Central Park, a prominent real estate developer in Gurugram and part of The Bakshi Group of Enterprises, has introduced Sakura Town, a new and exclusive Japanese club designed to elevate luxury living in the region. Managed by Central Park’s hospitality division, St. Jerome, Sakura Town is located in Sector-48, Sohna Road, within the upscale, fully-serviced living space known as The Room at Central Park Resorts.
Sakura Town is crafted to provide a unique "home-away-from-home" experience for the Japanese expatriate community in Delhi NCR. The club’s design and amenities are inspired by the serene elegance of Japanese culture, seamlessly blending it with seven-star hospitality. The aim is to offer a distinctive residential experience that caters to the specific needs of its Japanese members.
Amarjit Bakshi, Chairman and Managing Director of Central Park, highlighted the company’s vision behind the launch: “At Central Park, we have always aspired to create an unmatched living experience that goes beyond mere residency, embodying a true sense of community and luxury. The launch of Sakura Town reflects our dedication to exceeding expectations. By integrating authentic Japanese cultural elements, we aim to offer our residents, especially our Japanese expatriates, an enriching environment that blends cultural diversity with world-class hospitality.”
Rajit Sardana, President of Hospitality at Central Park, added, “Sakura Town is more than just a club; it’s a thoughtfully designed space tailored to the preferences of the Japanese community. With amenities such as the Ofuro, the Ginza restaurant, the Ariake-do Spa, and a state-of-the-art golf simulator, we are bringing the essence of Japan to Central Park. Sakura Town exemplifies our commitment to providing an exceptional lifestyle to our discerning Japanese residents. We are excited to welcome members to this unique club, where every detail is crafted to offer an authentic and luxurious experience.”
Sakura Town embodies the Japanese philosophy of Omotenashi, which emphasizes exceptional hospitality. The club features a variety of traditional amenities, including the Ofuro hot baths known for their relaxing and therapeutic benefits, Ginza—a restaurant serving exquisite Japanese cuisine curated by Japanese chefs, and the Ariake-do Spa, offering authentic Japanese spa treatments. The club also includes Bochi Bochi Salon, which provides hair and makeup services by professional stylists, as well as additional amenities such as a swimming pool, gym, Mahjong rooms, and a golf simulator. The Sakura Events Deck is another highlight, ideal for hosting memorable social gatherings.
Central Park’s commitment to luxury extends beyond amenities, as the brand focuses on creating a lasting sense of belonging for its residents. Sakura Town aims to transform everyday living into an extraordinary experience, where thoughtful design meets unparalleled service, making it more than just a place to live—it’s a community that feels like home.
