Studio apartments have become one of the most talked-about small-ticket real estate investments in Noida. But here’s the reality most buyers miss: all studio apartments are NOT the same.
They may look similar, but legally, commercially, and financially, they are completely different products.

In this blog, we decode the three core categories of studios—OFFICE SUITES, RESIDENTIAL STUDIO, and COMMERCIAL STUDIO—and compare leading projects like logix zest, golden palm, and fairfox eon studio, along with premium commercial options.

OFFICE SUITES – The Smart Work-Life Investment

Office Suites are studios located inside IT/ITeS office campuses. Since they are part of commercial office land, they enjoy better infrastructure and strong rental demand.

Key Features of Office Suites

• Located inside office campuses

• Preferred by working professionals from the same project

• Also used by companies as guest houses

• Better rental yield than residential studios

Notable Office Suite Projects

• Fairfox EON

• Orion One 32

Rental Yield

5%–6% annually

Office suites strike the perfect balance between affordability and income, making them ideal for investors looking for stable rental cashflow.

RESIDENTIAL STUDIO – Affordable Entry, Limited Upside

A RESIDENTIAL STUDIO is part of a residential society and is treated like a small apartment. These are usually cheaper but come with certain limitations.

Popular Residential Studio Projects

• Logix Zest

• Golden Palm

Logix Zest – Sector 143

• Approx price: ₹35–38 Lakhs

• Typical rent: ₹17k–18k/month

• No home loan available

Golden Palm – Sector 168

• Approx price: ₹55 Lakhs

• Rent potential: ₹30k–35k/month

• Located near major office hubs

Rental Yield

3.5% on average
Premium locations may touch 4.5%–5.5%

Residential studios work well for end-users or conservative investors, but ROI remains capped.

COMMERCIAL STUDIO – Highest Risk, Highest Reward

A COMMERCIAL STUDIO sits inside a pure commercial project, often leased to hotels or serviced apartment operators.

Premium Commercial Studio Projects

• Dasnac Arc

• M3M The Line

Why Commercial Studios Outperform

• 12–15 high-speed lifts

• Centralized air-conditioning

• High-street retail below (restaurants, multiplex, gaming zones)

• No residential society restrictions

• Preferred by hotels & corporate guests

Rental Yield

6%–7% easily
Hotel leasing can push returns to 7%–8%

These studios attract high-salary tenants, short-stay guests, and business travelers—making them the most lucrative studio category.

Why Is There Such a Price Difference?

The answer lies in land allotment cost:

• IT/ITES Land → Cheapest

• Residential Land → Moderate

• Commercial Land → Most expensive

That’s why:

• Office Suites & Residential Studio units are cheaper

• Commercial Studios cost more but justify pricing through higher ROI
