Why demand for 1 BHK flats in GIFT City is growing?
The simple answer is jobs. GIFT City's Group CEO, Sanjay Kaul, said at the World Economic Forum in January 2026 that about 27,000 people work in GIFT City today, with a target of 1 lakh by 2030.
The number of businesses continues to grow as well. Finance Ministry figures reported in August 2026 show IFSCA had granted 1,193 registrations by 31 March 2026, up from 110 in March 2021, with 652 entities actively operating. New employers are also establishing their presence in the area. In June 2026, Hexaware opened a 400-seat TechFin centre in GIFT City and said it aims to grow to 1,000 employees over the next three years.
Office space is in demand as well. A Whalesbook report from 21 October 2026 said commercial office occupancy is close to 100%, with about 3 million sq ft of new office space planned by March. The same report noted that
land has been earmarked for schools, hotels and serviced apartments by FY 2027.
A common question we get from professionals relocating for work is whether a compact home near the office makes more sense than a larger flat further away. For many, especially those living alone or as a couple, it does.
Studio vs 1 BHK vs 2 BHK: which size suits you
A studio combines the living room, bedroom and kitchen into one shared living space. A 1 BHK has a separate bedroom, a hall and a kitchen. A 2 BHK adds a second bedroom, which can work as a guest room or home office.
The table below uses the sizes and prices for Siban, the one GIFT City project on vitalspace.in that offers all three, to show how the steps compare.
Size | Super built-up area | Price | Best for |
Studio | 625 to 680 sq ft | ₹59.38 lakh to ₹64.60 lakh | Single professionals, lowest entry budget |
1 BHK | 865 to 1,030 sq ft | ₹82.17 lakh to ₹97.85 lakh | Couples and buyers wanting a separate bedroom |
2 BHK | 1,095 to 1,485 sq ft | ₹1.04 Cr to ₹1.41 Cr | Small families or work-from-home needs |
Super built-up area vs carpet area
Super built-up area includes your share of the lobby, lifts, staircases and amenities. RERA carpet area is the usable space inside your walls. A 900 sq ft super built-up 1 BHK may have a noticeably smaller carpet area, so always ask for the carpet area of the exact unit before comparing prices.

Buying a 1 BHK for rental income: what to check
Many buyers look at a compact flat in GIFT City as a long-term rental. That can work well, but rent and resale value depend on the specific tower, unit and timing. No one can promise a fixed return, so we recommend planning with realistic numbers and a long horizon.
What to check | Why it matters |
Possession date | Rent starts only after handover, so a 2027 home and a 2031 home suit different plans |
Distance to the office cluster | Tenants value a short commute, so ask for the actual drive or walk time |
RERA carpet area of the unit | Two 1 BHKs with similar super built-up areas can differ in usable space |
Maintenance and running costs | These reduce your net rental income every month |
Parking allotment | Ask whether a parking slot is included and where it is |
Furnishing budget | Many working tenants prefer a furnished or semi-furnished flat |
Penthouse and studio options
A 1 BHK penthouse, such as the one listed at Siban, gives more space and a premium feel while keeping a single bedroom. A studio offers the lowest entry price. Both are less common than a regular 1 BHK, so take time to compare the carpet area and terrace size with the price per sq ft.
