Marg Brindavan - Sriperumbudur

2011-02-20T05:48:00.000-08:00

Marg Brindavan, the new project by MARG ProperTies Ltd., had its Bhoomi Pooja today (Feb 20, 2011) at 9 AM at the project site at Pondur near Sriperumbudur,

The price for the 2 bedroom / 3 bedroom apartments at Marg Brindavan starts at Rs.12.7 Lakhs onwards for a 608 sqft apartment and goes up to Rs.22 Lakhs for 1070 sqft apartment. There will be around 1848 apartments coming up in this mega project of which 936 apartments will come up in Phase 1.

Marg Brindavan has a School, Convenio, ATM, Multi-level Car Parking, Clinic, Restaurant, Library, Indoor Games, Swimming Pool and Fitness Centre.

Though Marg Brindavan is a bit far away from Chennai city, the project will work out well for those who work in industrial belt of Sriperumbudur/Irungattukottai and Oragadam.

"The Heritage at Chromepet" - Starts Rs.15 Lakhs onwards

2011-02-20T04:52:00.000-08:00

The Heritage at Chromepet is a new project by Amarprakash which starts at Rs.15 Lakhs for 601 sqft apartment.

The Heritage is coming up Stilt + 4 floors and will offer a total of 171 apartments with 1, 2 and 3 bed-rooms. Features include Gym, Multipurpose Hall, Reticulated Gas Supply, Swimming Pool.

The marketing of this project calling it "The Heritage at Chromepet" is kind of misleading since, the location of the project is well past Chrompet to its East, even past Chennai By-pass Road and Thiruneermalai temple, as shown in the following location map..

Considering that the location of Amarprakash Heritage is well past Chromepet, it is good that the feature list mentions a Convenio, Shuttle Service and Unisex Salon.

Amarprakash Heritage at Chromepet/Thiruneermalai is one of those few projects which comes with a pricing which is affordable for budget conscious buyers. I believe more builders will start announcing projects in this area, that is past the Chennai by-pass Road near Thiruneermalai / Kundrathur, given the proximity to the Chennai city via Chromepet, considering that the regions like Oragadam and Sriperumpudur have seen a lot of action in the recent past.

Considering the relatively affordable pricing, the proximity to industries like Dell, Hyundai Motors, Motorola, Saint Gobain and Samsung, and the fact that more than 75% work is completed, it is a surprise that this project still has unsold stock. Probably buyers expect the rates to be much more lower for this location ?!
