projects in the country. Ram Raheja, Director, S Raheja Realty says: "In the present times India has greater exposure to technology, which creates an aspiration to improve one’s lifestyle. In every state of our country, there exists a huge demand for the development of luxury projects. The metros and upcoming mini metros have a vast potential for a luxurious lifestyle experience. We are currently developing several luxury real estate projects in and around Mumbai. Our projects offer a very diverse range of luxury apartments, penthouses and second home villas. True luxury comes with customisation; hence we work very closely with our clients and buyers to create their ideal luxury space."

The group is developing some landmark projects in Mumbai. Raheja Cascades located on the foothills of Lonavala is an exquisite array of holiday homes comprising 36 boutique villas designed in various variants of 3/4/5 BHK. Each villa has a 30 ft private waterfall that originates from the terrace and cascades along the façade, creating reflection ponds at different levels. Within each villa there is a private pool with sunken seating and wooden decks that allow one to unwind in the lap of luxury while staying connected with nature. Encouranging sustainable lifestyles, the villas generate great cross-ventilation and natural light throughout the day. Natraj located in the prime location of Khar offers a rare view for a sprawling city—a view of a park. With just one apartment per floor one can appreciate the view in indulgent solitude. 31 JVPD, situated amongst some of the most stunning vintage bungalows, is an exclusive project for JVPD. It consists of a 40 ft lobby and lounge areas equipped with all the latest technologies.
