Chennai April 15 Integrated township, the new phase of real estate development in Chennai, was kicked off with the launch of some projects by prominent developers.

Among a range of projects launched on the Tamil New Year's day are the first integrated township project, Estancia, a joint venture between Arun Excello and L&T; the Hiranandani Upscale, a residential township, by the Mumbai-based Hiranandani Constructions and a lifestyle apartment complex; Puravankara Swan Lake, by Puravankara Projects Ltd.

These promise not just living space but an entire package based on walk-to-work concept with a self-contained community offering features like entertainment facilities, hotels and clubhouse.

Upmarket


These are high-end apartment blocks that cater to the burgeoning segment of the market with large pay packets — those who can afford apartments upwards of Rs 40 lakh.

The promoters say the demand is an indication of the need for quality space — quality not just of construction but also of life. These are projects that are coming up in areas considered among the fast developing sections of the city — the Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) and the industrial belt along the GST Road (NH 45).

Hiranandani Township


Hiranandani Upscale is on the IT Corridor (OMR). This township promises a business hotel, shopping centre, school and entertainment facilities for its residents.

Mr Surendra Hiranandani, Managing Director, Hiranandani Constructions, says his company sees Chennai as a major centre for growth. With the State Government focussing on education and infrastructure, there are increased investments. These in turn will drive the demand for housing. Upscale is for the upper end of the middle-income group segment.

Hiranandani Constructions is looking at more projects that will tap a wider segment of the market, he said. As he sits at the project office, business around him is brisk as buyers go through brochures, layouts and plans. Apartments are being booked fast.

Other projects


The Estancia, the first integrated township project according to its promoters, coming up on GST Road, has in addition to residential apartments, an IT park, retail mall, hotel, serviced apartments, school and residential apartments.

Mr P. Suresh, Managing Director, Arun Excello, the promoters of Estancia, says buyers started coming from six in the morning.

Mr S. Hariharan, General Manager, Developmental Projects, L&T, said that buyers came from a range of sectors, including automobile, manufacturing and IT. A township offers the various amenities and proximity to work space.

Mr Naina Cariappa, Vice President (Mktg & Sales), Purvankara Projects, says Swan Lake offers full fledged, lifestyle apartments. The reception for the project has been "very, very good".

In the pipeline


The Dubai-based ETA Group recently announced plans to set up a 1,500-acre township at Sriperumbudur 40 km south of Chennai at a cost of Rs 12,000 crore. It would have a school, medical centre and golf course.

The Gateway is one such project coming up on GST Road near Tambaram. The project is a joint venture between Shriram Properties and Sun Appollo. Spread over 60 hectares it would have an IT park, retail mall, hotels and serviced apartments.

The Chennai-based Marg Constructions is setting up a 50-acre township at Alathur on the IT Corridor.

I hope it does not stay the tallest for too long :) I guess a 35 storey tower is proposed at the palace garden site : http://www.hiranandanipalacegardens.com/business/index.cfm

I don't know if this is approved.

OK... someone really needs to break into Hiranandani HQ and burn those blueprints.

It was iconic when they built a couple towers of this architecture in Powai.

Dead when they built 30 more.

Now they want to pollute the rest of India with the same uber-expensive architectural mediocrity?

What did Chennai do to deserve this?

It now appears to have reached 15 floors!:cheers:

people should try building in a different shape and with diff look.. ex in infosis bangalore

Yeah, the design is quite stale. I wonder if they've lost all their architects already.

Here are some spectacular views from the 15th Floor of "The Seawood" at Upscale...

Nice updates. Chennai IT corridor south end skyline looks so green.

^^Is that the Buckingham Canal meandering through the meadows? I just can't believe it. (I've never been to those areas, that's why.) It looks excellent. :)

Yes, that's the Buckingham Canal...the cleaner part away from the city. Backwaters in the far South East...

These photos were taken in Dec during the rains. Hence the extra touch of green.

^^Hope they won't pollute these areas atleast. Builders, city planners, and, of course, the people should plan accordingly to stop encroaching the waterspace and the surrounding greeneries. It'd be nice if they maintain this atleast... :)

Thanks Arul for the first hand pics..

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the pics! This should be the tallest standing building in Chennai for the time being right?

yes for the time being. We will have TVH Ouranya Bay (residentail project-30 floors) in Padur in probably 2-3 yrs of time.

Chennai finally touches the quarter-century!!

:righton:

these are cool. very stereotypical of Hiranandani towers.

I think they are branding through buildings also!!

Very nice !!! How are the real estate prices in Chennai ? Stabilizing, going up or going down ?

Looks like Seawood is topped out. Can't link the pic directly. They made is a flash page. http://www.hiranandaniupscale.com/omrprojstatus/project.html

Finally the Chennai's tallest building is done.

Ground+30 floors.

http://i27.tinypic.com/db47.jpg

keep the good hira's. we want many more like this

we have got to give them credit to fight it out against the government officials to approve and allow such high rise buildings in Chennai where they have specific floor space index and other restrictions on skyscrappers and high risers.

Infact by creating 30 floors they are actually forced to have a 200 feet road beside it if I am not wrong.

Those things changed with new masterplan

Well, hope the new skyrise buildings in Chennai could withstand occasional earthquakes/tremors, as well as, to a certain extent, massive tsunamis if any.:)

new masterplan involving IT buildings you mean... right? Yeah, I am still living in the past and must get used to recent amendments to CMDA policies in this hypermodern era.

"to a certain extent, massive tsunamis if any"

Thats the great idea of a high rise building. You'd be safe in its 30th floor during a 30 meter tsunami.

Haha! How generous! But, seriously?

He might be joking:).

BTW it is 2 level basement + Stilt+ 28 floors. Stilt is the portion which is above Ground surface, but open on sides, here it is the 'Ground Floor' that you see.

28 floors would be the 'occupiable' floors, above which there is 'architectural elements' like domes.

Well, hope the new skyrise buildings in Chennai could withstand occasional earthquakes/tremors, as well as, to a certain extent, massive tsunamis if any.:)

I think Chennai is in seismic zone II, which is having 'least to moderate' chance of seismic activity. Buildings by reputed builders would be having a 'structural design' conforming to that Zone.

i am just curious..is there any other building more then 30 floors coming up in chennai now or in the near future?...or is this the maximum height limit allowed...

^^ the TVH Ouranya Bay just a little way further down OMR is to be 30fl tall.. It's currently u/c with one tower about 10 floors tall..

^^ - Long overdue, I must say. Chennai deserved high-rises a long while back. Better late than never, eh? :applause:

I guess Hiranandani's bigger project near Tambaram may go even taller, I sure hope it does.

is this the maximum height limit allowed...

i think last year they changed the restriction from 40 to 100 floors.......pls do correct if am wrong...

^^ not to 100 floors.. there's no height limit now...

For people not familiar with the geography of this part of Chennai, the first 2 pics are taken looking East and South-East respectively - you can see the Buckingham Canal backwaters in the foreground (lovely deep blue), and then the greenery around the East Coast Road and beyond, there's the Bay of Bengal.. In the third pic, the view is towards the North and you can see where the backwaters gradually end while the Buckingham Canal continues on to the city..

And again, all pics copyright Hiranandani Upscale..

I paid a visit to the site today, under the guise of checking out for bookings. The project updates you see is of Phase I.

Phase I has 6 towers (28 floors each) and is expected to be handed over by June 2011.

Phase II has 3 buildings: Bayview (36 floors - the tallest), Edina (31 floors) and Oceanic (28 floors) and the construction will commence in March 2011

The model flat looks good.

^^ Whats the cost per sqft?

The smalest flat starts from 1.1 crore. (Kasuketha Dosai). I should appreciate them for bringing some real good quality to Chennai. A different breed of builders altogather.

I thought they were quoting 4500 per sq ft....The smallest unit they sell is 1100 sq ft. How does that translate to Rs. 1.1 crore for the smallest flat?

^^ 36 floors ... ?! Is this talllest residential building U/c in chennai ???

^^ Thread heading says it is 28 floors :dunno:

Mods, please change the thread title to

Egattur OMR | Hiranandani Upscale | 36fl x 1 | 31fl x 1 | 28fl x 7 | u/c


The minimum unit space is 1295 sq ft (2BHK). The rate for that is Rs. 4750 per sq. ft. It comes out to be Rs. 1.2 crore overall. Looking at the quality of the model flat, it's worth every paisa.

I wish I can afford it at some point of time ;)

Is that the tallest res. in chennai ??? OR any other building is u/c or planning ??

I dont get it. It comes out to 6151250. Registration charges is 9%. So it is close to 67 lacs. Maybe they are selling CCP and club membership extra, say 3 lacs. Then it should be 70 lacs. How come the units starts at 1.2 crores? The difference of 50 lacs is baffling.

Some of the Misc charges are

1) Parking - 3.5 lakhs
2) Electricity/water etc - 1L
3) Service Tax - 2L
4) Infrastructure Tax -1L?
5) Documentation Fee - 50K
6) Floor rise charges ( I believe its Rs 50 per floor starting 1st floor !!!!! )

plus few others. Builders are quite creative with this. Hira will probably add 15L to regular charges at minimum with high end being 30L more.

^^
Even then it comes to only like 75 or 80 lacs at the max. Unless they have paintings of a famous artist on each apartment, this valuations is crazy.

Why would I put 1.2 crores on an apartment in the middle of nowhere when I can easily buy one for that money bang in the middle of the city. There are 1000 sq.ft apartments for that rate in areas like Nungambakkam, Annanagar and Adayar. After all price of a property is the function of its rent. In Chennai, currently you can get a yield of 4-6% for residential properties (some localities have much higher yields but they are exceptions). By that measure, these apartments should yield atleast 40K rupees p.m. They wont even give 10 - 12K provided you manage to find someone to rent it to.

If 1.2 crores is the cheapest, I wonder what is the rate of the most premium flat and which sucker buys that one!

@TShyam: Sorry, my mistake. A 3BHK on the 36 floor tower, on the 15th floor tallies to 1.2 crore. The price for the example I gave would be 82.35L, and it's a 2BHK. As for the pricing, Hira definitely has a reputation for quality and luxury, I guess that's the reason.

@Darkprinz: I think BayView tower (36fl) in this township will be Chennai's tallest for the time being. TVH Ouranya Bay is 33 floors, I guess. Not sure about Tata's project in Oragadam.

Sea view extra charge and Floor Rise extra charges. As you go higher and on the east side. the cost reaches the peak.

@Darkprinz: I think BayView tower (36fl) in this township will be Chennai's tallest for the time being. TVH Ouranya Bay is 33 floors, I guess. Not sure about Tata's project in Oragadam.

AFAIK, TVH Ouranya Bay doesn't exceed 29 floors. Dunno if it was a new addition. And one (hotel) tower in Ozone's Metro Zone project is 31 floors high, I believe.

^^ Hi, Rasnaboy, long time.

The thread says TVH Ouranya Bay is 30 floors

Welcome Back Rasnaboy

Both Upscale & Ouranya Bay have got 100 metres height clearance. This means upto Ground + 32 floors max. With Lift Head Room and other architectural elements at the top, they may have restricted to 30 floors.

^^ Kannan sir any building under design/proposal .. which is taller than these ???

Thanks for the cheers IndianSun and ChennaiDesi. Was frequently out of town, so couldn't participate that very often. :)

The Hiranandani Upscale School, a CBSE and international Baccalaureate programme based education venture from Hiranandani Upscale, has opened its facility in Chennai.

Admissions for the academic year 2011-12 for classes KG to 7th are now being accepted for the CBSE curriculum.

According to a press release from Hiranandani, the school is located within the integrated community of Hiranandani Upscale, on the Old Mahabalipuram Road. It brings with it top class environs, faculty, vision and facilities that have made their schools at Powai and Thane in Mumbai, rank among the top ten schools in Mumbai.

The School is designed to meet the needs of children from the time they start kindergarten right through higher to secondary level.

The school has international standard infrastructure including spacious classrooms, libraries, large playgrounds, swimming pool and laboratories. Hiranandani Upscale School will also provide training in music, dance, indoor- outdoor and water sports.

^^

gr8. Opaline, Hiranandani, DLF garden city and few more huge housing apartments at Padur, Kelambakkam will get ready by this year end. By 2011 end I guess OMR i.e far of Sholinganallur towards Mahabs would become as the prime residential area for the professionals working in IT corridor.

Boy! this place is simmering. Looks like a great place in the future. I only wish Hiranandani dont make the same designs. All their buildings looks good but the repetition makes it boring.

I wouldn't take a risk of staying at that height with so many earthquakes hitting all over the world in the last few years!!!:ohno:

During a big earthquake a badly built structure can collapse in 5 to 8 seconds. It will take about 10 seconds for a human to realize it is an earth quake and a few more seconds to take protective action like going under a table or run outside. Hence ones chances are very minimal. It doesn't matter whether you are in the ground floor or the 100th floor. Yes! the shocks are felt more as you go higher as I have felt (2004) it as I was staying on the 14th Floor in Chennai. A multistorey building will resist a reasonably strong earth quake than a single or double storey buildings.

In case of a tsunami where would you prefer to stay :)

lol you are thinking too much. People die when the ceiling falls on their head. Why care if it is one ceiling or a bunch of ceiling? Unless he lives in motta madi, (or he is really a superman as indicated in his profile pic) he will meet his creator if an earthquake big enough hits.

kitten thambi you will live or die as per ur destiny whether it is natural calamity or otherwise.U can die even in single storey house or kudisai if any heavy thing fall on your head or other vital parts of ur body as it happened in the earthquake in Bhuj.how can a person living in motta madi escape. will he float in space defying gravity.

When is this project finishing?

Hiranandani has no creativity at all.. Man, they just use the same design for every project of theirs!! :bash:

You are right. they have not moved out of their creative realm and checked out new designs but their quality cannot be matched.

Hiranandani has no creativity at all.. Man, they just use the same design for every project of theirs!! :bash:

lol...i was about to type that....saves a lot of money you know....all their projects are designed by some nut named hafeez contractor.

Also, I wonder if anyone would buy flats that are almost 50 kms from the city. same with tata crescent lake and marg swarnabhoomi, that is also tooo far, around 70 kms. Wonder who wants to buy apartments so far from the city.

^^ Any idea when they topped out?

I think phase 1 got completed some months back. Just painting and other stuff being done on it.

This is was shot in June last year and the tall structure far away resembles this complex

Hiranandhani location on OMR is near the epicenter of New Chennai.

^^sigh...the term 'new chennai' is highly disturbing. In 50 years time, if I have children, they would also be highly disturbed when pondicherry becomes 'new chennai.'

I had the same thought three decades back when the land prices were going cheap in Tiruvanmayur,Velachery and chinmayanagar and flats were available at a cheap price at ashoknagar, vadapalani.At perungundi lands in acres were sold at a throw away price of Rs25,000/- per acre.I missed all these opportunities.most middle class tamilians miss opportunities to amass wealth with these sort of doubtful,fearful mindset.risk taking ability is almost ZERO.

^^ that's true with all middles class ppl, irrespective of tamilians. they don't have enough balance to afford and take the risk, that's why they are called middles class.

^^A wise person would buy land and not a flat for investment purposes.

Having been in the business, my advice would be

As Investments:

If you have money or can manage to borrow enough, buy a piece of land. You may not get finance / loan from a bank for this. The appreciation will generally be very good over a long period. So it is a Long Term Investment.

On the flip side, how to protect this from encroachers or goons is a major issue. Finding a suitable buyer at a later date may be a minor issue.

If you are eligible to get a housing loan but not confident enough to buy a land, buy a flat - may be away now but has the potential to appreciate later -

EMI can be taken care of through rent and from the other normal earnings and over a period, you own a flat at a higher value. Disposing a flat is comparatively easier than a land.

The ROI on a Flat is much less compared to Land but safer.

or alternately buy in gated communities like the ones promoted by those layout walas. It ensures safety and your next generation would appreciate your timely investment act.

Also, I wonder if anyone would buy flats that are almost 50 kms from the city.

Most of these construction takes place only after booking! There are huge no. of takers for these flats from professionals working on IT corridor....

If not for investment purpose it is for the

1. high susidy given by companies
2. Income tax savings
3. Work near home - 10-15min rather than horrible 1 to 2hrs travel from core city
4. More peaceful, non-congested atmosphere.

^^A wise person would buy land and not a flat for investment purposes.

Exactly my thought... I would buy a land in Chengalpattu and build a house there...

But imagine a person whose native is very very far from Chennai, why he would invest in land? rather he will buy an apartment use it for 8-10years and sell it back or rent it out while moving to the city near to his native.

Folks you can't clear the road just because Hirandani is coming in the opposite fo this place. Everyone rich or poor has the right to live.

^^ I think he was talking about the state of the road, garbage, stray dogs etc?

FF is right. I was referring to the poor state of the road and not the potti kadais opposite huge towers. Bro, we have been paying toll tax to use this road for years and this is what we get in return? The govt was supposed to complete six-laning the road till Kelambakkam about five years ago. Here is a video of what we were promised and the pic above shows what we get.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYqo2OEvHTY

The only thing common between the video and a real drive through OMR is the existence of toll plazas :bash:

.:nuts:

Your post were based on one photo! Just look at it again, the garbage is heaped together. That place is not within city limits. Municipality collects garbage. By your logic only poor throw garbage in the street?

Also naxals in TN were beaten to death by its police force and its people themselves not by any leaders.

It is a common sight that rich people going in cars throw wastes on the streets. Rich or poor, every one has to change

Strange!!! Tripura is mentioned as South region. Is this govt approved data? Well in this case I wont go by these figures too and so the arguments stand nullified. Even if Hyd becomes Big Daddy of the South, Chennai would've become the Big Grand Daddy by then. So I request you to stop these kiddish claims and post some sensible comments with authentic proof

Though old pic! It is quiet nice.

i heard it has two basement floors also. So including that it would be more than 100 meters right?

Always the height specified is from GL to top of the building.

Basements not counted for height. If they give only car park in Basement, then it is not counted for FSI also.

LIC was around 177 feet or maybe about 54 meters. That was done on 1959. So 50 years later we now have a 100 meter building. I am sure in another 50 years we will see a 200 meter building. Slow but steady progress. But even if it takes 500 years we will never see a Taipei or Petronas range i guess. Sad indeed.

Mr.Vinodgopal, can't you get Kannan Sir's message clearly???

What is the use of having a Burj or Petronas kind of building useless without any occupancy?

Is it just to boast to the world that chennai also has a 100 floor building

Uselessness = Nonexistence - why so?

Uselessness = Nonexistence - why so?

just a logical quick reply. In 1959 LIC cost only 1 crore in the making. It was the tallest building in India during then. At that time people were like why this biggie that will be almost always empty. Now in 50 years LIC building is obsolete. So considering the future this is not a big deal as we are a 6 million populous central district. The occupancy will fill by itself and it is not like a chronologically perishable entity like a latest movie release. They are assets. Even considering the inflation, constructing it today will hedge against inflation for the future as during then the construction cost would be frightfully high. USA constructed several skyscrappers when money value was low and so it stands the test of time. But the same buildings done now would cost them a fortune.

Vinod, Yes who will fund and give money if there is no occupancy. Only big shots like Hirannadani can afford this luxury of building and then waiting for customers.

Vinod, Yes who will fund and give money if there is no occupancy. Only big shots like Hirannadani can afford this luxury of building and then waiting for customers.

most businesses have the model where they consider a breakeven period and mostly public equities, private equities, bank loans, funds from existing deposits and other portfolio conversions like stocks and shares sold for the cause raise a few hundred crores for a visionary and he would not be submerged in debts or something. What we wont know is funds from drug trafficking, smuggling, brothels, casinos, dadagiri, pubs, bars and so on are also involved to escape tax authorities and police investigation in most major projects.

Ofcourse that kind of stuff is common in Bombay as that city has an underworld network remote controlled by a few dons who at this time as i type are jalsa-ing with jalaja. So why would they care?

Yeah. Seems like it is confirmed. The Website (http://www.hiranandaniupscale.com/realestate/township.php?id=24) also mentions the new name though it uses the old URL. The new name sucks. Upscale sounded cool.

Any new pictures ?. Thanks for all the excellent work in keeping all of us updated.

House of Hiranandani brings fibre-to-the-home to Chennai (http://www.mydigitalfc.com/telecommunication/house-hiranandani-brings-fibre-home-chennai-460)

Real estate developer House of Hiranandani has partnered with Sterlite Technologies to provide fibre-to-the-home technology (FTTH) at its properties. The technology has been set up at the realtor’s upcoming property in Chennai, for the first time in the country, senior company official said. Hiranandani’s projects in Bengaluru and Mumbai would also have the complete internet-protocol (IP)-based communication and security infrastructure in the future.

“Most realtors consider only roads, drainage and gardens as part of infrastructure. To us, communication (broadband) is a critical part of the whole set up,” said Joseph Martin, vice president, IT, Hiranandani group of companies.

“With FTTH, our customers would get cable TV, DTH, telephone, internet and various intranet services within the campus at high speeds. We are also providing tablet PCs to every household to access services such as emergency (hospitals), school records, games and video calling within the campus.”

FTTH provides high-speed last mile connectivity. Service providers (SPs) would give their connections to residents of Hiranandani township through the local FTTH hub. SPs face the last mile connectivity issue at far off locations such as Hiranandani’s Upscale on the IT Corridor in Chennai, which is well outside the city. Customers never get promised broadband speeds at these locations.

This technology would solve the problem, Martin said. It would also provide access to services within the campus such as video door phone, surveillance and automated parking. SPs and Sterlite would share revenue from the set up. Hiranandani’s part is restricted to finishing civil work and laying cables within the campus. Martin refused to divulge details regarding investments in the project.

Under the draft National Telecom Policy 2011, the government has highlighted broadband as a basic necessity. The idea is to make networks capable of higher speeds so as to eventually move towards a level where broadband can be a “right for all citizens.”

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recommended the telecom ministry to coordinate with the ministry of urban development to ensure that the National Building Code is aligned to facilitate deployment of fibre in buildings. For faster rollout of broadband connections, TRAI has recommended the department to encourage infrastructure providers to provide FTTH.

“Moreover, the technology also saves costs and rework for builders. Normally, individual service providers would set up their own lines within apartments. Most builders provide limited conduits for cables, which get blocked soon, creating hassles for residents when they opt for new service providers. This way, only one box is required in the premises and customers can pick and choose their service providers for high speed connections,” Martin added.

Hiranandani’s Upscale township on the IT Corridor in Chennai is spread across 110 acre. It consists of some of the city’s tallest high rises of 28 floors with over 2,000 apartments. Every home of the township would get communication connections with 40 Mbps of reserved local band scalable up to 1 Gbps on demand.

I am sure there is someone who understands this better than me. Please educate me.

I have recently purchased a new apartment in Besant Nagar. When I enquired about water, electricity and sewage, my builder informed me thus.

Water - Metro Water will be available. However, Metro Water will only provide one pipe for one door number. We will do RO and have water treatment plants for re-use, but the available water will only be from one pipe. CMDA has banned borewells within city limits. Hence, this is not an option.
While CMDA approval is given to complexes like Hiranandani and DLF, this does not seem to include an approval of water from all flats from any water authority.
I calculate water requirements for an individual as around 500 litres / day (global average ~1000). With 1000 apartments and four per apartment, how is water being planned for?
If I am planning to have water lorries, OMR will be clogged with them. I already see a lot of them coming even to places like Perungudi and Thoraipakkam.


Electricity - The better ones seem to be providing a transformer. However, again this is only a step-down transformer. Recently one builder told me that they had allocated 5KVA / household. I was amused.
If you provide me 220V, 3 phase with a 32Amp carrying capacity, it is quite clear how much I can draw. I don't know how the builder can allocate power.
Again, during summer, a flat like Hiranandani will have AC's running in all the bedrooms. A common AC probably consumes around 1000-1500 Watts. If I run three AC's and a water heater, I require about 6000 Watts (6 KVA). Now, if I have 1000 apartments, I require a theoretical power of 6MW. Assuming that I provide for 50% utilization, I require 3MW. Will TNEB provide this? How is CMDA providing approval for this? Of course, if TNEB understands that this is a zero-sum game since these people would have lived somewhere else, then they would be inclined to oblige. I dont know how they would approve this when we are not able to power our new airport

Sewarage - Maybe this can be solved by having a sewage treatment / septic tank.

L&T is probably the only apartment now with scale in the outskirts. How are these things working out? Current residents?

CMDA approval seems to be primarily on land-use. Separately water and TNEB approval needs to be obtained. Prestige has plans for 2800 apartments in Porur. Seems to be selling like hot-cakes.

Please educate

@ rapuramuser:

Let me explain & help you. This is for City Corporation area where you have all infra in place.

CMWSSB ( Metrowater) gives only one connection per building (irrespective of no of flats). The dia of the pipe is calculated based on the volume which has to be transferred from the main pipeline (which runs along the road) to your flats sump.

In Chennai, the water is not metered in all areas. The residents association has to pay a fixed sum based on the no of dwellings. You also pay a water tax on top of the fixed charges. That will be a % age on the property tax, which you will pay.

Sewerage is also similar. Only one connection per building irrespective of the number of flats. But the dia of the pipe will be designed as per the real use. There will be a chamber , in front of the building below the road to which your sewer pipe will be connected. No treatment plant is required to be installed as Besant Nagar sewage is taken to Perungudi CMWSSB STP Plant for treatment.

Reg alternate water than Metrowater, Bore wells are allowed generally but with a permission. In Besant Nagar & Thiruvanmiyur, salt water has ingressed to a large extent into the land almost upto Shastri Nagar areas. So the corporation dissuades borewells but only deep ones. (beyond a certain depth). If your building uses ground water, RO plant is a must.

Electricity: Only step down transformer is required The builder is supposed to calculate and submit a detailed power requirement for all the flats in the whole building including common areas, swimming pool etc and install as per the allowed parameters. If he does not comply, power connection will be refused.

I am surprised that your builder has goofed up here. MES is generally very strict on this.

Anyhow the builder makes you pay all the bribes for water, sewerage & the EB. What is his problem to under design ?

Thanks Kannan for the detailed response.

I misspoke on the transformer. Our builder does provide for one. I did not realize that this was absolutely essential for all apartments.

Much appreciated. While I understand how it works within the CMDA limits for smaller communities, I am still not sure how it applies outside these limits or for very large communities. Metrozone will probably fall into a large community. Will a single pipe (even at the maximum metro-water diameter) provide for all the homes?

On the outskirts (outside CMDA), How will Hiranandani or Prestige provide for water, sewerage and power? They do claim CMDA approval. Will CMDA approval immediately provide for these? Where will water come from in OMR? If borewells are allowed, these new developments will deplete the water table very quickly. If I use watertanks, I probably need in the 500's / day.


Will TNEB agree for 5MW power for a 2000 apartment complex?

Thank you in advance for your time and explanations.

Outside Corporation/ Municipal limits, where is the infra provided by the Corp ? :lol:

All the Townships mentioned by you and others coming up outside will have to arrange on their own

water supply, sewerage disposal, solid waste disposal, roads from the near by Main roads, Power lines & towers from the nearby Sub station to the sub station inside the township or the transformer yard.

Govt will not provide any thing mentioned above but it collects upto Rs. 100 per sft towards Infra charges.

So they have to install / erect giant bore wells and giant sumps to store bought out water, Sewerage Treatment Plants, Sub Stations, Gensets etc.

Govt is not even having Fire & Rescue Service Trucks, snorkels & personnel to reach the Multi Storeyed building in emergency.

Estancia on GST Road provided space for Fire Station inside and also donated trucks.

Thanks Kannan. That was crystal clear. The implications of what you said are quite scary.

1) Water - If there is no ground water or if it runs out, these communities need to procure water. At an average of 500 litres / day / person, a family of 4 will consume one water-tanker every week. I don't know what the cost of a 12,000 litre tank is, but I am sure that is quite expensive. Of course, we are assuming that massive storage capacity is provided for.

2)Power - I understand from some folks that it costs a crore / pole if you want to bring your own power. Will all developers spend as much to bring in power? Do they cost these into their budgets? Will they bring in a high capacity line?

Genset will leave you at 15 Rs. / unit as opposed to 4 Rs. / unit (max). The operational expense of a family will be a lot. Will someone at Hiranandani live without an AC?

Installing solar panels where the area is quite large might mitigate some of these problems. With the lowered costs of panels, this is cheaper than a genset.

3) Waste - This seems like the easiest to solve. Septic tanks, solid waste management and sewer treatment is within the control of the community. They don't require the help of any govt agency.

4) Safety - Your point on absence of fire-station and fire-fighting is downright scary.

Que:

a)Do all developers provide all of this? The majority of the RE discussions I read online seems centered around delays in handing over & construction quality. Else it is around sq.ft cost, OSR, facilities etc.

b) There seems to be no agency that mandates basic infrastructure. Should we expect flag-waving residents to sit before collectors office in the next few years? What is a way out?

Maybe I am just naive and discovering all of this just now. :) The discussions I have read on this forum are quite objective and show nuanced understanding of several issues. Thanks again Kannan.

How come the authorities give permission to construct huge townships with multistorey apartments and does not provide water sewerage and fire fighting support.Is the state govt violating rules?When builders are penalised for deviation how can the authorities concerned go scot free?If u are scary do not purchase flat in chennai.

@ rapuramuser:

Ranga is so pessimistic always. Don't listen to him. :lol:

Even Hyderabad does not have Fire Snorkels for such heights.:bash:

@ your Questions & Doubts:

All the integrated township developers provide huge Borewells and RO plants in addition to provison for storing bought out water in case of shortage.

Please note all the extra costs mentioned by you for constructing Infra is part of the cost and already included in the price.

The maintenance charges which will be for common utilities & security etc, water etc will be collected every month - from Rs. 2 to 10 per sft depending upon the luxury level. Mentioned along with the cost of flat.

They also collect a corpus fund initially and keep that as deposit in the name of Association / Society approx Rs. 1 to 5 Lakhs depending on the luxury. Mentioned along with the cost of flat.

Except Fire safety issue for MSBs, all are okay and within the control.

All the integrated township developers provide huge Borewells and RO plants in addition to provison for storing bought out water in case of shortage.
I differ you sir...
builders doing "just" namesake...their implementation is worst. since they can get "cerfiticate" by other means, they are not implementing properly..

Water supply, Sewage "was", "is", "will" be a problem in these big skyscrapers.

Let the people move in.. then they will know the real piciture..

Kris,

Please do not pass comments like this without any specifics.

I am working with a number of developers in Chennai and other cities and I have not come across a single case where they promised and did not do.

The procedure is very elaborate and they can not cheat. Not only the DTCP ? CMDA, Union Enviro Min & TNPCB are also involved.

Most of the reputable builders like DLF, Hiranandani etc have experience working in areas outside the city limits. They have done their home work before even starting their projects. I am sure they have already envisaged the problems of the past , present and the future. Let us stop being negative without getting our facts right. Even if there were a problem the builders now cannot wash off their hands after handover like they have done in the past.

Even if there were a problem the builders now cannot wash off their hands after handover like they have done in the past.

So the reputed builders provide warranty (building structure/roofs) like in US?

If so for how many years?

some chennaintes or tamilnaduians are underestimating the potential of chennai as observed from their postings.The following news may bring back optimism.While outsiders take advantage of investments in a growing city like chennai generally the natives miss the investment opportunities and regret later as it happened to people missing the bus in eighties and ninties.

GOOD TIME TO INVEST





Chennai's residential property market has this past year experienced a steady growth in terms of its pricing and offerings. Primarily an end-user driven market, Chennai's developers have been able to retain and attract new customers with consistent pricing.

While it is expected that interest rates will decrease over the course of 2012, this will result in greater demand for housing in 2012. “The demand for real-estate is on an upward curve this year, also with the softening of the interest rate, there will be a positive impact on pricing and it is definitely the best time to invest in property,” says Siva Krishnan, Head - Residential Services (Chennai) Jones Lang LaSalle India. Apart from OMR, ECR, Mogappair, Sriperumbudur, Poonamalle, Ayyapanthangal, some of the areas to look out for are, “Perungudi, Medavakkam, Pallavaram, Porur, Chromepet, Tambaram are the best areas to invest this year. Due to the affordability index of real-estate in the central areas being high, there is a definite shift towards areas a little further away,” he adds.

S Prabakar, managing director, S&P Foundation echoes the sentiment. “Chennai has generally been a very good market when compared to Hyderabad and Bangalore. It is only going to pick up further.”

Affordable housing has been given space in the Budget 2012 – 13, with the government allowing for External Commercial Borrowing. This will provide extra capital for builders and the developers in the low cost housing sector. The one percent subsidy on interest rates for houses costing up to Rs 25 lakhs or for loans up to Rs 15 lakhs is seen as a welcome move from the developers. D. Pratish, managing director, VGN Developers, says, “Yes, this is a very good incentive for developers in the low cost housing sector. Even though the raising of service tax and excise duty is a hurdle, this comes as a small relief for both the developers and the buyers.”

Home buyers have a reason to feel optimistic this year. For one, the RBI seems to have gone on a reducing spree on account of the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR). CRR is the portion of money that the banks have to keep with the central bank. Reducing the CRR means there will be more cash on hand for the bank to lend. Hot on the heels of slashing the CRR by 0.5 percent in January, the RBI further slashed it by a 0.75 percent, thereby injecting around Rs 42,000 crore of liquidity into the system. This frees up more money for the banks to lend.

S Vasudevan, president, Embassy Group about interest rates, “There might be more money available for the banks to lend, but whether this translates into more people coming forward to take housing loans really depends on the interest rates.”

But more positive news is in the offing. “Post budget, people are deferring their purchases because there is a slight chance that the interest rates might come down. What is 10.5 to 11.5 percent might be reduced to 9.5 to 10.5 percent interest for housing loans. We just have to wait and watch”, he adds.

Moving to the Suburbs
http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-propertyplus/article3264268.ece

With residential space at its peak in the city, consumers can now invest in property in the suburbs. The increased demand for housing in Chennai is seeing the city expanding towards the suburbs. Also, with better infrastructure and connectivity to the city it's no longer unusual to live and invest in the outskirts. All the major builders have gated communities, high-end apartments, villas and bungalows on offer. There is definite shift in lifestyle preferences amongst the people of the city and amenities like gym, pool, landscaped gardens attract customers.

hiranandani upscale (http://www.houseofhiranandani.com/projects/index.php?id=24)

^^TFS ..I think the hiranandani project was a landmark project in Chennai ...with respect to height .... i sincerely hope the builders go 'vertical' and not 'horizontal' in the times to come...Expecting atleast around 300-500 mid-sized ( 30-50 storey) skyscrapers/residential units in Chennai in ten years time...

someone needs to tell some of the designers that they should get rid of the stuff on top. It is really tacky! Like for Brentwood, it would have looked so much better if they cut the building right where the yellow cone starts.

Wow CP great and this is truly world class. Taking City apartments market to next level.
The problem with Chennities and also TN guys it is not that they dont have money but there never experienced this kind of luxury and that's why the conservative attitude and being simple etc etc.
I hope once they visit their friend living here then they might be willing to pay more and it will bring lot of luxury investment for chennai.

30 is not skyscraper 50 could be. Just call them highrises. For i dont want someone to think we have some patronas towers or Empire state building in Chennai. Thats an insult to Chennai for we are conservative and we wont progress to those heights. Ok ok i know Kannan sir will kick my butt by saying hey there is a radar/SONAR problem, the green folks inside the UFO's cannot reach us if there are high rises and skyscrapers and we need a hundred thousand years to rectify this issue, i dont care. Simply we are the horizontal city and the conservative city. Our citizens will just pick a 50 paise coin in the road seconds before a speeding truck misses them by a 0.0000005 of an inch. Oh ofcourse we then say we have had a lucky day.

Dont change Chennai for what it is. We are proud to be disorderly and non-progressive. End of discussion. Now dont make me angry by criticizing Chennai. I will kick your south side of the north facing horse bringing in a patriot like Vicvin or CP.

Got it?:bash:

Great pics, CP!! :)

sour grapes story:lol:Mostly chennaivasis of other tongues bought in to this place.Otherwise given the general attitudes here they would not have gone for so many towers in the first go itself and wisely halted further expansions for now.I know many of our tongue harbour suspicions and doubts whenever outsiders set up big projects here in chennai and make comments discouraging some and make people land in some inferior residential projects promoted by some locals.I will disagree that Chennaites or for that matter tamilnaduians particularly the majority tongue lack money.They do have but have no heart for luxurious living becos they always harp on the future for their progeny and don't want to splurge money now and the cycle continues.

^^ Simple lifestyle and/or living a fnancially conservative lifestyle is not a crime sir :)

Well ranga sir, if this conservativeness results in building best human capital, results in balanced thinking and appreciates peaceful co-existence, results in putting your state in top league in industrial development, literacy, healthcare and medical facilities, then, what's wrong in being conservative? and if you think that not showing off one's wealth is conservativeness, so be it, we would like to continue to be conservative.

I feel Being conservative is a good behaviour / attitude.... Instead of lavish spending and crying later, that opportunities are missed earlier etc...
Many of my Blore friends are saying that they wasted lot of money and that they should have invested before 2005 in RE market

what " conservative" are you people talking about? Being frugal is one thing and being conservative is another. Also having "values" is also different from being conservative. One can be frugal and at the same time progressive or modern as well. My view wrt to lifestyle is that if one is not willing to adopt to changing times which may alter his lifestyle for the good , only then should he/she can called conservative.

Hira (or any high rise buildings) are a lifestyle selection and not a good investment is not right. It is not like a luxury car which depreciates.

Apts are same as independant houses. Both are good investments and not waste of money.

In City you cannot have houses as land is expensive. In Suburbs it is diffcult to live outside gated communities. Apts are the way of future. Chennai people already are aware of this. TN folks will also realize it soon.

I bet people who bought Hira Powai in 2004 might be laughing at this, if we say that High rises and gated communities are waste of money.

Kannan might delete my post saying it is speculation. I will not include numbers hence.

as of last month they said only some available in 22+ floors and only 10 floor and down available in the under construction towers.

as of last month they said only some available in 22+ floors and only 10 floor and down available in the under construction towers.

Upper floors in Phase I is sold out - resale market only.

There are units in Phase II available, but they are bigger sizes (> 2K sqft) and hence ticket size is much bigger.

Seagull is their most luxurious, high end building. They have not sold many units in higher floors. Higher floors are reseved for pent houses of 5K sqft and even 10K sqft.

I do not think the next phase with sea facing buildings (Marina, Octavius) will have smaller units, might be like Seagull with premium and exclusive club houses, pool and other features.

Which is the large u/c building visible in this pic? Novotel?

^^

Novotel is the u/c building at extreme left in back ground.

The u/c huge building in the center must be some apartments.

The u/c building near Hiranandani must be the 36 floor building of this project.

Nice Pics CP.
But don't they have any other new design to offer? All Hiranandani buildings look very similar.

Hafeez Contractor is the Architect who designs like this to speed up the construction with large windows and openings and to minimize the dead load and of course cost .

Every hiranandani project I have seen in Bombay and Chennai have same design, like a photocopy.

Even DLF looks alike. Think Hafeez is involved in that too..

Hafeez design Hira,DLF,XRBIA in similar design for speedy construction involving "forming " tools for repetitive high rise floors . Hence choice for variety of Architecture is missing due to Builders pre requisite.

How many yrs will take for this backwater to become like Coumn or Adyar? :nuts:

Much quickly in chennai then other places.

I have saved the photo in my computer so I can show my children how clear the canal/backwater was once upon a time.

I recommend others to do the same when they come across endangered species/nature.

Ok! got your point but... making cosmetic changes so that the buildings dont look like they are from a production line does not need great effort but only needs the right mind.
