In yet another rare bungalow transaction in Delhi's prestigious Golf Links, Ritesh Malik, founder of Innov8, purchased a 575 sq yd freehold bungalow for ₹85 crore. The transaction was facilitated by India Sotheby's International Realty.
India Sotheby's International Realty has confirmed it has an exclusive mandate for this asset and has successfully concluded the transaction. “We’re delighted to conclude yet another transaction in Golf Links and with such a dynamic entrepreneur, Ritesh Malik,” it said.
The buyer and the seller could not be reached for a comment
Sources said the new owner plans to demolish the existing structure, which is in a dilapidated condition, and redevelop the site into a 6,000-7,000 sq ft residence comprising a ground floor, first floor and a barsati, subject to applicable regulations.
Property experts said the biggest draw of Golf Links is the scarcity of freehold properties. "The rarest asset in Golf Links and the Lutyens' zone isn't just land, it's a freehold title. With only around 212 properties in Golf Links and just one or two homes typically available for sale at any point, prices are driven by intense competition among buyers rather than sellers," they said.
According to market experts, demand for bungalows in Lutyens' Delhi continues to outstrip supply. Many long-time owners are monetising their properties during their lifetime, while affluent entrepreneurs, industrialists and professionals continue to compete for the limited inventory.
