Kattupakkam-Porur in The Hindu Property Plus - Sobha announces Serene project

Kattupakkam, near Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Hospital, Porur hit the front page of The Hindu Property Plus supplement today.

Sobha Serene, described as a luxury development, has been advertised with a special launch offer. The project is located at Seneerkuppam, which is close to Jeeva Nagar and AUDCO Nagar in Kattupakkam. As per the schematic map published by the developer, the site is on the by-pass from Kattupakkam - Kumananchavadi junction towards Poonamalee High Road. 

Sobha has been prominent in the private property development market in Karnataka and Kerala, with projects in Bangalore and Thrissur. The Sobha Serene project is said to be located on a 3.15 acre site with 8 wings and 176 units ranging in size between 600 and 1740 square feet. 

This is one more indication of the fast-growing importance of Kattupakkam, where the CMDA-approved layout of Jeeva Nagar is located, just 200 metres from the arterial Mount - Poonamalee Road, adjacent to AUDCO Nagar.

Other developments advertised in the Kattupakkam-Porur-Iyappanthangal-Kumananchavadi area (4 km radius from Porur Jn) in The Hindu Property Plus today:

Fully furnished 1,2,3, and 4 BHK "premium" apartments going by the project name of Park Wood, promoted by Antony Projects @ Rs.2790 per sq ft.

Iyappanthangal, ready to occupy flats behind the MTC bus depot, 2 bed-room apartment, Rs. 23 lacs.

Chozha Foundations, ready to occupy 2 BHK at Poonamalee High Road, Kumananchavadi, closer to Savitha Dental College, with 2 lifts.

Opposite Iyappanthangal MTC bus depot, 1,2,3 BHK with covered car park, Rs. 22 lacs to Rs. 40 lacs.

(These are merely indicative of residential housing activity in the area mentioned, and not an endorsement of any project. Buyer Beware. Check for integrity of builder, and whether the area gets flooded in the monsoon.) What we can confirm is good transport connectivity both to Porur-Kattupakkam and Iyappanthangal.

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.
