Chennai
The property values of East Coast Road (ECR) have crossed the mark of Rs 11,000 per sq ft at prime locations near beach and are still appreciating making it a top residential locality of Chennai. Visible expansion of IT/ITeS sector acting as the catalyst in the real estate growth. Revival of demand for luxury villas, increase in property prices and launch of new projects, all this has returned and bucking the Chennai’s submarket.
“Chennai is noting a continuous demand for luxury housing from quite some time now, primarily towards the peripheral locations of the city where premium homes are available at affordable values,” says AP Leo, property consultant at Nucleus Properties. The capital values of premium apartments and luxury villas have noted a hike of 10-15 per cent in past six months. The number of enquiries also showed an upward trend, seeing a hike of up to 25 per cent during the same period. The appreciation in property values can be attributed to the fact that it is primarily end-user driven rather than investors, he added.
The stretch from Palavakkam to Mamallapuram is the key hub seeing exponential demand and supply in the residential sector. These locations house projects in the premium category catering to HNIs, NRI’s and have demand for individual bungalows/villas priced at more than Rs 2 crore.
According to Sree Kumar from Sree Group of Properties, “Rental sector is too flourishing and have noted a significant appreciation of more than 30 per cent in recent past.” The rental values of a fully furnished 4-5 BHK villas/independent houses varies from Rs 60,000-90,000 per month depending on its location and proximity to neighbourhood beach.
ECR strategic situation near to the IT corridor is the major USP of the area. Enhanced demand from expats and HNI’s visiting to city for professional reasons are the major contributor in the upward rental and capital sector. On an average, the capital values at ECR vary from Rs 2,000-6,000 per sq ft depending upon location and connectivity. Residential land is also the next most transacted category after luxury villas, sums up Kumar.
Improved connectivity level, transportation and other infrastructural activities have created spurt in the upcoming housing projects in the suburban areas such as ECR. Looking at the prevailing demand and supply ratio, it is expected that the submarket will continue to witness positive trend in values.
