Now it is recognized as one of the most important business hubs of North India. To capitalize on the foreign investment and new business opportunities, numerous tall structures were built around the city to accommodate the rapid growth. Surrounding villages were absorbed into Gurgaon as the city rapidly expanded outwards.
The tallest highrise office and residential buildings are mostly located in the north western areas of the city, and especially in the business and shopping districts of MG Road, DLF City, and Ashok Marg.
Thousands of professionals have recently made their home in Gurgaon, living in apartments or in newly constructed colonies and condominiums. The mushrooming shopping malls of Gurgaon, like the Ambience Mall, Gurgaon Central, DLF City Centre, DLF Grand Mall, DLF Mega Mall, Sahara Mall, MGF Metropolitan Mall, MGF Mega City, DLF Star Mall, Gold Souk, are also indicative of the recognition by retailers of the far-reaching aspirations, and deep pockets, of the residents of the city.
