Why these two are on one page. A comparison only exists here where a buyer could genuinely be choosing between the two: both in DLF Phase 5; both quoted on super area, so the rates compare directly; both sell a 4 BHK; their asking ranges overlap — ₹7.80 Cr–₹9.25 Cr and ₹6.57 Cr–₹8.20 Cr. All four are facts the projects state about themselves — we did not score their similarity.

What each one costs

The money, side by side

Every figure below is published by the project or computed the same way its own page computes it. Nothing is averaged, and a disagreement between sources renders as a range.

	DLF The Icon	DLF Trinity Towers
Asking rate	₹30,492 per super sq ft ≈ ₹46,912 per carpet one listing	₹29,724 per super sq ft ≈ ₹45,730 per carpet one listing
Both quoted on the same area basis — that is one of the reasons these two are on a page together.
All-in, per carpet sq ft	₹57,433a modelled rate card	₹56,096a modelled rate card
The quoted rate plus development charges, GST, stamp duty and registration, divided back over carpet area. Same calculation as each project’s own page — statutory rates are published, development charges are marked where we had to model them.
Ticket, as published	₹7.80 Cr – ₹9.25 Cr	₹6.57 Cr – ₹8.20 Cr
These overlap. That is the test that put the two on one page: a budget that reaches one reaches the other.
A 4 BHK here	₹7.80 Cr – ₹9.25 Cr 1,800–2,825 sq ft super ≈ 1,170–1,836 sq ft carpet	₹6.96 Cr – ₹8.20 Cr 2,343–2,759 sq ft super ≈ 1,523–1,793 sq ft carpet 3 listed
The configuration both projects list most of, priced as each publishes it. Nothing is converted or estimated by us.
Against comparable homes	₹1,232 above the median of 25 comparable homes our cohort	Level with it within ₹500 of the median of 25 comparable homes our cohort
Not against each other — against every home we hold on the same area basis, price tier and lifecycle.

The short version

Where they genuinely differ

Each line names the figure it came from. None of them is advice.

✓
They ask within 2.6% of each other per square foot — ₹30,492 and ₹29,724. Whatever separates these two, it is not the rate
both projects’ published rates
✓
Once charges and duty are added the gap becomes ₹1,337 a carpet square foot, against ₹768 on the quoted rate
published statutory rates, applied to both
✓
DLF The Icon is 150.0 km closer to a metro station (750.0 km against 900.0 km)
mapped station locations
⚠
DLF Trinity Towers lists 43 amenities against 30 at DLF The Icon. It is a count of what is advertised, and nobody audits it
developer listings
⚠
Our resale index reads DLF The Icon as mixed resale market and DLF Trinity Towers as good resale market. It is our own index rather than a filed figure, and it describes how contested selling again would be, and says nothing about what the home will be worth

The part you were expecting

We are not going to pick one

There is no winner on this page, and there will not be one. Two homes differ on price, on stage, on who built them and on how hard each would be to sell again, and which of those matters is a question about you rather than about the buildings. A site that ranks two homes is selling one of them. The most useful thing we can do is put the record of both in front of you and be clear about where it runs out.

Deciding between more than two? The Property File keeps your own shortlist, your own notes from each visit, and the all-in cost of each — and it does not pick a winner either.
