Our Vision

Raya Terraces reflects a clear judgement about how Juhu should evolve. The scale is intentionally controlled, the planning deliberately private, and every decision guided by long familiarity with the neighbourhood. Raya builds forward without unsettling what already belongs.

Who are we?

Iconic Developments is the real-estate arm of The Acres Group, an evolution of the erstwhile Apurva Natvar Parikh Group. Founded by Natvarlal Chotalal Parikh in the same year India gained independence.

The Acres Group began in 1947 as a response to a young nation’s needs and steadily evolved into a multi-sector group shaped by technical expertise and long-term thinking.

For over seven decades, The Acres Group has helped build infrastructure, communities and institutions, always guided by consistency and integrity. Real estate, for The Acres Group, is not a departure, but a natural extension of standards upheld across generations.
