Sector 22D on the Yamuna Expressway has become one of the busiest pre-launch addresses in Delhi-NCR right now — and interestingly, both of the hottest names in this stretch belong to the same developer. Gaursons India, a name with three decades in the region, has launched Gaur Chrysalis and Gaur Alaris almost back-to-back, just a short drive apart.
So if you’re comparing the two, you’re not choosing between two builders — you’re choosing between two products from the same builder, aimed at slightly different buyers. Here’s a clear, side-by-side breakdown to help you decide.
Quick Comparison: Gaur Chrysalis vs Gaur Alaris
| Feature | Gaur Chrysalis | Gaur Alaris |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Sector 22D, Yamuna Expressway | Sector 22D, Yamuna Expressway |
| Land Area | ~12 acres | ~11.8 acres |
| Phase 1 Towers | 7 towers | 8 towers |
| Total Units (Phase 1) | 952 units | Not publicly disclosed yet |
| Configurations | 3 BHK & 4 BHK | 3 BHK & 3 BHK + Study |
| Unit Sizes | 1,910 – 2,495 sq. ft. | ~1,550 – 1,950 sq. ft. |
| Architect | Hafeez Contractor | Not specified in public listings |
| Interior Design | Ochreink (Mumbai) | Not specified |
| Starting Price | ~₹1.5 Cr+ (pre-launch) | ~₹1.32 Cr+ |
| RERA Number | UPRERAPRJ622344/11/2025 | UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026 |
| Codename | Chrysalis | Plume |
| Positioning | Larger, premium family homes | Compact, accessible luxury |
1. Location & Land Parcel
Both projects sit within a stone’s throw of each other in YEIDA’s Sector 22D, along the Yamuna Expressway residential belt. Neither has a real locational edge over the other — the difference lies in how each has planned its land.
- Gaur Chrysalis is spread across about 12 acres and is organised as 7 carefully designed towers in Phase 1, housing 952 apartments, with just four units per floor for added privacy.
- Gaur Alaris occupies roughly 11.8 acres and features 8 residential towers in its Phase 1.
Takeaway: Land size is nearly identical — the real difference is unit density and layout planning, which affects how “open” the project will feel once built.
2. Configurations & Unit Sizes
This is where the two projects really start to separate.
Gaur Chrysalis — Bigger Homes, Higher Ticket Size
- 3 BHK + 3 Toilets — 1,910 sq. ft.
- 4 BHK + 4 Toilets — 2,495 sq. ft.
Gaur Alaris — Compact, Entry-Friendly Luxury
- 3 BHK — ~1,550 sq. ft.
- 3 BHK + Study — ~1,950 sq. ft.
Who should pick what?
- Want a spacious 4 BHK for a joint family or extra room flexibility → Chrysalis
- Want a well-designed 3 BHK at a lower entry price → Alaris
3. Design & Architecture
Gaur Chrysalis currently carries the stronger design pedigree in its marketing:
- Architect: Hafeez Contractor
- Interior Design: Ochreink, a Mumbai-based design firm
- 11 ft ceiling height, ~41 ft entrance lobby height
Gaur Alaris’s promotional material leans more into a “themed living” lifestyle concept under its internal codename Plume, but doesn’t (yet) carry a similarly prominent named architect in public listings.
4. Amenities & Clubhouse
Both projects are competing hard on lifestyle amenities — a near-mandatory feature of any serious Yamuna Expressway launch today.
| Amenity | Gaur Chrysalis | Gaur Alaris |
|---|---|---|
| Clubhouse Size | 75,000 sq. ft. + 25,000 sq. ft. terrace | Comparable size range (varies by listing) |
| Amenity Count | Extensive — wellness zones, spa, meditation corners | 60+ amenities advertised |
| Parking | 2 car parks per apartment | Standard allocation |
| AC | In-apartment air conditioning | Not confirmed in listings |
Takeaway: Both will likely deliver a similar amenity experience on paper. The real test will be execution quality once construction is underway — worth revisiting closer to possession.
5. Pricing Breakdown
Pricing has moved noticeably during the pre-launch cycle for both.
Gaur Chrysalis
Pre-launch price started at ₹7,999 per sq. ft. + other charges, later moving to a launch price of around ₹11,000 per sq. ft. + other charges.
That puts a 3 BHK (1,910 sq. ft.) in roughly the ₹1.5 Cr – ₹2.1 Cr range, before:
- Floor Rise (Avg. PLC): ~₹500/sq. ft.
- View PLC: ~₹200/sq. ft.
- Corner PLC: ~₹100/sq. ft.
- Other charges (parking, club membership, electrical infra, power backup): ~₹15 lakh
Gaur Alaris
3 BHK units start from around ₹1.32 Cr, positioning it as the more accessible entry point between the two projects.
6. RERA Status — Don’t Skip This Step
Both projects do carry RERA numbers, which is a positive sign:
- Gaur Chrysalis: UPRERAPRJ622344/11/2025
- Gaur Alaris: UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026
Still, always independently verify the current registration status on the UP RERA portal before making any payment. Pre-launch campaigns on this corridor move fast, and project names, phases, and even RERA numbers occasionally get revised mid-campaign.
7. Connectivity & Location Advantage
Both projects are riding the same infrastructure story — and for once, it’s not just marketing spin. Noida International Airport at Jewar had its Phase 1 formally inaugurated on 28 March 2026, with commercial flight operations rolling out in phases through 2026. That’s a meaningful shift from most Yamuna Expressway pitches of the past few years, which were selling a purely future promise.
Both Chrysalis and Alaris benefit equally from:
- Proximity to Noida International Airport
- Direct access via the Yamuna Expressway
- YEIDA’s planned Film City, Electronic Cluster, Data Centre Zone, and Toy City
- The upcoming metro corridor
8. A Word of Caution on “Investment Plan” Pitches
Some promotional material circulating around these projects includes EOI-based investment proposals promising fixed appreciation percentages (like “25% in 1 year”) or a guaranteed exit within a set timeframe. This deserves extra scrutiny before you commit funds:
- Under India’s RERA framework, developers and channel partners cannot legally guarantee assured returns on under-construction residential bookings.
- Pre-launch EOI payments — often collected before full RERA approval or before construction begins — carry weaker legal protection than a booking made against a RERA-registered, under-construction unit.
- Treat any “appreciation forecast” as a marketing projection, not a commitment.
Before transferring any EOI or booking amount:
- Verify RERA status directly on the UP RERA website
- Get the booking agreement reviewed independently
- Ask for the payment schedule and refund terms in writing
Final Verdict: Which One Should You Choose?
| If you want… | Go with… |
|---|---|
| A larger 3-4 BHK home with a named architect | Gaur Chrysalis |
| A lower entry price and compact luxury 3 BHK | Gaur Alaris |
| Maximum unit privacy (fewer units per floor) | Gaur Chrysalis |
| A newer, “themed living” lifestyle concept | Gaur Alaris |
At the end of the day, Chrysalis and Alaris aren’t really competitors — they’re two different price points within the same developer’s Sector 22D strategy. Your decision should come down to budget, space needs, and how comfortable you are with the current stage of RERA approval and construction, rather than picking based on marketing alone.
