In the postCOVID landscape, Chennai’s residential market has experienced a notable transformation. The rise of remote work has led homebuyers to prioritize spacious apartments with dedicated work zones and integrated community amenities.
High-end residences have gained traction, particularly among the older generation seeking comfort and ease, and younger professionals preferring hasslefree, managed living. Proximity to metro connectivity and robust urban infrastructure remains a key driver, making premium developments within the city both desirable and in high demand.

Navigating Challenges in Urban Redevelopment
According to Sagas Constructions, urban redevelopment in Chennai presents a complex landscape. Many buildings approved in the 1970s are now structurally weak and require redevelopment. However, historical violations of building norms, especially in areas with narrow roads and limited FSI, make obtaining new approvals difficult.
Current FSI limitations (2 to 2.5) restrict viable redevelopment, while the cost of construction and government-imposed approval charges have escalated significantly. Additionally, the 5 percent GST on units sold, combined with the denial of input tax credit and 18 percent GST on materials, further impacts project margins. High interest rates and increased repo rates strain financing options, making it challenging for developers to sustain profitability. Corruption and procedural delays compound these difficulties.
As a result, only large developers with substantial upfront capital can compete effectively. Given these constraints, the company foresees future growth shifting toward the city’s outskirts, supported by expanding metro infrastructure. Lateral growth, though slower, appears to be the most practical path for sustainable development.
“I believe it’s crucial for the younger generation to take the real estate business seriously, as it holds tremendous potential. While the government’s focus on customer protection is important, it must also consider the challenges faced by promoters.
There needs to be a balance, especially in terms of delays caused by officials and high private sector costs. If these issues are addressed, the future of the industry looks promising. India’s growing population ensures real estate’s growth, but consistent infrastructure development and government support are key for sustained progress”, concludes L. Santha Kumar.
