DRA Infinique Apartments

DRA Infinique Apartments stands in Ganesh Nagar on Arcot Road, in Valasaravakkam, pincode 600087. This is a long-settled residential part of west Chennai, so you are buying into a neighbourhood that already works rather than one waiting for roads and shops to arrive.

Arcot Road is the spine of daily travel here. Head one way and you reach Vadapalani; head the other and you come to Porur. Virugambakkam and Alwarthirunagar border the area, which helps if your family, school or office is in either. The developer has not published distances or travel times, so drive your own routes at peak hours before you decide.

Life on foot is one of the draws of an older locality. Schools, hospitals and everyday shopping are spread across Valasaravakkam, so short errands need not mean a long drive. The flip side is a busy main road, so check how noisy the front of the block is and whether the flat you like faces the road or the rear. Visit on a weekday evening, when Arcot Road is at its fullest, and see how easy it is to turn in and out of the gate.

DRA Infinique Apartments offers two plans, both with three bathrooms and both quoted as built-up area. The 3 BHK is about 1,837 sq ft and starts at Rs. 2.40 Crore, which works out to about Rs. 13,060 per sq ft. The 4 BHK is about 2,058 sq ft and starts at Rs. 2.75 Crore, about Rs. 13,360 per sq ft. Carpet areas are not published, so ask for them.

What you pay on top depends on the stage question. A flat with its completion or occupancy certificate carries no GST, while one still being finished carries GST on the construction part. Stamp duty and registration apply either way. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Base price and the area it is charged on
• Floor-rise and facing premiums
• Car parking and the number of bays
• Clubhouse charges and the maintenance deposit
• GST, if any, on its own line
• Stamp duty and registration

Get each figure for your specific flat, not for the plan type.

DRA Infinique Apartments still has no RERA number on public record. Ask DRA Homes for it and look it up on the Tamil Nadu RERA (TNRERA) website. The entry carries the promoter's declared completion date, which is the clearest way to square a ready-to-move label with a December 2026 possession date.

Your first question is whether the block has its completion or occupancy certificate. If it does, collect:

• The completion or occupancy certificate
• Approved building plan showing your flat
• Parent title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the 1.15 acres
• Latest property tax receipt
• A draft sale deed with your undivided share of land

If it does not, you are buying an under-construction home. Then ask for the RERA certificate and an agreement for sale that fixes the handover date, the delay penalty and the stage-wise payment plan. At handover, register the sale deed and move the tax assessment and power connection into your name.

DRA Infinique Apartments is compact: one 13-floor block on 1.15 acres, with 76 households sharing the facilities around it. Any images you are shown are as planned by the developer, so ask for the approved site plan and see where the pool, courts and gardens actually go.

Picture an early swim before the traffic starts on Arcot Road, or a session on the activity and yoga deck. The gymnasium in the clubhouse covers the rest of the fitness routine, and the jogging track loops through the landscaped gardens for an evening walk.

Children get a play area outdoors, the sports courts for games after school and a games zone for the hotter hours. The banquet hall is the stand-out for a small building, since it lets you host a family function or a naming ceremony without booking a hall outside. Retail spaces on the premises may save quick trips for small purchases, and the lobby is designed as a proper arrival space. With so few homes, ask how the upkeep of a pool and banquet hall will be shared, because that shapes your monthly maintenance charge.
