Fact Check
There are more than 3 mega commercial projects in sector-70, Gurugram such as Tapasya 70 Grandwalk, Spaze Forum, Reach 3 Roads, etc. And the Tapasya-70 Grandwalk & Spaze Forum is nearing the possession. Actually, the commercial projects which will give possession first in sector-70 Gurgaon may give the best returns.

If construction/possession of the Elan Epic is completed before the Tapasya 70 Grandwalk, Spaze Forum, Reach 3 Roads than this commercial project will give excellent returns to investors. Because at present there is no ready to move mega Mall/commercial project in the sector 70 Gurgaon to cater to business, shopping and entertainment needs for the residents of the sector-70 Gurgaon. But to see the present construction situation, it hardly possible.

These days Developer of Elan Epic, offering several attractive schemes to customers to invest in this property, like the 12% assured return, lease guaranty, and other greedy payment plans.

That builder/project who offers this kind of investment offers is not in the category of secure investment, as our experience most assured return properties are the investment of loss.

Do not put your hard-earned money in the builder’s seduction, assured return & lease guaranty properties are always an investment of risk. So invest carefully.

Basically, the assured return & lease guaranty is nothing, the real estate developers sell their low money property at a very higher price and return your hard earned money in the name of the assured return & monthly rent to you in the form of EMI. Actually, they are making you fool.

The construction and possession of this project depend on the sale of shops/space so the project may be delay.

Advice
The Elan Epic is probably not the right choice of investment for those who are looking for ROI in the next year or so. There may not be a real appreciation of value for resale in a year.

If anyone wants to invest in this location of sector-70 Gurugram commercial projects, prefer advance stage construction projects or ready to move projects. We strongly advise avoiding soft launch/pre-launch/new launch/primary stage under construction commercial projects of sector-70 Gurugram completely. 

Investment Tips 
 Before investing in commercial real estate, it is better to decide why you are investing. 
Actually, there are two types of investors, the first one who buys retail shops or office space for self-use and the second one who bought it for pure rental income and sell when getting some appreciation. 

So if you are buying it for your self-use, you can buy any size according to your uses, but if you are buying it for pure rental or appreciation income, then go for virtual space or buy at least minimum 1000 sq ft carpet area, because if you buy a small shop or office space for rental income you hardly get any brand to lesae out your space. 

The brands or multinational companies want the bigger space for their operations. And there are several must require things such as dedicated bigger parking spaces, negotiations in CAM charges, specific signage, dedicated power backup, bigger space in a single floor plate, and several must require NOCs, which are very difficult to arrange by a small or individual investor. 

So that, before investing in any commercial project, talk to the developer, that you won't buy it for self-use, but for pure rental income, and handover/responsible it for the developer to lease out.

Otherwise, you won't get your expected appreciation or may get delayed appreciation or loss.
