Big housing project makes Kattupakkam more attractive destination

Kattupakkam, located midway between Porur and Poonamallee is again the focus of residential housing development. One more company has advertised in The Hindu Property Plus today, a 130 unit apartment project called Jamals Luxor Kattupakkam, at a square foot price of Rs..4,300. This is advertised as being close to both Saveetha Dental College and Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Hospital. (Disclaimer - this is for information purposes only, and we have no links with the promoters, and we do not endorse their offer).

The fact that the new project is proposed close to Kumananchavadi junction shows, again, the growing importance of Kattupakkam. An earlier project is scheduled to be built by Prestige-Ratthas group. It must be noted that the Poonamalee is proposed to connected by the AIADMK government by Mono Rail, while it is also listed as one of the intended destinations for future alignment of the Metro Rail.

The residential developments that are growing in the Kattupakkam area are bound to raise the demand for mass transit connectivity towards both Maduravoyal and St. Thomas Mount.

Porur-Kattupakkam becomes Chennai housing hub

A spate of project announcements in the Porur - Kattupakkam region indicates that this area is fast becoming a housing hub. The completion of ETA STAR's Jasmine Court (see video) in Kattupakkam and occupation of apartments by the residents has spurred greater interest in house-building in this area. It has also kicked-off many services. Now, 280 apartments have been announced at Kattupakkam by the Baashyaam group, over an extent of 3.51 acres, with apartments sizes between 551 sq.ft., to 1676 sq.ft. This project, christened Happy Windows, is on the South Western end of Kumananchavadi, the junction on the Mount Poonamallee Road that leads to Kunrathur on one side, Poonamallee on the other, and to Velappanchavadi to the East. The project has been advertised as a front page jacket ad in The Hindu of today (January 21, 2012)

It would surprise many to know that this area now has major branded retail outlets, banks, telecom services, and, very importantly, the Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Hospital at a distance of about 3 to 5 km, depending on which side of Mount-Poonamallee road you are. All this points to the high value of land and property in Jeeva Nagar, the CMDA-approved layout that was a seed of an idea in 2004, and now hosts over 15 bungalow-type houses and several apartments. The residents are taking up one major issue that affects their quality of life in the layout for some months of year, which is seasonal flooding during the monsoon.
