru are at the forefront, and the Trump Residences’ ₹3,250 crore success underscores how branding is the new benchmark for trust and quality in high-end real estate.
Post-COVID Psychology: Why Rich Indians Are Buying Bigger and Bolder
India’s luxury property boom has a psychological root as much as a financial one. The pandemic has transformed the way Indians think about homes—not just as assets, but as wellness sanctuaries, social statements, and generational legacies.
Today’s wealthy Indian wants:
-
Expansive layouts with private terraces and home offices
-
Five-star amenities like spa lounges, indoor pools, and Michelin-grade kitchens
-
Access to a global lifestyle while remaining rooted in India
Trump Residences ticks all those boxes. The second phase was marketed not just as a luxury product but as an “experience of curated exclusivity.”
Gurugram: The Beating Heart of India’s Luxury Property Game
Once a satellite town, Gurugram has emerged as one of India’s most influential luxury real estate markets. Its meteoric rise has been powered by proximity to Delhi, strong infrastructure, a cosmopolitan demographic, and an influx of Fortune 500 companies.
Golf Course Extension Road in particular—home to the Trump project—is now widely considered India’s answer to Beverly Hills. Premium schools, international healthcare, fine dining, and access to Delhi airport make it a magnet for business tycoons, startup founders, and NRI investors.
According to ANAROCK data, the demand for homes priced above ₹4 crore in Gurugram grew nearly 3X between 2021 and 2024.

Tribeca and Trump: A Partnership That Pays Off
Tribeca Developers has carved a niche in India by aligning with global real estate brands and delivering not just homes, but statements. Their partnership with the Trump Organization is one of the most successful luxury real estate collaborations in the country.
Crucially, Tribeca didn’t merely “import” a foreign brand. They adapted it. The Trump Residences in India combine American luxury values with Indian cultural nuances—larger kitchens, pooja rooms, vastu compliance—all while offering a distinctly international ambiance.
