Project Overview
This premium project is being developed as a joint venture between the Prestige Group and WS Industries, bringing together two trusted names known for large scale infrastructure and commercial excellence. The 1.1 million sq ft park will be nearly as big as Tidel Park, which opened as the city's first mega tech park in 2000 and is 1.2 million sq ft.
Location and Connectivity
The project is located at 108 Mount Poonamallee Road, Porur, Chennai-600116. The project is developing a major arterial road that offers smooth connectivity to key areas, linking important regions like Guindy, Porur, and Poonamallee. The road provides easy access to the Chennai Airport, which is just a short drive away. It also connects to major highways such as NH-45 and NH-4. Public transportation is well-served by bus services and cabs.
The upcoming metro line expansion is expected to enhance connectivity in the area further.
Porur as Emerging IT Corridor
Often referred to as OMR 2.0, Porur has mirrored the success of Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) while carving its own identity as a hub for technological innovation, industrial growth, and real estate expansion. Along with tech parks built by L&T (since acquired by CapitaLand), Rahejas, and RMZ, the DLF IT Park is already located at Manapakkam on the stretch of land that connects Nandambakkam and Porur.
Key players like DLF IT Park, which houses companies such as IBM, Cognizant, and TCS, along with SP Infocity and L & T Infotech, have turned Porur into a critical node in Chennai's IT network. Unlike OMR, Porur hosts a mix of IT, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors, providing a diversified employment base.
Infrastructure Context
Phase 2 of the Chennai Metro is set to connect Porur to various parts of the city, reducing travel time and enhancing commuter convenience. Mount-Poonamallee Road, a vital arterial road, and the Porur Flyover have also improved connectivity, linking Porur to Guindy, Sriperumbudur, and Chennai International Airport. The ongoing metro rail project improves connectivity on this road.
