In 2013, Chennai witnessed more than 13,000 new residential unit launches and which is a decline of 38 per cent compared with 2012 and this was due to availability of ready-to-occupy residential products in many micro markets like Rajiv Gandhi Salai, Grand Southern Trunk Road and some parts of North Chennai.
@Gurmeet: almost 1 million sft of this upcoming supply would be dedicated to IT and ITeS sector, followed by 5 lakh sft commercial spaces and the remainder in special economic zones for IT and ITeS.
The residential property market would witness a revival in demand for high-end properties, as changing customer preferences for customised houses with better amenities is a new trend being witnessed in the market.
I heard nearly 900 units in the mid-end category are in a pre-launch stage and would be launched this year in locations like Rajiv Gandhi Salai-II, RA Puram and Sriperumbudur.
Hey yes the residential real estate sector in Chennai is expected to see a completion of more than 16,000 residential units across all categories in 2014, as it was only 13,000 units launched during 2013.
