After the games, Emaar had the rights to sell 66% of the luxury apartments, which will be sold for Rs 18–42 million each (U$387,000-U$903,000)[2][3] The International Zone included the common areas with the Guest Pass Centre, the VIP Waiting Area, the Chefs de Mission Meeting Hall, the Mayor's Office, and the Media Center.
A 47.3 hectares (117 acres) picturesque site has been selected on the banks of river Yamuna for the purpose of construction of the games village.
The project site was within the immediate vicinity of monuments and historical landmarks, combined with dense green natural covers on the sides.
The topsoil of the entire excavated site has been collected and stored separately and special measures have been taken for soil stabilisation, such as- stockpiling, mulching, and so on.
All the service lines and utility corridors on the site are well aggregated and ensure minimum disruption during future maintenance work.
Significant measures have been taken to reduce air pollution during construction, such as – site roads are regularly sprayed with water; wheels of all vehicles are washed, and so on.
The building design has also included the existing site features, such as, the visual linkages with historical monuments, solar geometry, and so on.
