Casagrand Avenuepark

Casagrand Avenuepark stands in Perungudi, in the south of Chennai. No full street address, pincode, landmark or travel distances have been published, so none are quoted here. Ask Casagrand for the exact site location and the road that leads to the gate before you plan a visit.

Once you know where the gate is, build your test around your own week. Drive from the site to your office at your usual start time, then make the return trip in the evening rush. If children will travel from here, try the school run once on a working day. Note how far you go for groceries, a pharmacy and a clinic.

A low-rise project of 209 homes will not flood the road the way a tower does, but the approach still matters. Visit once in the morning and once after dark to judge traffic, lighting and noise on the neighbouring streets. Because the site is still being built, ask what is planned on the plots next to it, since a new building next door can change light and outlook more than anything inside the gate.

Casagrand Avenuepark has four layouts, each quoted as built-up area. Two bedrooms in the Superior range measure about 1,301 sq ft, and three about 1,659 sq ft. The Pinnacle range offers three bedrooms in about 1,666 sq ft or four in about 2,955 sq ft. The two three-bedroom plans differ by only a few sq ft, so ask what separates them. Carpet areas are not published.

Only the four-bedroom home is on sale with the developer, listed from Rs. 3.19 Crore and a quoted Rs. 9,499 per sq ft. On the listed size, that price comes to about Rs. 10,800 per sq ft, so one figure is out of date or excludes something. The smaller homes can only be bought by taking over a booking from the first buyer.

Because the homes are being built, GST applies to the construction portion; stamp duty and registration are extra. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• The rate per sq ft and the area it is charged on
• What the starred price includes and excludes
• Car parking in the basement and the bays included
• Clubhouse membership, maintenance deposit and corpus fund
• GST as its own line
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value

Casagrand Avenuepark is registered with RERA as TN/29/Building/0419/2024. Look it up on the Tamil Nadu RERA portal (TNRERA) before you pay a token. The entry carries the approved plans, the declared completion date and quarterly progress, which is the best guide to timing until Casagrand publishes a possession date.

For a fresh booking of a four-bedroom home, ask for:

• The RERA certificate and the latest progress update
• The approved building plan showing your unit
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the 4.02 acres
• A draft agreement for sale with the handover date and delay penalty
• The stage-linked payment schedule
• Your bank's approval of the project, if you are borrowing

If you take over a sold booking instead, add the first buyer's agreement and receipts, the developer's statement of account and written consent to the transfer. If the first buyer has a loan, get a no-objection letter from their bank. At handover, take the completion certificate, register the sale deed and move the tax and power accounts into your name.

Casagrand Avenuepark has buildings of just five floors above ground on 4.02 acres, with lawns, gardens and paths filling the space a tower project would give to parking. The developer has not published the share of land left open or the number of buildings. Images you are shown are renders as planned by the developer.

A day might begin with laps on the 50 m race track, a session in the gym with space for crossfit, or a class in the yoga, aerobics and aerial yoga studio. Cycle and pedestrian paths loop the grounds, past a rock garden, a hammock garden, a wind chime garden and tree courts. Older residents have alcoves of their own.

Children get a kids' pool beside the main pool with its rainbow fountain, plus a rock climbing wall and mini golf, and dogs have a pet park. Evenings might mean a barbecue, a picnic lawn, a show at the amphitheatre or a film in the mini theatre or the sky cinema. Indoors there is a double-height lobby, a multipurpose hall, co-working spaces, and a games room for billiards, table tennis, air hockey and foosball.
