Emaar unveils Elara, a 35-floor 3BHK tower in Lucknow's Gomti Nagar Extension

Emaar India has launched Elara, a premium group housing project in Sector 7 of Gomti Nagar Extension, Lucknow, the company announced on 30 October 2026. The project is a 35-storey (G+35) residential tower of 3BHK homes built alongside the Emaar Gomti Greens development. The company said the project has 194 units, with prices starting at ₹2.15 crore.

Elara is Emaar India's second premium high-rise in Lucknow. The first, Elite Oasis, was launched in June 2025 in the same township. Emaar India's chief executive, Kalyan Chakrabarti, said the tower is "built to make a grand statement on Lucknow's skyline, and it reflects how the city itself is changing."

Layout and specifications

Elara offers 3BHK residences in three configurations. The project was designed by Ideate Design Studio. Buyers should check the carpet area of each configuration in the sales documents before comparing prices.

The company said the project has an IGBC Pre-certified Gold rating and includes provisions for electric vehicle charging. The club and lifestyle amenities are at podium level around a dedicated clubhouse. They include:

• A wellness and yoga lawn
• An infinity pool overlooking the Gomti River
• A children's swimming pool
• A banquet lawn

Construction is under way. The company has committed to completing the project by September 2031.

Location and access

Sector 7 lies near Shaheed Path and NH-27, with direct road access to Lucknow airport. The project is close to Ekana Stadium and the banks of the Gomti River. The distances from Elara to nearby landmarks are: Phoenix Palassio about 1.3 km, Kalyan Singh Super Speciality Cancer Institute 6.1 km, Lulu Mall 6 km, Medanta Hospital 6.8 km and Max Super Speciality Hospital 8.3 km.

The nearest station on the Lucknow Metro Red Line is Bhootnath Market, which runs on the Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport to Munshi Pulia corridor. Indira Nagar and Lekhraj Market stations are also nearby. A proposed East-West Metro corridor would bring stations closer to Gomti Nagar's residential khands, but no opening date has been announced.

The Uttar Pradesh government has approved the Lucknow Link Expressway, a six-lane greenfield road costing ₹4,776 crore. The 51 km road will connect the Agra-Lucknow Expressway with the Purvanchal Expressway.

What it means for buyers

Elara's starting price of ₹2.15 crore is below the ₹2.75 crore to ₹4.15 crore range Emaar India quoted for Elite Oasis, which the company said had a total investment of ₹400 crore. The two projects differ in size and specifications, so buyers should compare carpet area and what is included in the price, not the starting figure alone.

Chakrabarti said Lucknow is attracting professionals and business families, helped by stronger expressway and air connectivity. A locality guide counts more than 1,000 properties for sale and 300 for rent in Gomti Nagar Extension. These are listing counts, not records of completed sales.

Emaar India, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Gurugram, is promoted by Emaar Properties PJSC of Dubai. The company is also building projects in Delhi-NCR, Mohali, Indore and Jaipur.

Buyers considering Elara should check the project's registration under the Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) on the official UP RERA portal before booking. Construction timelines and the September 2031 completion date are set out in the company's commitments and can be tracked through RERA filings.
