Forbes Fab Luxe vs Eldeco Live by the Greens — Buyer's Comparison
QUICK VERDICT
Forbes Fab Luxe Residences is the better choice for ultra-luxury buyers (₹2.96 Cr+) prioritising plate size, AQI-managed indoor air, NBCC construction supervision and 11-foot ceilings on a 13-acre, 11-tower master plan in Sector 4 Greater Noida West.
Eldeco Live by the Greens is the better choice for mid-luxury buyers (~₹1.5 Cr) seeking a credible Eldeco brand, smaller plates, faster 2027 possession, and a softer entry into the segment. 3 BHK is approximately 1,800 sq ft super / 1,080 sq ft carpet.
The two projects target meaningfully different price tiers and are not direct substitutes. Forbes Fab Luxe wins on plate size, AQI engineering, ceiling height, amenities and brand premium. Eldeco wins on absolute entry price and a faster delivery timeline.

Developer Credibility & Construction Supervision
Eldeco Group is one of the longest-operating developers in NCR with a delivery track record stretching back decades across mid-segment and mid-luxury residential. Eldeco's brand is widely known and credible in the ₹1-1.8 Cr segment. The developer has a strong cadence on launches and possession in this tier.
Forbes Fab Luxe Residences is built under NBCC (India) Limited supervision — a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Government of India, with deep credentials in institutional residential builds. NBCC supervision is positioned at the ultra-luxury tier, where construction quality differentiation matters most. Forbes Global Properties brings the brand layer.
Both projects represent credible developer backing. Eldeco's brand confidence is calibrated to its mid-luxury price tier; Forbes Fab Luxe's NBCC supervision is calibrated to its ultra-luxury tier.
Location & Connectivity
Both projects sit in Greater Noida West with similar infrastructure access:
- Delhi-Meerut Expressway — Forbes Fab Luxe is 5 min (2 km); Eldeco is ~7-10 min
- Delhi-Meerut RRTS Station — 10-12 min from both
- Sector 51/52 Metro Station — ~5 min drive (3 km)
- FNG Expressway — 10 min (5 km)
- Hindon Airport — 20 min (15 km)
- Noida International Airport (Jewar) — 45 min (50 km)
Forbes Fab Luxe sits in the established Sector 4 luxury cluster near Gaur City Mall and the upcoming social infrastructure spine. Eldeco Live by the Greens enjoys reasonable connectivity in its Sector 2 / Sector 16 sub-pocket. Both connectivity profiles are strong; neither has a meaningful commute advantage. For deeper context on the Greater Noida West micro-market see the Forbes Noida Extension location guide.
Configurations & Floor Plans
Forbes Fab Luxe offers three configurations in the ultra-luxury tier: 3 BHK Type A (2,690 sq ft super / 1,208 sq ft carpet, 4 bathrooms, 327 sq ft balconies), 3 BHK Type B (2,718 sq ft super / 1,598 sq ft carpet), and 4 BHK + Study (3,307 sq ft super / 1,946 sq ft carpet, 5 bathrooms, 448 sq ft balconies). For deeper layout context see our floor plan guide for 3 BHK and 4 BHK.
Eldeco Live by the Greens offers configurations from 2 BHK to 4 BHK calibrated for mid-luxury. The 3 BHK is approximately 1,800 sq ft super / 1,080 sq ft carpet, while the 4 BHK is approximately 2,200 sq ft super / 1,300 sq ft carpet. These plates are ~33-50% smaller than Fab Luxe Type A on super area — reflecting the different price tier.
Pricing & All-In Cost
| Cost Component | Forbes Fab Luxe 3 BHK Type A | Eldeco Live by the Greens 3 BHK |
|---|---|---|
| BSP (Approx) | ₹2.96 Cr | ₹1.51 Cr |
| Club + Parking + Power Backup | ₹10-15 L | ₹5-8 L |
| EDC / IDC | ~₹8 L | ~₹5 L |
| GST (5%) | ~₹15 L | ~₹7.5 L |
| Stamp Duty (7% male) | ~₹21 L | ~₹10.5 L |
| Registration (1%) | ~₹3 L | ~₹1.5 L |
| Total Cost | ~₹3.55 Cr | ~₹1.78 Cr |
The ~₹1.77 Cr delta funds: 49% more carpet at Fab Luxe Type A (88% more at Type B), 11-foot ceilings, India's first AQI Management System, NBCC construction supervision, the 35,000 sq ft clubhouse vs ~15-18k at Eldeco, two-level basement parking, and the 13-acre master plan with 70% greens.

Amenities & Wellness Programme
Forbes Fab Luxe runs a 64+ amenity stack across a 35,000 sq ft grand clubhouse and 75,000 sq ft of total amenity area. The headline differentiator is the AQI Management System — outdoor air purification towers, 100% fresh-air indoor supply, microforests, and PM2.5/PM10 sensors at the bedside. Wellness highlights: soft water treatment, spa, sauna, infinity pool, sports academy with tennis/badminton/basketball/squash, and a senior citizens' zone with health monitoring kiosks.
Eldeco Live by the Greens offers a competent amenity programme — clubhouse, pool, gym, courts, garden zones — calibrated for the ~₹1.5 Cr mid-luxury segment. Without the AQI engineering or the ultra-luxury amenity intensity, the experience is appropriate to the tier. For households that prioritise amenity-led living and managed indoor air, the Forbes Fab Luxe specification is a step-change.
Possession Timeline & RERA
Eldeco Live by the Greens possession is targeted for 2027 — earlier than the typical Greater Noida West luxury cohort. Forbes Fab Luxe possession is targeted for late 2028. For buyers who cannot wait beyond 2027, Eldeco offers a faster timeline. For buyers willing to wait an additional ~12 months for the larger and differentiated product, Forbes Fab Luxe is the right shortlist. Both projects are anchored by construction-linked plans aligned to milestones. Forbes Fab Luxe additionally offers pre-launch and 80:20 subvention options, explained in the payment plan comparison and subvention 80:20 guide.
RERA: Eldeco Live by the Greens is registered with UP RERA. Forbes Fab Luxe is in active registration with UP RERA as of May 2026; the registration number will be published shortly. Buyers should always verify current RERA status on the official UP RERA portal before booking.

The Verdict — Who Should Buy What?
Buy Forbes Fab Luxe Residences if: You are shopping in the ₹2.5-3.5 Cr ultra-luxury tier and value AQI-managed engineering, NBCC supervision, 11-foot ceilings, low density and the most differentiated specification in Greater Noida West. The right buyer is a wellness-conscious family with the budget runway to deploy ₹3 Cr+ on a flagship apartment with multi-decade lived value.
Buy Eldeco Live by the Greens if: You are shopping in the ₹1.4-1.8 Cr mid-luxury tier, you want a credible Eldeco brand with a strong delivery track record, and the faster 2027 possession matters to your timeline. The right buyer is a household stepping into the Greater Noida West market for the first time, looking for a meaningful upgrade from a 1,200 sq ft mid-segment apartment.
Editorial pick: These two projects are not direct substitutes — they sit in different price tiers. Choose the tier that matches your budget runway and lifestyle aspirations first. If you are stretching from ₹1.5 Cr toward ₹2 Cr, Eldeco is the right answer; the ultra-luxury tier requires fundamentally larger plates and different specifications. If you have ₹3 Cr to deploy, the differentiation at Forbes Fab Luxe (AQI engineering, NBCC supervision, 11-foot ceilings) compounds over a 20-year ownership horizon.
