Godrej Samaris vs DLF Camellias: Which Golf Course Road Address to Buy in 2026

This is the comparison in one view. All figures are indicative as of 2026 and based on RERA filings and public listing data; verify against current sources before any purchase decision.

Godrej Samaris is a new-launch ultra-luxury residential project by Godrej Properties on Golf Course Road, Sector 53, directly opposite the DLF Golf Course. It is registered under Haryana RERA number RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/1059/791/2026/31.

The verified project details:

• Spread across approximately 7.4 to 7.5 acres of one of the last sizeable land parcels on Golf Course Road proper.
• Five high-rise towers planned, rising to G+36 floors, with around 488 residences in total. Phase 1 launches the first two towers.
• Configurations are 3 and 4 BHK ultra-luxury apartments with sizes broadly from 3,000 to 4,800 sq ft; penthouses extend higher.
• Approximately 4.5 acres of the site are dedicated to landscaped greens and amenities, supporting low-density living.
• Indicative starting price approximately ₹10.5 Cr onwards, with the final figure varying by tower, floor and unit size.
• Scheduled possession in August 2033.

A practical note: several third-party listing pages circulating online carry incorrect facts about Samaris, including wrong city references, wrong acreage and wrong unit counts. The figures above are the verified ones. For any specific quotation, the source of truth is the RERA filing at the Haryana RERA portal.

DLF Camellias is a fully built ultra-luxury residential project by DLF, completed in the mid-2010s on Sector 42, Golf Course Road. It is the youngest member of the DLF luxury trilogy (alongside Aralias and Magnolias) and is regarded as the benchmark for Indian ultra-luxury housing.

Key project details:

• Spread across approximately 19 acres, with around 429 residences across 9 towers, giving ultra-low density.
• Configurations are 4, 5 and 6 BHK apartments and penthouses, with unit sizes from roughly 7,200 to 16,500 sq ft.
• India’s first residential project to earn LEED Platinum sustainability certification.
• Status: fully sold and handed over; every transaction today is resale, not developer inventory.
• Indicative 2026 resale prices: a 4 BHK from roughly ₹65 Cr, larger units ₹75 Cr to over ₹100 Cr, with record penthouse transactions far higher; rate broadly ₹85,000 to over ₹1,00,000 per sq ft.

This is the most consequential comparison between the two projects, and the gap is wide.

Camellias resale entry starts at roughly ₹65 Cr for the smallest 4 BHK and runs into the hundreds of crores for larger units. Because the project is sold out, you transact at the prevailing resale market price, paid up front (subject to typical transaction structuring). There is no developer payment plan; the seller is an individual owner and the price is demand-driven.

Samaris entry starts at approximately ₹10.5 Cr and varies by tower, floor and configuration. As a new-launch under-construction project, it follows a staged builder payment plan, which spreads the outlay across the construction timeline rather than a single very large transfer.

In simple terms: Camellias is a roughly six-times-higher entry on the per-unit price, and the entire amount is due at transaction. Samaris lets you enter the same corridor at a small fraction of that figure and pay across years. For most buyers, this is the practical difference that decides between the two.

Beyond price, the asset type differs in important ways. Each has genuine strengths and trade-offs.

Camellias: the established asset

You buy a known, fully built tower with a decade of price history, an established ownership community, immediate possession and no construction risk. The trade-off: it is now an older building, many units were handed over as bare shells and need substantial fit-out, and the entry point is the highest in Indian residential real estate. Liquidity is real but thin; selling a Camellias unit can take time.

Samaris: the new construction

You buy a brand-new asset with modern specification, contemporary layouts, fresh amenities, a builder warranty, and a staged payment plan. The trade-off: it is under construction with possession in 2033, so you take on the standard under-construction considerations, including verifying RERA registration (already done for Samaris), the developer’s track record (Godrej Properties is a major listed developer with a long delivery record), and the time horizon before you can move in or rent the unit.

Neither is universally better. It depends on whether your priority is immediate trophy ownership or a fresh asset on the same corridor at a more accessible entry.

Both projects are buys on the same corridor, which has structurally delivered roughly double-digit annual appreciation over the past several years. The mechanics within each project differ.

Camellias has delivered close to fourfold appreciation from its launch rate, with widely reported transactions in the ₹190 Cr range marking its ceiling. The steepest, fastest growth phase may now be maturing; what increasingly anchors value is scarcity and trophy status rather than rapid further multiples. It is bought as a long-hold capital-preservation asset; gross rental yields are modest (typically below the corridor average of around 2.5 to 3.5 percent gross) because capital values are so high.

Samaris has the appreciation runway typical of an under-construction GCR asset: construction-period gains, completion uplift, and corridor-level long-term growth thereafter. On the rental side, once handed over, a newer building typically commands a rental premium and lower maintenance drag than ageing towers, lifting the net yield. The full corridor rental picture is in our Golf Course Road rental yield deep dive.

The simple framing: Camellias is the high-base, scarcity-anchored, ultra-luxury hold. Samaris is the lower-base, new-asset entry to the same corridor with a longer appreciation runway and stronger net rental economics.

Choose DLF Camellias if you are...

• An ultra-HNI buyer for whom the entry price is comfortable, and you specifically want the trophy address.
• Buying primarily for prestige and ultra-long-term capital preservation, not appreciation pace or rental yield.
• Looking for immediate possession and a fully built, occupied community.
• Comfortable paying the full resale figure up front and budgeting separately for fit-out and ongoing ultra-luxury maintenance.

Choose Godrej Samaris if you are...

• Buying on Golf Course Road at a starting price that is roughly a sixth of Camellias resale entry.
• A buyer who prefers a brand-new asset over an older resale unit, with modern specification and a builder warranty.
• Comfortable with a staged builder payment plan and an under-construction timeline to 2033.
• Building a long-hold appreciation plus rental position, where a newer building lifts net rental returns.
