Casagrand Highcity

Casagrand Highcity has the Outer Ring Road in Chennai as its only published address. No street, village, pincode or landmark has been published, and there are no distances to offices, schools or stations. The ORR is a long road, so the first step is to get a map pin of the actual gate from the sales team.

Once you have that, plan your visit around your own routine. Drive from the site to your workplace at the hour you would normally leave, then drive back in the evening. Ring roads can move quickly outside rush hour and slow sharply within it, so test both.

A township of 41 acres will feel like its own neighbourhood. The daily trips that matter most leave the gate: office, a hospital with an emergency ward, a larger market and schools other than the one planned on site. Find each one and time the trip.

With thousands of homes planned, ask how many entrances there will be, which one serves your tower, and how traffic will be managed at the gates in the morning. Ask too whether public buses run along this part of the ORR, for anyone in your family who does not drive.

Casagrand Highcity offers three layouts, and the sizes are not labelled carpet or saleable, so ask for both. The 2 BHK measures about 1,109 sq ft and starts at Rs. 58 Lakhs. The smaller 3 BHK measures about 1,291 sq ft and starts at Rs. 67 Lakhs. The larger 3 BHK measures about 1,636 sq ft and starts at Rs. 81 Lakhs.

On those starting prices, the 2 BHK and the smaller 3 BHK both work out to about Rs. 5,200 per sq ft. The larger 3 BHK is about Rs. 5,000. In 22-storey towers, higher floors will cost more than these starting figures.

As the homes are under construction, GST applies on the construction portion. Every purchase also carries stamp duty and registration. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Base rate and the area it applies to
• Floor-rise and facing premiums
• Basement parking and number of bays
• Club membership and the maintenance deposit
• GST on its own line
• Stamp duty and registration

Match the payment schedule to construction stages in your own tower, not to progress elsewhere in the township.

Casagrand Highcity carries RERA registration TNRERA/01/BLG/0156/2026. Look it up on the TNRERA website before you pay a booking amount. Check which towers and how many homes that registration covers, and the completion date it declares, because a township of this size is likely to be registered in stages.

With construction under way, no occupancy certificate exists yet. Ask for:

• The RERA certificate for your tower or phase
• The sanctioned plan showing your tower and unit
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the 41 acres
• A draft agreement for sale with a handover date and a delay penalty
• The stage-linked payment schedule
• A written note on when the school site and sports hub will be delivered

Have a lawyer check the title before you book. On a large, assembled plot, the title often comes from many earlier owners.

At handover, collect the occupancy certificate for your tower and register the sale deed. Then move the property tax and electricity accounts into your name, and join the residents' association.

Casagrand Highcity is planned around open ground. Casagrand speaks of 22 acres of landscaping inside a larger 28 acres left open, with parking pushed into two basement levels so the surface stays free of cars. These areas overlap, so ask for the sanctioned site plan to see the true split. Pictures are renders as planned by the developer.

A morning here might start with a walk in the 3.5-acre tropical forest, then time in the yoga zone. The 6-acre sports hub is the place for evening games. On a hot afternoon, the 21,000 sq ft resort pool is the obvious draw.

There are also zones set aside for dining, gaming and wellness, which gives the township some of the feel of a resort. For families with children, the 2-acre school site could be the biggest point in its favour, if a school is actually built and run there.

With so many households, ask which facilities come with the first phase and which follow later. Ask whether every tower gets equal access to the pool and the sports hub, and how the maintenance charge will be set across a township of this size.
