Apartments for Sale in Sholinganallur

The middle of the IT corridor

Sholinganallur grew around a lake and a large road junction, where old village streets now sit beside apartment towers. Office clusters surround it: Perungudi and Thoraipakkam lie to the north, and the SIPCOT parks lie further south along OMR. That steady base of jobs keeps demand for flats here high.

Chennai Metro's second phase is being built along this road towards SIPCOT. When it opens, it should take some pressure off the daily drive. Until then, the junction is congested and metro works add to the disruption.

Buying a finished flat on OMR

A completed home lets you check what you are paying for. Ask for the occupancy certificate and walk through the unit, the lifts and the parking yourself. Ask the residents' association about water supply, maintenance dues and how the building copes with heavy rain.

Drainage deserves attention here. Land near a lake can be low-lying, so ask whether the street or the basement flooded in recent monsoons. For Whispers of Sky, check the TNRERA registration and completion date before you book. Whatever you choose, get a full cost sheet covering parking, maintenance and registration before paying a booking amount.
