completion or ready to move in properties located in

micro-markets like Velachery and Medavakkam stretch

Colliers View

Chennai’s residential real estate is expected to see rise

in demand from both investors and end users in 2015.

Development of grid road along Outer Ring Road and

other infrastructure initiatives such as metro system and

rail over bridges will improve connectivity within various

part of the city and will drive residential demand in

peripheral areas. Overall capital and rental value are

expected to see marginal appreciation in next three

quarters but rents will remain stable.
