Dwarka Expressway Gets a Terrace-Led Housing Format From Max Estates

On 13 May 2026, Max Estates officially launched The Terraces — a residential offering within its Estate 361 township in Sector 36A on the Dwarka Expressway. While the location and pricing are certainly compelling, what makes this project stand out is its format. The Terraces is built around eight shared community terraces within the tower itself, each designed as a genuine everyday space rather than an amenity you visit once and forget.

Yoga decks, rock climbing walls, farm-to-table kitchens, herb gardens and social interaction spaces — these aren't ground-level additions tucked away from the residences. They're woven vertically into the building, accessible from multiple floors, and intended to become part of how residents actually spend their time at home.

A Different Kind of Address on Dwarka Expressway

The Dwarka Expressway corridor has attracted significant real estate attention over the past few years — and for good reason. Infrastructure is in place, connectivity has improved dramatically, and the upcoming Global City development just 2 minutes away is set to transform the area into a major commercial and lifestyle hub. But most projects along this stretch have played it fairly conventional.

The Terraces takes a different approach. Rather than maximising saleable area, the project dedicates significant square footage to shared vertical amenities — an unusual decision that reflects a growing understanding of what urban residents actually value. People don't just want more space. They want better days.

The Intergenerational Vision Behind Estate 361

To understand The Terraces fully, you need to understand the larger ecosystem it sits within. Estate 361 has been conceived as an intergenerational community — not a marketing buzzword, but a genuine planning principle. The township includes The Terraces for young couples and first-time homeowners, full-scale family residences for growing families, and Antara Senior Living for older residents — all connected within one integrated development.

This kind of multigenerational planning is rare in Indian real estate. Most developers build for one buyer type. Estate 361 is designed for an entire family across different life stages — which means children can grow up, parents can age in place, and grandparents can live independently but nearby. It's a model that draws directly from four decades of the Max Group's broader work in healthcare, insurance and wellness.

Amenities That Go Beyond the Usual Checklist

Most premium residential projects in this price range offer a gym, a pool and perhaps a clubhouse. The Terraces does all of that — but the more interesting parts are what you wouldn't usually expect.

The rooftop amenity hub includes pickleball and padel courts, a cricket pitch and multiple recreational and fitness spaces across the clubhouse. The 2-acre urban forest with over 1,000 native trees isn't a patch of grass at the edge of the development — it's a designed natural space that forms a genuine green lung for the community. Residents who care about air quality, birdsong in the morning and green views from their balcony will find this genuinely meaningful.

Wellness Infrastructure That Residents Actually Use

The integrated wellness centre at Estate 361 goes beyond the standard "gym and spa" offering. It includes diagnostics, medical-grade wellness services, wellness technology and long-term health partnerships — all on-site. Combined with Care at Home by Antara (the Max Group's senior care brand) and a 24x7 ambulance within the complex, this is healthcare infrastructure embedded into daily life rather than bolted on as an afterthought.

For residents working in hybrid formats, there's a co-working space within the clubhouse — a practical acknowledgement that home and office are increasingly the same place for many professionals. The concierge, front-of-house teams, maintenance support and lease assistance further reinforce the sense that this is a managed living experience, not just a building.

Sustainability at the Core

The Terraces carries IGBC Platinum pre-certification — one of the highest green building standards available in India. The sustainability features built into the project include rainwater harvesting, solar energy for common areas, VRF air conditioning systems, energy-efficient water heating and on-site composting. These aren't optional extras or marketing additions. They're structural decisions that reduce the building's environmental footprint and — over time — residents' operating costs.

Location: Already Connected, Getting Better

Sector 36A already has strong connectivity via Dwarka Expressway and the Central Peripheral Road. IGI Airport is approximately 35 minutes away. Cyber City, Golf Course Road, Udyog Vihar and Global City are all within a comfortable commute. The proposed Metro corridor in the vicinity will further improve public transport access when operational.

What's particularly interesting from an investment standpoint is the planned Global City — a 1,000-acre mixed-use development positioned just 2 minutes from The Terraces. When a project of that scale comes up adjacent to your neighbourhood, the rental demand and capital value trajectory tends to shift significantly. Early investors in well-planned projects near Global City are likely to benefit from that transformation.

Is The Terraces Right for You?

If you're a young professional or couple looking for a well-designed home with genuine lifestyle infrastructure in a high-growth location — Phase 1 pricing starting at ₹2.4 crore makes this an accessible entry point into a project with serious long-term credentials.

If you're an investor looking for rental income, the combination of managed services, lease assistance and proximity to Global City and multiple employment hubs creates a strong demand foundation. The IGBC Platinum certification also increasingly matters to corporate tenants who factor sustainability into their housing choices.

And if you're thinking longer-term — about buying a home your parents might one day live in, or where your children can grow up — the intergenerational design of Estate 361 as a whole makes this a rare kind of real estate decision that goes beyond the transaction.

The Terraces isn't just a new project on Dwarka Expressway. It's a considered attempt to rethink what living well in an urban tower actually means.
