I'm from Chromepet – Pallavaram is our neighbouring locality. The address on OMR-Pallavaram connector near Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam radial road is actually a good one. Not exactly within Pallavaram town but the radial road access means you're 15 minutes from Velachery and 20 from OMR companies. The flooding concern is valid – the area around Pallavaram lake and the low-lying stretches near Chromepet do flood during heavy rain. But this site is slightly elevated compared to the lake zone. Still, ask the developer specifically if the site has done a flood risk assessment under CMDA norms.
My cousin booked here in pre-launch. She got a 2BHK at ₹61L which is the base price. By the time she added car parking (₹4.5L), power backup connection (₹75K), club membership (₹1L), the all-in was ₹67.5L before GST and registration. So the advertised ₹61L is misleading – factor in ₹8-10L of mandatory/quasi-mandatory add-ons. That said, for Pallavaram, ₹67L for 1161 sqft isn't terrible. The low-rise format really does make a difference to daily life quality – no waiting for lifts, children can run around safely.
For elderly parents, B+G+5 low-rise is genuinely the best format. Casagrand usually puts ground floor flats specifically for senior citizens at a slight premium. Worth asking. The 1.5 acre clubhouse for 1314 units is actually a good ratio – about 50 sqft of clubhouse per unit which is above average. Most projects do 20-30 sqft per unit. The Spanish theme will look nice for the first few years; after 5 years all such theme projects end up looking the same when maintenance lapses. Focus on the structural quality, not the tile patterns.
No possession date announced at RERA stage means they've registered but haven't committed yet. This is becoming common with Casagrand's newer launches – they register RERA early to build credibility but delay the possession commitment. Once you're in the pre-launch phase and 400 units are sold, they'll announce a timeline. Probably Dec 2027-Jun 2028 given the TN/35 RERA in 2025. Just make sure your agreement clearly mentions possession date before signing. Courts have repeatedly held that RERA-registered projects must honour committed possession.
