In a landmark collaboration poised to reshape the hospitality and real estate sectors, Della Group has announced a strategic partnership with Hiranandani Developers and Krisala Developers to develop India’s first racecourse-themed luxury township in North Hinjewadi, Pune. Spanning 40 acres of a larger 105-acre master plan, this venture promises to be more than a township—it is set to become a destination.
This unique alliance brings together three giants with complementary strengths:
Della Group, helmed by visionary Jimmy Mistry, is renowned for innovation in luxury hospitality and adventure experiences.
Hiranandani Developers, a name synonymous with excellence in real estate.
Krisala Developers, known for timely delivery and quality housing in Pune.
Together, they are building not just homes but a lifestyle ecosystem—where ultra-luxury, adventure, wellness, and business converge seamlessly.
At the heart of this project lies a full-scale racecourse and international polo club, setting the tone for the entire township. Surrounding this dynamic core are:
128 private villa plots
112 ultra-luxury resort residences
A 300-key five-star luxury resort
Nine wedding venues and 12 corporate event spaces
A world-class adventure park, golf course, and wellness retreat
This multi-use development is the first of its kind in India, blending residential, hospitality, and recreational formats into a unified, themed living experience.
With an estimated investment of ₹500 crore in its initial phase and projected revenues of ₹1,100 crore, the project uses a development management model. Della Group will earn a 15% topline fee, a bold move that aligns brand involvement with performance.
This model is transformational—bringing professional hospitality expertise into township development. It signals a new era where hospitality design principles guide real estate planning.
The township is already in advanced planning stages, with land acquisition complete and architectural designs underway. The first phase launches within three months, with possession of resort and villa plots by early next year, and the remainder—including private residences—by 2026.
Architecturally, the design will blend contemporary, organic, and British colonial aesthetics—creating a timeless, resort-style environment rarely seen in Indian housing developments.
What makes this venture extraordinary isn’t just its scale—it’s the merging of luxury hospitality with daily life. Residents won’t just live in homes—they’ll live within a curated, five-star experience. Every villa, every apartment, and every corner of the township is a touchpoint for hospitality-led living.
This township is a case study in convergence:
Hospitality meets real estate
Adventure meets wellness
Design meets experience
It underscores a broader shift: today's guests no longer want isolated stays—they want integrated, immersive environments. As hospitality players venture into real estate and vice versa, this township becomes a blueprint for future developments across India and beyond.
This project reimagines the way we live, celebrate, and unwind. As hospitality brands begin to shape the cities of tomorrow, the lines between guest, resident, and experience-blazer will blur. And if this partnership is any indication, the future is thrillingly bold.

Sterling Holiday Resorts is deepening its commitment to spiritual tourism with the launch of Sterling Kastoori Rudraprayag, a peaceful yet well-connected Himalayan retreat for pilgrims and travellers alike.
