Raymond Realty Signs ₹8,500 Crore JDA in Parel
Raymond Realty announced that it has signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) to develop a prestigious residential project in a prime location of Parel, Mumbai marking its foray in South Mumbai. This represents Raymond Realty's 8th Joint Development project in Mumbai city, reaffirming the strong momentum behind the Company's strategic expansion plan.
The project carries an estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of approximately Rs. 8,500 crore, making it the largest project undertaken by the Raymond Realty outside its flagship Thane land parcel to date.
Location and Connectivity
Parel sits in South Mumbai's central position, bridging key business and residential zones. Located in the southern tip of Mumbai, Parel is a fast-paced and rapidly developing locality, sandwiched between Eastern Freeway and Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Road. Its neighbouring localities include Worli, Dadar East, Ghodapdeo, and Prabhadevi.
The project leverages a highly strategic location, offering immediate connectivity via the newly commissioned Atal Setu to the Navi Mumbai International Airport. The Sewri-Worli Elevated Connector, scheduled to open by late 2026, is projected to shorten commutes to major business hubs such as Worli, BKC and Lower Parel, while an upcoming underground tunnel is slated to ensure seamless travel to Marine Drive and Nariman Point by 2028.
Project Highlights
The development gives Raymond Realty a premier opportunity to construct an iconic, large-scale residential project in the heart of the city, offering unparalleled location advantages, unhindered sea views, and exceptional connectivity.
The announcement stated that the company will provide further updates on approvals and timelines as the project progresses. Execution timelines and further commercial details were not disclosed in the announcement.
Raymond Realty's Expansion Strategy
With this addition, the total Gross Development Value of Raymond Realty's projects is expected to rise to nearly ₹52,000 crore. The Parel project reflects the developer's systematic pivot into central and South Mumbai, complementing its established portfolio in Thane.
The company's expansion roadmap includes upcoming residential and mixed-use launches in Mahim, Kandivali, and Parel. These future projects are designed to bring Raymond's integrated development model combining spacious apartment layouts, extensive community amenities, high-street retail spaces, and transit access to key South and Central Mumbai locations.
