New Delhi, Nov 25 () Realty major DLF's arm will invest around Rs 1,500 crore in the next two years on construction of over 3 million sq ft office space in Gurugram, Haryana to tap into growing demand for commercial properties from corporates and co-working players.

Asked about project cost, Khattar said the construction cost is estimated to be around Rs 5,000 per sq ft.
