15 million square feet project pipeline in Chennai

Earlier this year in July, Brigade Group had said that it plans to launch close to 15 mn sq ft of residential, office, retail and hospitality space in Chennai for which it will invest close to over ₹8,000 crore.

The gross development value of the residential projects in the city alone are estimated to be over ₹13,000 crore, the company had said.

With this, Chennai is expected to be the second largest market after the real estate company's home turf Bengaluru.

“Our aim is to double our growth in the city by expanding all four verticals of residential, commercial, retail and hospitality,” Shankar has said during the announcement.
