When you buy off-plan, you’re really buying a developer’s promise. So it’s fair to ask what L&T Realty has done with its promises before. Here’s a balanced look, including the parts brochures leave out.
Who L&T Realty is
L&T Realty is the real estate arm of Larsen & Toubro, one of India’s largest engineering and construction groups. Its parent’s construction pedigree is the main reason buyers trust the brand. L&T was even one of the contractors on the Dwarka Expressway, the road that serves Sector 86.
The numbers it reports
According to L&T’s 2025 annual review, the realty business has:
- about 8.5 million sq. ft. of residential space delivered
- 10,000+ families living in its homes
- a total portfolio of about 75 million sq. ft.
- 120+ awards
These are the company’s own figures, so read them as such.
Projects worth knowing
- Crescent Bay, Parel (Mumbai). L&T’s flagship Mumbai high-rise. By 2021, more than 1,000 families were living there, and it won a CREDAI-MCHI award as high-rise project of the year.
- Emerald Isle, Powai (Mumbai). Phase I has been handed over to its residents.
- Raintree Boulevard, Hebbal (Bengaluru). A 65-acre mixed-use township, with Phase 1 homes built and Phase 2 under way.
- Seawoods Residences, Navi Mumbai. Launched in 2019 and reported sold out within a month.
The other side of the record
No large developer has a spotless record, and L&T is no exception:
- In 2024, MahaRERA ordered L&T Realty to refund two Crescent Bay buyers who had withdrawn over a possession delay, allowing only a 2% deduction.
- Reports in 2026 say Crescent Bay residents took complaints about leakage and fire-safety issues to MahaRERA, which directed L&T to address them.
- Raintree Boulevard has faced complaints before Karnataka RERA about plan changes, carpet area, amenities and possession timing. Some have been disposed of; others went further.
To keep it in proportion: complaints are normal for projects of this size, and not every complaint ends in a finding against the developer. But they tell you which questions to ask.
What this means for Aravista
Aravista is L&T’s first residential project in Gurugram, so there’s no local track record to visit yet. Based on its history elsewhere, we’d ask:
- What possession date will be stated in the RERA registration, and what grace period?
- What’s the specification list, in writing, for the bathrooms, kitchen, windows and waterproofing?
- How are fire-safety systems certified and handed over?
- Who runs maintenance after possession, and when does it pass to the residents?
Our RERA update covers where the registration stands right now.
