In the ever-evolving skyline of Gurugram, a new contender is steadily making its way into the spotlight—Southern Peripheral Road (SPR). This 16-kilometre arterial stretch is now seen by developers, investors, and homebuyers alike as the next big chapter in Delhi-NCR’s real estate growth story. Once a sleepy connector road, SPR is now poised to rival Cyber City in both commercial buzz and residential appeal.
But is SPR truly the future of Gurugram? And more importantly, should you consider parking your money here? Let’s explore what makes SPR more than just another pin on the property map.
SPR links the Gurgaon-Faridabad Road to NH-48 and intersects several key arterial roads like Golf Course Extension Road and Sohna Road. This translates into smoother traffic flow and reduced commute times—two factors driving residential demand in the region. Whether it’s reaching Cyber Hub in under 25 minutes or accessing the IGI Airport via NH-48 in under 40, SPR offers the kind of accessibility that modern urban dwellers crave.
The proposed extension of the Rapid Metro along SPR will further solidify its position as a high-potential corridor. With better last-mile connectivity, commuting to workplaces and recreational hotspots is set to become easier and faster.
Behind the scenes, Gurugram’s civic agencies have been pumping resources into SPR’s transformation. The road is being expanded into a six-lane expressway. Multiple underpasses are either completed or under construction, which will ease choke points and improve overall traffic circulation.
What’s more, robust infrastructure developments aren’t limited to the road itself. Modern amenities like premium schools, multi-specialty hospitals, malls, and co-working spaces are mushrooming across sectors 69 to 80—contributing to the area’s liveability index.
Between 2020 and 2024, approximately 14,224 housing units were launched along SPR, with 10,101 already absorbed—a strong indicator of demand resilience. The pace hasn’t slowed in 2025 either, with over 500 new units launched in Q1 alone.
The region now boasts a healthy inventory mix, including mid-segment housing, premium apartments, and upcoming luxury projects. From independent floors to gated communities with integrated facilities, SPR is drawing attention from upper-middle-income families and first-time buyers.
With 23 ongoing projects expected to add 11,900 units between 2024 and 2029, housing supply is keeping pace with demand—ensuring a competitive and healthy real estate environment.
In 2020, the weighted average price of properties on SPR stood at ₹7,693 per sq ft. By the end of 2024, it had more than doubled to ₹17,123 per sq ft. That’s a staggering 122% increase in just four years—outpacing several other micro-markets in Gurugram.
This sharp appreciation reflects both the growing demand and the area’s evolution into a commercial and residential hub. For long-term investors, these trends offer a compelling reason to consider SPR as a high-yield investment destination.
What truly sets SPR apart from other emerging corridors is its dual identity—it’s not just a residential enclave but also a budding commercial hotspot. Offices of TCS, American Express, and Air India’s training centre already dot the landscape, with 18 commercial projects in the pipeline.
Noteworthy developments include Skyview Corporate Park, Bestech Business Tower, and Pioneer Square. These spaces are drawing both startups and multinational corporations. Add to that the upcoming DLF Mall of India—slated to be the largest retail space in the country—and the commercial narrative becomes even more compelling.
SPR’s buyer profile is diverse. Young professionals looking for modern, affordable homes with strong connectivity are flocking here. Upper-middle-income families are drawn to the area's quieter, less congested environment compared to central Gurugram. And seasoned investors are eyeing long-term gains from both residential and commercial properties.
Notably, big names in real estate—like DLF,are betting big on SPR. Projects like DLF Privana South are testament to this belief.
What makes SPR unique is its ability to offer immediate lifestyle advantages while holding long-term investment potential. It’s not just about future promises—it’s about livability today. Families can move into modern housing communities with access to international schools, medical centres, and daily conveniences.
Meanwhile, investors can enjoy rental yields with the added benefit of capital appreciation over time. With Gurugram continuing to grow as an employment hub, demand for quality housing near office zones is unlikely to diminish anytime soon.
At DLF, we’ve always believed in identifying tomorrow’s opportunities today—and Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) exemplifies that vision. With world-class infrastructure, multi-nodal connectivity, thriving commercial developments, and evolving residential zones, SPR is not just emerging—it’s asserting itself as Gurugram’s next economic and lifestyle powerhouse.
While Cyber City remains an iconic address, SPR is fast becoming its natural successor. The region is no longer a speculative market; it is a proven corridor of growth, where urban conveniences meet long-term investment value. Our planned luxury developments along SPR, including in Sector 71 and the DLF 6 integrated township, are a testament to this confidence.
For forward-looking homeowners, discerning investors, and ambitious businesses alike, SPR represents the future of Gurugram—well-connected, well-planned, and well-invested. The question is no longer if SPR will lead Gurugram’s next wave of development. It already is.
