Greater Kailash 1 (GK-I) was developed in the 1960s by [[DLF Limited]] when Delhi Government allowed private developers to build colonies and is today one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the city, home to well-known politicians, business personality and people associated with Bollywood industry. GK 1 markets in M and N Block are some of the most popular markets among Delhites and tourists because of its wide range of shopping, restaurants, bars, etc. Home to a wide range of international and national retail stores, such as Giovanni, Next, Puma, Nike, Adidas, Lacoste, United Colors of Benetton, Carlton and several restaurants and coffee houses such as [[Starbucks]], [[Dunkin' Donuts|Dunkin Donuts]], [[Café Coffee Day|Cafe Coffee Day]], Bohemia, etc. The Office of [[ASSOCHAM]] was there in Zamrudpur Community Centre till May 2013.

==Greater Kailash Part 2==
The development of Greater Kailash-I was followed by the expansion of Greater Kailash Part II, which has easier accessibility to the [[Outer Ring Road, Delhi|Outer Ring Road]] of New Delhi. M-Block, GK II is a popular market, with many restaurants, coffee shops, sanitary shops and [[beauty salon]]s. It is one of the largest hubs for sanitary ware in Northern India.

==Real Estate==
Established in the early 1960s, the Greater Kailash locality has two metro stations on the violet and magenta lines. It has its own prime market which hosts numerous opulent salons, boutiques and eating joints. Property rates have always been high in this colony due to the numerous facilities available. Builder floors and independent villas cost anywhere between INR 6-25 crores (the US $800,000 - $9,000,000) in this colony. Rental rates are also very high due to which this residential area is among the most expensive pin codes of New Delhi.
