Properties in Thoraipakkam

Of all the places along OMR, flats in Thoraipakkam put you closest to central Chennai, and that is the first reason buyers look here. The locality marks the northern end of the IT corridor. It lies near the Perungudi office parks and the point where the road towards Pallavaram meets OMR. That position lets you reach the corridor's offices and the older city with less travel than from further south.

The project we list is Radiance Eternity, from Radiance Realty. It offers 2, 3 and 4 BHK apartments, with 215 homes on a 2.21-acre site. The project is under construction, with possession quoted for December 2028. A starting price is not in our data yet, so ask the builder for a written quote. Homes at this end of the corridor tend to cost more than those further south, and you should compare quotes with that in mind.

Getting around is the locality's strength. OMR runs south to the IT offices, and the Pallavaram road link gives you a route west across the city. The metro line now being built runs through Thoraipakkam, which should give you a rail option along the corridor once it opens. Until then, drive your route at peak hour, since this stretch carries heavy traffic.

Weigh the trade-offs. Metro construction brings dust, diversions and slower traffic for now. A compact site of about two acres means fewer open spaces than a larger township. With possession a few years away, read the delay terms in the agreement and ask about the builder's record on earlier projects. Check the project's registration and completion date on the TNRERA portal. Confirm the water supply arrangements. Get a full cost sheet, covering parking, maintenance and registration, before paying a booking amount.

To compare, visit Perungudi next door, which shares the same office parks and gives you another set of options at this end of OMR.
