Casagrand Massimo

West Chennai has been crying out for quality residential options and Casagrand Massimo at Kundrathur is attempting to fill that gap. This is something I've been looking at for 6 months since I shifted jobs to the Porur-Ramapuram IT belt. Project stats: 7.9 acres, 853 units, 3 towers of 21 floors each, Roman-themed architecture (honestly just marketing), 24,000 sqft clubhouse, 70+ amenities. RERA: TN/01/Building/0362/2024. Possession target Dec 2027 to Apr 2028. Pricing is what makes this interesting: - 2BHK: ₹64L (roughly 1,100-1,200 sqft at ₹5,800/sqft) - 3BHK: ₹88L to ₹1.05 Cr - 4BHK: ₹1.20-1.32 Cr For Kundrathur-Porur belt, these prices make sense. Porur junction is getting too expensive (₹8,000-9,000/sqft) and Manapakkam is crowded. Kundrathur is the next logical zone. Location notes: - About 4 km from Porur junction – manageable daily commute to IT parks on Rajiv Gandhi Salai (Mount-Poonamallee road) - Proposed Chennai Metro Phase 2 Line 4 passes near Kundrathur - Kundrathur town has decent social infrastructure – temple, schools, medical shops - The Porur lake area is nearby – good for evening walks but flooding risk nearby My issue: 853 units in 7.9 acres is high density. 21-floor towers on 7.9 acres with 3 towers means the buildings will shadow each other for parts of the day. Ask specifically about sun direction and which units get good sunlight.

G Square Haven

G Square Haven at Maraimalai Nagar is their largest plotted community near the GST Road belt – 200 plots on 31.21 acres. DTCP approved. RERA registration is pending (G Square website states "RERA will be obtained soon"). Address: Gokulapuram Main Road, Maraimalai Nagar, Chennai 603204. Pricing: ₹3,490/sqft onwards. Starting from 600 sqft plots → entry ₹20.94L. At 1,200 sqft → ₹41.88L. At 1,800 sqft → ₹62.82L. This is genuinely affordable for a G Square project – their Chennai launches typically start ₹5,000+/sqft. The lower pricing reflects the Maraimalai Nagar location which is industrial corridor adjacent. Maraimalai Nagar context: - Sits on GST Road (NH48) between Chennai and Chengalpattu - Adjacent to SIPCOT Maraimalai Nagar industrial estate (Hyundai plant, SIPCOT factories) - Distance to Tambaram: 10 km | Chengalpattu: 15 km | Chennai Airport: 25 km - Maraimalai Nagar railway station has trains to Chennai and Chengalpattu 31.21 acres for 200 plots = 6.4 plots per acre – this is very low density, meaning large open spaces between plots. G Square's large-format projects tend to feel like proper planned layouts rather than cramped subdivisions. Important flag: NO RERA yet. Booking before RERA in Tamil Nadu post-2017 is technically a risk. G Square says RERA is pending. In practice, their DTCP approval and established track record means they will get RERA – but insist that your booking agreement includes a clause that the sale deed execution happens only after RERA registration. Do not make full payment before RERA is obtained. 600 sqft minimum plot is very small. Buildable area with setbacks: about 400 sqft per floor. Useful for a 1BHK only. Consider 1,000+ sqft minimum for a proper 2BHK house.

TVS Emerald Aaranya

TVS Emerald has been building in Chennai for years. Their previous projects in the city are occupied and the maintenance track record is something you can actually verify by talking to residents. TVS Emerald Aaranya is their current launch. RERA registered TN/01/Building/0055/2024. Manapakkam is one of West Chennai's fastest-growing residential corridors, well-connected to Guindy Industrial Estate, St. Thomas Mount Metro, and the outer ring road network via Ramapuram junction. The project features a 25,000 sq ft forest-themed clubhouse, a 200-metre nature trail, and a dedicated senior citizen's garden. TVS Group's engineering precision is evident across their delivered portfolio. Possession expected Q4 2026.

G Square South Crown

G Square South Crown at Medavakkam is a premium product from G Square – 86 plots on 3.36 acres, DTCP + RERA approved. Plot sizes 1,057 to 2,027 sqft at ₹6,999/sqft. What makes this stand out from most G Square launches: the amenities include a swimming pool, gym, and 3 open courtyards within the community. For a plotted development this is genuinely uncommon – most plot communities have a park and gate security and call it done. South Crown seems to be positioning as apartment-quality amenities within a plot format. At ₹6,999/sqft: - 1,057 sqft = ₹74L - 1,500 sqft = ₹1.05 Cr - 2,027 sqft = ₹1.42 Cr Medavakkam is one of South Chennai's most established localities. GST Road and OMR are both accessible. The Pallikaranai-Medavakkam-Sholinganallur corridor has dense employment. Schools are good (Velammal, Chettinad Vidya Mandir), hospitals nearby (Chettinad Health City 5 km). My concern: 86 plots on 3.36 acres = 25.6 plots per acre. That's dense for a plotted layout. With swimming pool and gym taking up common area, the actual building plots will be compact on a small total land parcel. The largest plot at 2,027 sqft in a dense 3.36-acre layout might not feel spacious. But Medavakkam location with DTCP approval and swimming pool amenity – hard to find this combination in South Chennai. At ₹74L for the entry 1057 sqft, it's more accessible than a flat in Medavakkam (3BHK starts at ₹85L in this locality). Anyone visited? How does the actual layout look on ground?

Casagrand Elinor

Casagrand Elinor at Karanai, near Navalur on OMR South, is one of the more affordable Casagrand options on the OMR belt right now. RERA: TN/01/Building/0163/2023. The project has 548 apartments across 5 acres in a B+G+19 floor tower format. Configuration and pricing (verified from casagrand.co.in): - 2 BHK: 1,134–1,201 sqft at ₹4,299/sqft → ₹56L–₹60L approx - 3 BHK: 1,531–1,595 sqft at same rate → ₹65L–₹76L approx Possession: Some sources say Oct 2026, others March 2026. The RERA-registered date is what matters – verify on tnrera.gov.in with TN/01/Building/0163/2023. Karanai-Navalur is about 4 km past the Siruseri ELCOT IT Park on OMR. This is genuinely deep OMR – companies like HCL, Cognizant, Wipro, TCS, Infosys have large campuses within 5-7 km. The stretch from Navalur to Siruseri is called OMR Phase 2 and it's a legitimate IT employment zone. What I like about Elinor: - ₹4,299/sqft for OMR is competitive vs most recent launches at ₹5,500-6,500/sqft - 5 acres for 548 units – slightly high density for 19-floor towers but manageable - B+G+19 high-rise means great views from upper floors My concerns: - Karanai is quite far from central Chennai – realistically 1.5 hours to Anna Nagar in peak traffic - Social infrastructure is still developing (mainly what the IT parks have built) - One tower format for 548 units means significant elevator dependency Has anyone visited the site recently? What floor is the construction at now? Any hands-on quality observations?

Casagrand Mercury

Finally took the plunge and visited the Casagrand Mercury site at Perambur last weekend with my wife. We've been tracking this project since it launched – the scale is honestly impressive but I had some concerns I want to discuss. The site spans 20 acres and they're doing 5 towers of 34 floors each. Total 1678 units across multiple RERA approvals – TN/29/Building/043/2024, TN/29/Building/055/2024, and TN/29/Building/0069/2024. The clubhouse they're calling "Club Celest" is supposed to be 89,000 sq ft which is massive, and they're promising 3 swimming pools. We looked at a 2BHK of 1,190 sq ft priced at ₹1.02 Cr and a 3BHK at 1,659 sq ft going for around ₹1.45 Cr. Per sq ft works out to roughly ₹8,500–9,000 range. My concerns: 1. Perambur is an established locality but the immediate micro-market around this site has some mixed neighborhoods. The stretch near Kolathur side looks better. 2. 1678 units means this will take years to complete. Phase-wise possession is supposedly Sep 2027 for early phases but RERA shows Mar 2029 for later towers. 3. Traffic on Perambur High Road is already bad – adding 1678 families will worsen it significantly. On the positive side – the 34-floor towers will have incredible views of North Chennai, and the Kolathur–Perambur metro connectivity is a plus. Anna Nagar is 20 minutes away. Has anyone else visited? What did you make of the pricing and construction quality? They're claiming 807 units already sold.

Casagrand Frenchtown

Something different from Casagrand this time – Frenchtown at Kovilancheri is positioned as a premium low-density community. 10.76 acres with only 639 units across 3 blocks in B+S+5 floor format. 78% open green space is the headline number and frankly, if they deliver it, it's exceptional. RERA: TN/35/Building/0337/2024. Possession Sep 2027 (their target), though RERA certified Oct 2026 which would be incredibly fast – I suspect the Oct 2026 is optimistic. The unusual part: they're offering 3 BHK from 857 sqft (very compact) all the way to 5 BHK at 3,756 sqft. The 5 BHK at ₹1.91 Cr and above is the premium product here. Kovilancheri location breakdown: - Medavakkam main road is 2 km away - Perumbakkam is adjacent – established neighbourhood with good social infra - Sholinganallur is 6-7 km via Medavakkam road - The SIPCOT IT park at Sholinganallur and Perungudi are the employment catchments For 78% open space to work, the density has to be very low. 639 units on 10.76 acres = 59 units per acre. With B+S+5 floors that's actually achievable. Compare to Mercury (84 units/acre) or Suncity (107 units/acre) and you see how different the experience will be. Anyone who's visited the site and can share actual ground-level observations? The RERA registered plots and actual site clearance sometimes differs.

Casagrand Estoria

Casagrand Estoria is one of the more reasonably priced ongoing Casagrand launches in South Chennai. Location: Pudupakkam on the Kelambakkam–Vandalur Road, Chennai 603103. RERA: TN/35/Building/0023/2025. Possession: June–July 2027. Specs from casagrand.co.in: - 331 units across 5.2–6 acres - 2 BHK: 1,234–1,312 sqft → ₹67L–₹71L (₹4,899/sqft) - 3 BHK: 1,537–1,543 sqft → ₹75L–₹82L (same rate) ₹4,899/sqft for Pudupakkam in the Kelambakkam-Vandalur corridor is among the more competitive recent launches. When I compare to Casagrand Suncity at Melakottaiyur (₹5,437/sqft) or Casagrand Holachennai at Sholinganallur (₹6,333/sqft), Estoria's pricing sits below the OMR premium. Pudupakkam location context: - Right on the Kelambakkam–Vandalur Main Road – this road has been widened and is well-motorable - Kelambakkam junction is about 2 km away – the IT park companies near Kelambakkam (Mindtree, CGI, and IT companies in the adjacent zone) are accessible - Siruseri ELCOT is about 6 km via Padur - Vandalur zoo and GST Road are 6-7 km in the other direction - The area has Chettinad Vidya Mandir school nearby – good for families With 331 units on about 6 acres, the density is moderate. June 2027 possession is about 2.5 years from the 2025 RERA registration which is a reasonable timeline for this scale. Notably, this road has both Casagrand Estoria AND Casagrand Selenia (row villas) in adjacent areas. If you're choosing between them: Estoria for apartment lifestyle with lower price point, Selenia for villa format at ₹1.72 Cr+. Anyone tracking this project's construction progress?

G Square Vrindavan

G Square Vrindavan at Singaperumal Koil is interesting because it offers large plot sizes – up to 6,555 sqft – which is rare in gated plotted communities near Chennai. Most communities cap at 2,000-2,500 sqft. If you want a genuine bungalow plot, Vrindavan has options. 450 total plots across 19.51 acres. DTCP approved. Pricing: ₹1,999/sqft onwards. - 916 sqft (minimum) × ₹1,999 = ₹18.3L - 1,500 sqft × ₹1,999 = ₹30L - 3,000 sqft × ₹1,999 = ₹60L - 6,555 sqft × ₹1,999 = ₹1.31 Cr The Singaperumal Koil / Oragadam zone has multiple G Square projects now – Pavillion and Vrindavan are both here. Pavillion is the sports-themed community, Vrindavan appears to be the more traditional gated layout with larger plot options. 19.51 acres for 450 plots = 23 plots per acre. The larger plots mean the density feels lower despite the numbers. Why I'm interested in the large plot option: my plan is a farmhouse-style house with garden, not a multi-unit rental property. The 6,555 sqft plot at ₹1.31 Cr gives me a 60x100 feet piece of land within a secure gated community in a growing industrial corridor – something that's almost impossible to find in GCC Chennai limits anymore. Oragadam industrial zone nearby means the area will develop (infrastructure pressure) but also brings employment that supports property values. The GST Road connectivity makes this accessible from most of Chennai. Has anyone bought a large plot (3000+ sqft) in any G Square community and can share the actual living experience? Do the larger plots get proper utilities?
