Chennai Real estate Info!!!!

Shanvy,

I have already booked a flat with Jains sudarsana abt 8 months back...at abt 2500 per sq ft, I think..
I am preparing to move in late this year...so trying to get an idea of the facilities and the changes I would have to make...would appreciate inputs from residents around Rajakilpakkam if possible or folks familiar with it.

Hi Shanthi,

Can we imagine how Chennai/India living would be if the following are addressed by the government for approving new Layouts?

1. Main roads should be minimum 100 ft wide
2. Side/sub lanes should be minimum 60 ft to a max of 100 ft
3. Always a minimum spacing of 10 ft open frontage for individual houses and 50 ft for independant apartments (without facilities).
4. Bigger apartment blocks should stick to minimum 100 ft frontage and 30 ft -40ft side open space.
5. Similar to rain harvesting scheme, there should be rule to have minimum bldg height above Sea Level
6. During approval time of layouts, ensuring sewage path, water pipe connection, Telephone line layouts are made ready through underground.


If the initial planning itself, govt accomodates such rules and practises, the environment will be very nature friendly, less pollusion and supports ease of traffic.


Metro/town planning is the basis for making any city dearer to the residents.

Let us dream dream to see this atleast in tier II cities ....!!!

hi leelal,

that was a good lead for a beautiful imagination...

but the truth is far from it.......

me being in south chennai, and observing how things go about, for the past one year.....sorry if i am making the picture look bad..but i have been there..and seen it....

1.the roads are being laid...very few areas, provision for storm drain is considered and is being incorporated....the failure of this can be seen in the thillaiganganagar subway, adambakkam subway always has water dripping from the sides, and there are commuters using the side tracks which are actually for them only but the stagnant water, plus public misuse makes the stench (stink is a mild word) for the people...this is an observation from seeing people using this...i shudder to think of trying this out...

2. there is one 100ft road being laid from gst into mount, into madipakkam the famous medavakkam main road..u should be aware of it...now there are lot of people whose shops, establishments are going to be razed...if only the planning was done in a proper way...

3. now coming to the area where i have my second property...one road is touted as a next main road which goes from the medavakkam main road into chromepet....(not the pallavaram-thoraipakkam 200ft..)...it is under pallavaram sro...and a panchayat.....so what does the panchayat leader do...resign..and then after 2 months i just see constructions everywhere in her name....and all violating those rules...and mind you all these got cmda approval...my big question is how...?? don't we need to analyse and visualise what could happen...or the bigger picture...once bitten twice shy..does not apply to our government..otherwise how can the government enjoy.....

4. there is this builder, who gets to occupy a 2ft excess on the main road in almost all his constructions..i used to wonder how is he able to ...since being new in the area..could not go and question anybody..so one day during one of my walks, i saw the name of the counseller, th wards, the areas painted fresh and put in the appropriate areas...and in find bright paint sponsored by the builder....so that answered my question....

if only things are designed the way you say...it would really be nice.....let us hope there is change. heard that cmda is making some changes...and has stopped giving approvals....so let us wait ......

(These are all my own observations..and not necessarily be acceptible to others...)

Hi Minnu,

Jains builder is known for deviation. Make sure to verify every details and check the approval for floor levels and actual floor levels. Jains have done that in few buildings and there is a lot of issue over it..as far as I heard. Insist on getting a completion certificate from CMDA after handing over the property.

Other than that, I have no idea about this area Rajakilpakkam..Sorry..not one of my areas of house search..

Take care and good luck in your new house,
Geeth Priya.

Need inputs regarding the locality, schools nearby, facilities, builder reputation, water quality etc

Thanks!

Did you buy from Jains in Rajakilpakkam. What rate did u give.

I bought a townhouse (one wall common sharing) from a builder in the same area in June 08. It is under construction and should get over by May 09. I saw Jains building coming up.

I found this area Rajakilpakkam (quite new to me eventhough I am also from Chennai - but stuck to T.Nagar) but with the changes in Chennai, found it worth to do a bit of research. This area is close to Tambaram and connectivity to OMR is good. Sure of appreciation. For schook, Kendriya Vidyalaya is there, very close. You can say even walkable.

I invested in another project in Medavakkam Road, villa, and it has doubled in the last 2 years, I have not even taken possession. I see a lot of improvement in these areas as there is hardly any land in the areas like T.nagar, ashok nagar, kk nagar, virugambakkam- vadapalani areas. They are too crowded and crossing the kodambakkam bridge is a nightmare.

Hi ILs,

I was just going thru this post and itz quite interesting.I guess u people have done a lotta research about Chennai real estate.

Do u have any idea about DABC builders in Anna Nagar?They have most of their flats in Moggappair.We have been offered a 3 bedroom flat for 50lacs..Is it worth?Please throw some light on this.

Regards,
Bhuvana.

bhuvana,

DABC is a nice builder. yes they have all the phases in nolumbur aka mogappair if you want to say that. I remember talking to them for a 2700rs in one their projects.

How much is the area. in which project. I have not seen any three bedrooms in the mithilam. Is it in gokulam, I like the plans of the gokulam.
What is the rate he is quoting now.

Hi Shanthi,

Thanks a lot for your reply.We have finalised(!!!) a 3 bedroom flat in Mithilam.The rate he is quoting is 3200 rs/sqft but has come down to 3120 rs/sqft.It is a 1346 sqft 3 bedroom flat.Do u think itz worth to go for the deal?I saw in the website that they have completed all their projects on time and do not go for much taller buildings.This is something I liked in them.But my chitthi is compelling me to go for a Doshi project.I am totally confused.

I feel that the DABC one will suit for me since

• I do not much inclination towards tall buildings,
• Lotz of good schools r near Moggappair,
• Looks like an IT park is also on the way(I worked for IT),
• Project completion seems to be perfect with DABC.

Please help.

Thanks,
Bhuvana.
