The short answer
Eldeco Echoes of Eden (EOE) is a premium pre-launch at Sector 22D with a basic sale price of ₹10,999 per sq ft* super area, plus other charges, as on 24 September 2026, VRV AC in every apartment, and a ~10-minute drive to Noida International Airport. Gaur Yamuna City is a large delivered township at a lower per-sq.ft ticket and immediate possession. EOE favours premium spec and airport-proximity appreciation; Gaur Yamuna City favours immediate move-in and township lifestyle at a lower entry price.

Quick answer, at a glance
Eldeco EOE — what you’re buying
Premium boutique high-rise by Eldeco Group (NSE/BSE listed, ~50-year track record). Three 32-storey towers (Haven, Elysian, Caelum) on ~5 acres at Sector 22D, with VRV AC bundled in every apartment — full project profile at Eldeco Echoes of Eden. Current BSP ₹10,999 per sq ft* super area, plus other charges, as on 24 September 2026, applicable to Caelum tower only — Haven and Elysian are fully booked, and the 2 BHK is sold out. 30:40:30 construction-linked plan, direct booking with no separate EOI, RERA UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026. Target buyer: premium end-user or pre-airport investor with a 4–7 year horizon.
Gaur Yamuna City — what’s on the market
Gaur Yamuna City is one of the larger delivered townships on the Yamuna Expressway — developed by Gaursons across hundreds of acres with apartments, plots, villas, a sports city, and neighbourhood retail. Most primary sales are closed; the market today is largely resale and a small amount of fresh availability in later-launched towers. Target buyer: end-user looking for immediate move-in, rental investor, or buyer prioritising lower ticket size over premium spec.
- Developer: Gaursons India
- Type: Integrated township (apartments + plots + villas + sports + retail)
- Status: Largely delivered; resale-dominant market
- Typical 2/3 BHK resale ticket: ₹55L – ₹1.1 Cr
- Typical rate: ₹7,000 – ₹8,500/sq.ft on resale
One newer piece of supply inside the township is a studio format rather than an apartment: Gaur Bento at Sector 19. It sits at a pre-registration stage with no RERA number verified as its own, which puts it in a different legal category from either side of this comparison — so if it comes up in the same conversation, compare it on that basis rather than on price alone.

“EOE favours premium specification and a short drive to the terminal; Gaur Yamuna City favours immediate move-in and township lifestyle at a lower entry price.”
What about Gaur Alaris? — EOE’s Sector 22D neighbour
An increasingly common comparison is not EOE against the delivered township at all, but against Gaur Alaris — the RERA-registered name of the project marketed earlier as Gaur Alaris (then Codename Plume) / Chrysalis 2.0. Its registration papers are set out one by one on the reference site for Gaur Alaris. That is a different question from Gaur Yamuna City: Alaris and EOE are both new, RERA-registered, 3-BHK-led launches inside Sector 22D itself, so the comparison is neighbour-to-neighbour (as on 6 August 2026):
| Eldeco Echoes of Eden | Gaur Alaris | |
|---|---|---|
| RERA | UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026 | UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026 |
| Configuration | 3 BHK+2T 1,550 & 3 BHK+3T 1,850 sq.ft super | 3 BHK only — 1,550 & 1,950 sq.ft super (Phase 1) |
| BSP | ₹10,999/sq.ft* super area, plus other charges, 24 September 2026 (Caelum tower; Haven & Elysian fully booked) | ₹9,000/sq.ft* on the closing list, against a stated launch price of ₹12,000/sq.ft*; Phase 1 fully booked on 1 September 2026 |
| Possession per RERA | January 2031 | 9 June 2031 |
| Scale | 558 homes · 3 towers · 5 acres | 8 towers + Community-Club Regalia (Phase 1) |
| Distinctives | All residences corner units, private balcony in every bedroom, 6 homes/floor, ARCOP design | Peacock-themed, ~1,00,000 sq.ft clubhouse-and-terrace zone, allotment first-come-first-served (1,200+ cheques per the Gaurs sales desk, early Aug 2026) |
Neither is “the better project” in the abstract — they optimise for different buyers. If low density, corner-unit light and design pedigree lead your list, EOE is the natural fit; if amenity scale and a lower entry BSP lead, Alaris is. Both registrations are live on the register — read our Gaur Alaris review for the Alaris side, and verify either independently on up-rera.in before paying anything.
Who should prefer which
Prefer Eldeco EOE if…
- You want premium 2026-era spec (VRV AC, 32-storey, large-window design)
- You’re willing to wait 4–5 years for possession to capture the pre-airport BSP
- You want a fresh-build with structural warranty and no second-owner wear
- You value airport proximity (~10 min vs ~15–20 min)
- You prefer a listed developer with documented financials
Prefer Gaur Yamuna City if…
- You need immediate move-in or rental income from day one
- Your budget is sub-₹1 Cr and the premium of EOE isn’t worth it
- You want township-scale amenities (school, retail, sports city)
- You want to see the actual unit, neighbourhood and traffic before committing
- You’re prioritising a specific tower / floor / orientation that’s available in resale
The practical buyer decision tree
- Do you need to move in within 6 months? — Yes → Gaur resale. No → continue.
- Is your budget under ₹1 Cr? — Yes → Gaur or a similar resale. No → continue.
- Is the shortest drive to the terminal, on a 5 to 7 year horizon, your top goal? Yes → EOE. No → continue.
- Do you value premium new-build spec (VRV, 32-storey)? — Yes → EOE. No → Gaur resale.
- Do you want township-scale infrastructure day one? — Yes → Gaur. No → EOE.
Due diligence — non-negotiable steps
- RERA verification on both. EOE: UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026. Gaur: check specific phase/tower on rera.up.gov.in.
- For Gaur resale, check title chain — original allotment, sub-registrar transfer records, society NOC, pending dues.
- For EOE, confirm escrow. Booking payments only into the RERA-declared escrow account.
- Get the AFS draft reviewed. The only enforceable document. Use our booking checklist.
- Compare all-in cost, not BSP. Use our total cost calculator; repeat for Gaur’s cost sheet.
