Founded by design futurist Jimmy Mistry, Della Townships is redefining how India imagines and builds its communities. Positioned as the country’s first asset-light real estate company, Della is spearheading a new model that blends resorts, residences, recreation, wellness, and luxury retail into cohesive, experience-led ecosystems.
At the heart of its innovation is the proprietary CDDMO™ model — Conceptualisation, Design, Development, Marketing & Sales, and Operations — which allows Della to partner with landowners and developers, eliminating the need for capital-intensive land acquisition. The result is a scalable, agile framework that mirrors Airbnb’s impact on hospitality and Uber’s on mobility, shifting the paradigm from ownership to expertise and brand-driven value creation.
Phase One Expansion: ₹5,800 Crore GDV Under Development
In its first phase, Della Townships has pre-launched five integrated projects across India, representing a Gross Development Value (GDV) of ₹5,800 crore.
These include:
- Della Racecourse, Pune – Resort & Private Residences (₹1,250 crore)
- Della European Wellness, Goa – Luxury Private Residences (₹365 crore)
- Della European Wellness, Nagpur – Resort & Private Residences (₹385 crore)
- Della Bor Reserve, Nagpur – Wildlife Resort & Private Residences (₹1,800 crore)
- Della Racecourse, Raipur – International Polo Club & Residences (₹2,000 crore)
Together spanning over 400 acres, these projects are currently in the master planning and statutory approval stage, with ground-breaking scheduled for Q1 2026.
Phase 1 will focus on developing thematic experiences, infrastructure, hospitality, adventure, retail, and wellness zones within the first 12–18 months, ensuring early activation of value and footfalls. Phase 2 will add branded residences and full-scale township development within 36 months.

Upcoming Projects: ₹14,000 Crore GDV Pipeline
Building on its momentum, Della plans to pre-launch five additional townships within the next two quarters, with a combined GDV of ₹14,000 crore. New destinations include Mumbai (Thane), Maal-Kasara, Igatpuri, Nagpur (Lake Como), Ahmedabad, and Ranthambore, together covering over 900 acres.
Further expansion is planned for FY 2026–27, with projects proposed in Kolkata, Dapoli, Ahmedabad, and Amaravati, underscoring Della’s ambition to establish a pan-India footprint.
A New Mindset for Real Estate
“With Della Townships, we are pioneering India’s first asset-light real estate company dedicated to integrated township development,” says Jimmy Mistry, Founder and Design Futurist.
“Our model transforms how real estate is created, financed, and experienced. By focusing on design excellence, innovation, and speed of execution rather than static land ownership, we unlock immense value for landowners and investors alike. Each Della Township is envisioned as a Salutogenic community — designed to add years to life and life to years.”
Della’s expertise spans hospitality, adventure and wedding venues, MICE infrastructure, luxury outlet malls, and Mayr-based medical wellness, integrating global design thinking with Indian cultural nuance.
With nearly ₹20,000 crore in developments under rollout and a model that replaces land banking with experience-led, purpose-driven growth, Della Townships is not just building projects — it’s reshaping the future of how India lives, works, and dreams.
