If you have been watching the Gurugram real estate market, you already know that Dwarka Expressway has been on fire for the last few years.
The price of property is skyrocketing. New projects keep coming, and buyers are lining up. However, since its launch in 2019, one project has been quietly distinguishing itself from the rest. That project is Krisumi City.
Now, Krisumi Corporation, which is a joint venture between Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation and India’s Krishna Group, has just made a big move.
The company has officially launched Phase 5 and Phase 6 of its flagship township project, named ‘The Forest Reserve,’ and has announced plans to pour in an additional ₹4,500 crore over the next six to seven years.
This is not just another real estate announcement. It is a story of Indo-Japanese trust, premium living, and one of the most ambitious urban development’s ever seen in Gurgaon.
What Is Krisumi City? A Quick Overview for New Buyers
Krisumi City is a premium residential development in Sector 36A, along the Dwarka Expressway. It is spread across 33.5 acres of prime land, flanked by 220 acres of green zones.
The total master plan includes 2,772 units across multiple phases, and the full development is expected to span 65 acres once completed.
The name ‘Krisumi’ comes from two words: ‘Kriya’ in Sanskrit, meaning ‘to create,’ and ‘Sumi’ in Japanese, meaning ‘fine living.’ That combination tells you everything about what this project stands for: Indian warmth blended with Japanese precision.
Over the past four years, the company launched four phases under the name ‘Waterfall Residences,’ delivering around 1,800 units and generating roughly ₹4,000 crore in sales. These earlier phases sold out strong. And now, the next chapter begins.
The New Launch: ‘The Forest Reserve’ – Phase 5 and Phase 6
Now, Krisumi is launching new phases, Phase 5 and Phase 6, and they are being marketed under a fresh, nature-inspired brand called ‘The Forest Reserve.’ This is not just a name change. It reflects a completely new design philosophy.
The concept behind The Forest Reserve is drawn from ‘Chinju-no-mori,’ a Japanese idea that refers to sacred shrine forests, green spaces that are protected, peaceful, and meant to connect people with nature.
In an urban city like Gurugram, this concept translates into a green oasis: low-density housing, heavy tree cover, open spaces, and a sense of calm in the middle of a busy metropolis.
Project Details
- Total Area: Approximately 1.67 million square feet
- Total Units: 550 apartments across 4 towers
- Apartment Sizes: 3 LDK (approx. 3,000 sq ft) and 4 LDK (approx. 4,000 sq ft)
- Exclusive Penthouses: 4 penthouses per tower
- Expected Revenue: Around ₹4,000 crore from these two phases alone
- Total Planned Investment: ₹4,500 crore over 6–7 years
These are large, ultra-luxury apartments meant for buyers who want space, quality, and an experience not just four walls and a roof.

The Sumitomo Backing: Why It Matters
Let’s talk about the money and the muscle behind this project.
Sumitomo Corporation is one of Japan’s largest and most respected global conglomerates, with businesses in infrastructure, media, real estate, energy, and technology.
Its Indian arm alone reported revenue of ₹407 crore in FY25. When a company like Sumitomo puts money into Indian real estate, it is not just a business deal; it is a statement of confidence in the Indian market.
The other partner is Krishna Group; it is an established Indian industrial house with expertise in automotive parts and hospitality. They bring the local knowledge, land relationships, regulatory understanding, and execution muscle that a foreign partner needs to operate successfully in India.
Together, this 50:50 joint venture has created something rare in Indian real estate, a project where Japanese construction quality, Japanese design philosophy, and Japanese attention to detail are actually delivered on the ground. In a market where many projects miss deadlines and cut corners on quality, that is a huge differentiator.
Property Prices on Dwarka Expressway: The Numbers That Tell the Story
If you want to understand why this investment makes sense, look at the price appreciation on Dwarka Expressway over the last five years.
When Krisumi first launched in 2019, the asking price was around ₹8,500 per square foot. Today, Krisumi City commands roughly ₹24,000 per square foot, an appreciation of over 180% in a few years.
The broader Dwarka Expressway market has seen property values rise up to 3.5 times in five years, with rates in the range of ₹21,700 to ₹24,000 per sq ft by 2025.
For Krisumi Waterfall Residences specifically, prices moved from ₹18,750/sq ft to ₹19,400/sq ft just within 2025, showing consistent growth quarter on quarter.
Analysts expect the corridor to see another 15–25% price growth between 2025 and 2027. This appreciation will be driven by ongoing infrastructure upgrades, proximity to the upcoming Global City business hub, and improving connectivity between Gurugram and Delhi.
Why Sector 36A on Dwarka Expressway Is Special?
Location is everything in real estate and Sector 36A punches well above its weight. Here is what makes this location stand out:
- Direct access to Dwarka Expressway
- Well-connected to Central Peripheral Road (CPR)
- 3 minutes from National Highway 8 (NH-48)
- Close to Indira Gandhi International Airport
- Adjacent to Global City Gurgaon
- Surrounded by 220 acres of green zone and a 50-metre green belt
- Reputable schools, hospitals, and shopping centers in the vicinity
- Proposed metro station nearby
If you are looking for investment in Gurgaon, then Dwarka Expressway is a perfect address for you. In upcoming years this region is going to be an iconic landmark in India; if you miss this opportunity, you will regret it.
As per the real estate expert, Dwarka Expressway will see steady growth of 8%–15% annually in the coming years, driven by infrastructure, metro connectivity, and rising demand for premium housing.
Japanese Design Meets Indian Living: The Krisumi Difference
One thing that separates Krisumi from other luxury projects in Gurugram is the design team behind it. The architecture is handled by Nikken Sekkei, one of Japan’s most respected architectural firms it was the same team behind the iconic Tokyo Skytree.
The interior design is done by Aoyama Nomura Design (A.N.D.), another Japanese firm known for its minimalist, wellness-focused approach.
What does this mean practically for a buyer? It means:
- Floor-to-ceiling windows that flood every room with natural light
- Engineered wooden flooring in bedrooms and premium marble in common areas
- VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) ducted air conditioning systems
- Fully modular kitchens with premium fittings
- Earthquake-resistant structure built to Japanese safety standards
- Multi-level cascaded clubhouse with restaurant, bar, theatre, gym, and spa
Interestingly, Krisumi has also found strong favour with the Japanese expat community in Gurugram. In the first phase alone, 28 out of 112 apartments were leased to Japanese nationals. That kind of international appeal is rare for an Indian residential project.
What This Means for Gurugram’s Real Estate Market?
A ₹4,500 crore investment in a single township is not a small number. It signals strong confidence in the long-term growth story of Gurugram and the Dwarka Expressway corridor specifically.
Gurugram is evolving rapidly. The opening of the Dwarka Expressway, the development of Global City, the Metro extension, and the improvement of peripheral roads have all combined to make areas like Sector 36A far more accessible and desirable than they were five years ago. Developers who understood this early like Krisumi are now reaping the rewards.
The luxury housing market of India is driven by high-net-worth individuals, NRIs, and expats who are looking for quality, not just square footage. Krisumi is squarely positioned in this space, and the new phases give it continued runway for growth.
