Initiated with humble beginnings by Ajay Choudhary, ACE Group was established in 2010. In the fifteen years since, the developer has grown into one of NCR's more consequential residential builders. Under Ajay Chaudhary's mentorship, ACE has delivered approximately 16.5 million sq ft of projects. It currently carries an under-construction pipeline of approximately 21 million sq ft, including joint ventures. That pipeline spans Noida's Sector 150 and 152, Greater Noida West, and, increasingly, the Yamuna Expressway — a corridor the group has been positioning itself in with purpose.
ACE Group positions itself as one of the fastest-growing real estate groups in India, focusing on prime locations in Noida, Greater Noida, and Yamuna Expressway. Its Yamuna Expressway projects are not peripheral additions to the portfolio — they represent a deliberate bet on the corridor's long-term infrastructure story, anchored by the now-operational Noida International Airport at Jewar.
Sector 22D Yamuna Expressway is a mid-segment locality in Greater Noida, adjacent to Sector 19 and Sector 24 Yamuna Expressway. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA), which means land use, layout, and utility provision follow a structured master plan rather than fragmented approvals.
The single most consequential infrastructure event for this sector has now occurred. The first phase of Noida International Airport was inaugurated on 28 March 2026, and commercial operations began on 15 June 2026. In its first phase, the airport has one runway and one passenger terminal with a capacity of 12 million passengers annually. For buyers in Sector 22D, the airport is no longer a future promise — it is a functioning gateway, roughly 28 minutes' drive from ACE Terra.
Among the most ambitious projects in the area is the proposed Noida International Film City in Sector 21 along the Yamuna Expressway, just 4 km from the Jewar Airport area — spread across 1,000 acres, it will feature production studios, post-production facilities, entertainment zones, and hotels. These institutional-scale developments create employment clusters that, historically, translate into sustained housing demand.
On price movement, Yamuna Expressway reached ₹6,600 per sq ft in 2024, up 98% since 2019. Apartments in Sector 22D average ₹9,300 per sq ft, with year-on-year appreciation running at around 4.5%. The area is still priced meaningfully below mature Noida corridors, which is where ACE Group's current positioning makes sense for both end-users and long-horizon investors.
ACE Group has built meaningful density in Sector 22D — not just a single project, but a recognisable presence across residential and commercial formats. ACE Estate is a residential project located in Sector 22D, with the Yamuna Expressway as its primary connecting road. ACE YXP in Sector 22D is a commercial saleable project designed for retail and entertainment. This combination of formats — housing and active retail — is consistent with how ACE Group has approached its larger Noida campuses, such as Ace Parkway and Ace Golfshire in Sector 150.
Within Greater Noida more broadly, the group's track record includes ACE Divino in Sector 01, Greater Noida West, a large residential project known for quality finishes and connectivity, and ACE Verde in Sector 22A, Yamuna Expressway. For its Sector 150 project ACE Golfshire, the group won the Times Business Awards 2019 for best luxury/premium developer of the year, for the second year running. That recognition gives context to the design and specification level buyers can expect from ACE Group launches on the Yamuna Expressway.
ACE Terra is a premium residential project in Sector 22D offering 3 and 4 BHK apartments, spread across 11 acres with 1,166 units ranging in size from 1,770 sq ft to 3,025 sq ft. The project comprises 12 towers with a G+25 floor structure.
ACE Terra is developed on a forest theme with 85% of the site dedicated to lush greens. The project sits on a four-side open plot with only four apartments per floor — a low-density configuration that is relatively uncommon at this price point on the expressway.
Unit configurations and indicative pricing are as follows:
| Configuration | Super Built-up Area | Indicative Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| 3 BHK | 1,770 – 2,395 sq ft | ₹1.76 Cr – ₹2.40 Cr |
| 4 BHK | 3,025 sq ft | From ₹3.02 Cr |
The 3 BHK starts from ₹1.76 Cr for 1,770 sq ft, goes up to ₹2.40 Cr for 2,395 sq ft, and the 4 BHK is available from ₹3.02 Cr for 3,025 sq ft.
The project was launched on 4 April 2024 and is expected to be completed by December 2028. ACE Terra is RERA-approved under registration number UPRERAPRJ683816.
ACE Terra offers lifestyle amenities including a swimming pool, tennis court, basketball court, senior citizens park, kids play area, jogging track, nature trails, garden, clubhouse, banquet area lawn, bakery and café, multi-cuisine restaurant, cards room, luxury lounges, library, gym, yoga centre, badminton court, squash court, and a pool and billiards table.
On sustainability, the project includes solar lighting, a sewage treatment plant, rainwater harvesting, garbage disposal, and waste management facilities. The structure is seismic zone-compliant with solid block masonry.
The Yamuna Expressway stretches 165 kilometres, linking Greater Noida to Agra and providing access to Delhi and other NCR locations. For ACE Terra residents, the expressway gives direct southward reach to the airport and northward reach toward Pari Chowk, Greater Noida's established commercial hub, and onward to Noida via the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway.
ACE Terra also offers connectivity to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, making travel to Ghaziabad, Faridabad, and Delhi's peripheral belt straightforward without passing through the city core. Key landmarks nearby include Galgotias University and the Buddh International Circuit. Proximity to GD Goenka School (approximately 2.9 km) further underpins demand in Sector 22D.
Noida International Airport is planned as a multi-modal transport hub with integration across road, rail, metro, and regional transit systems. A 71.1 km Ghaziabad–Jewar RRTS rapid rail corridor with 11 stations is planned, which would eventually give Sector 22D residents a rail connection into the broader NCR network — though this remains at the planning stage for now.
Buyers choosing ACE Group in Sector 22D are, in effect, backing a developer with a demonstrated NCR track record in a sector that has moved from anticipation to confirmed infrastructure. ACE Group has delivered to over 10,000 customers, and its Yamuna Expressway projects — ACE Estate, ACE Verde, ACE Acreville, and ACE Terra — represent a phased, committed presence in this corridor rather than a one-off launch.
Real estate on the Yamuna Expressway corridor has risen 20–30% since 2020, with Greater Noida up 98% from Q1 2020 to Q1 2025 in tracked residential indices. Against that backdrop, Sector 22D still offers relatively competitive pricing compared to more saturated NCR markets, with ACE Group and Logix Buildestate among the active under-construction developers here. For a buyer who wants scale, green density, and a known brand in a sector where the core infrastructure catalyst has now materialised, ACE Terra represents ACE Group's clearest statement of intent on the Yamuna Expressway.
