Behind SIPCOT, Siruseri

nearly 100 acres and will be developed in four to five phases

 

Travel

 

For offices on OMR, this is near. If you work at SIPCOT, you are real close (1-1/2km from TCS/CTS). You don’t even have to pay toll if the road through SIPCOT is laid better in coming days. Think of WALK TO WORK.

If access to SIPCOT is closed only for SIPCOT employees, only other access right now is to reach Vandalur-Kelambakkam road through Pudupakkam village.

For traveling to NH45, the Vandalur-Kelambakkam road is well laid and relatively less traffic. But down the lane, this may not suffice as this is a single-lane road.

Hidden Costs

I am not aware of any hidden costs, do add your comments if you think project has hidden costs involved.

 

Penalty cost - Rs.5/sqft for every month the project is delayed

Engineering

RCC wall technology. Walls are 4” instead of 9” – so, more carpet area per sale-able area. The whole construction is carried out through mechanized construction practices by deploying concrete batching plant, transit mixtures, concrete pumps and tower cranes. Such deployment facilitates timely completion of the project with high-class quality. Unlike conventional construction involving column beam framework with brick work infill, the construction of Villapartment is done through providing RC shear wall / Slab construction. Utilizing this technology, the wall and slab for total apartment unit is done at one go at two days cycle period. Such construction will provide perfect dimensional accuracy and also superior quality. Other benefits include,

* Eliminates the construction of columns
* All rigid walls and floor slabs are case in single pour
* Earthquake resistant structure
* Offers obstruction free space
* Accelerates the construction schedule
* Facilitates to adapt the green building concept
* Offer better performance over RC framework with brick work

Resale-ability/Rent-ability

Very good rent-ability to SIPCOT-goers/Navalur. approximate rents in 2011 would be Rs. 6000 for every 1000 sft house in this area.

Selling immediately would depend on how the housing market and the overall economy gets going. Overall, this is hot property and reasonable prices. Could double by 2016 or 2018.

TCS is employing 35,000 people at Siruseri, Cognizant has 4000 people working and hiring another 6,000 people, Hexaware is hiring 10,000 people at Siruseri, XANSA has 3000 people, Syntel is hiring 7000 people, Airtel has 400 employees, Aspire systems has 600 employees, Patni has 1200 employees. Add all this we would have 70,000 people to be employed in Siruseri IT Park in next 3 years. If even 10% want to live besides work place you need 7000 apartments. L&T Eden Park township is coming up with only 4000 apartments in total.

My rating

A+ for peace lovers
B- for action lovers
A- for bachelors (if you work in OMR, esp SIPCOT/Navalur)
A for family (nearby school, crèche, hospitals, no great shopping, might pay for toll everyday)
C for shopping freaks

B- for party goers (homes near city or ECR are better)
A+ for aged (Place to walk, Chettinad heath city nearby)
A for investors (could double by 2016 if IT boom sustains)
