Geographic Highlights
The list is dominated by India, China and Japan, due to large scale Buddhist & Hindu structures built in the last three decades of, to be sure, objectified tourism (which is the basis of the latest list).
India’s Structure Statue of Unity, rises almost half of a meter taller than the “runner-up” structure, making it considerably more massive than the other structures on this list.
In Brazil, they have recently erected “Christ the Protector,” which is taller than the world-famous “Christ the Redeemer.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if a project is RERA-registered?
Search the state RERA portal by project or builder name for the registration number and approved plan. Our RERA check guide explains it.
Can NRIs buy property in Gurgaon and NCR?
Yes, NRIs can buy residential and commercial property in India, though not farm land. Payments must come through banking channels, and a trusted power of attorney helps if you are abroad.
What taxes apply when I sell property in Gurgaon and NCR?
You pay capital gains tax on the profit, lower if you hold beyond the long-term period, with reliefs if you reinvest in another home. Take advice before you sell.
Is it a good time to buy in Gurgaon and NCR?
Timing matters less than buying the right property at a fair price with clean papers. If a home fits your budget and needs, waiting for a perfect market rarely pays.

Check the chain of ownership, the latest record, any loan or lien and pending dues, and match the seller identity to the title. A local lawyer can vet the deed.
What should I check during a site visit in Gurgaon and NCR?
Construction quality, water and power backup, the neighbourhood, road access, and how the actual unit compares to the brochure. Visit at different times of day if you can.
Can I negotiate the price in Gurgaon and NCR?
Resale and ready inventory are usually negotiable, while fresh launches have fixed rates but may waive some charges. Compare recent deals nearby to judge a fair price.
What is the difference between carpet area and super area?
Carpet area is the usable space inside your walls; super area adds a share of common areas. Always confirm the carpet area you actually get before comparing prices.

Ready homes have no wait, no GST and no build risk but cost more; under-construction is cheaper with a longer wait. Choose by your timeline and risk appetite.

Shortlist, visit, check the papers and RERA, then pay the booking amount and sign the agreement. Read the payment plan and cancellation terms before you commit.
Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Gurgaon and NCR?
For anything beyond a simple, clean deal it helps. A lawyer vets the title, the agreement and the approvals, which is cheap insurance against a costly mistake.
What is a builder-buyer agreement?
It is the core contract between you and the developer, setting the price, payment plan, area, specifications and possession date. Read it fully before signing.

It certifies a building is legally fit to occupy. Never take possession of a completed home without it, since it affects loans, utilities and resale.

Mutation updates the ownership in municipal and revenue records after a sale. Without it the property tax and records still point to the old owner, so get it done.
