From an area housing brick kilns until a few decades ago, Nolambur, a village panchayat to the west of the city, is emerging as a prime property attracting huge investments from real estate developers and home-seekers.
Sandwiched between Mogappair West and Ambattur Industrial Estate, Nolambur is witnessing rapid development of residential colonies. Spread over about 800 acres, the area is dotted with freshly-painted high-rise buildings, luxury apartments and independent houses.
Several places, such as VGN Nagar and Sriram Nagar, are abuzz with construction activity of massive apartment complexes. A resident of Nolambur, Grace Joseph, said, “My house is surrounded by apartment complexes. Several such big apartment complexes have come up in Nolambur over the last eight years.”
People working in the vicinity and those on the lookout for a better environment began moving into the area a few years ago. Soon, high-rise buildings would outnumber the independent houses, Ms. Joseph said.
Nolambur is gaining prominence despite lack of basic infrastructure and the continued threat of flooding during monsoon. Its proximity to well-developed areas such as Anna Nagar and Mogappair and connectivity to the city were some of the reasons for its growing popularity. According to Nolambur panchayat sources, the population has increased from about 3,700 to 20,000 in the past 12 years.
Residents recall that Tamil Nadu Housing Board set the trend by developing property in Phase I of Nolambur during the late 1980s. This was followed by the entry of private builders who began constructing houses to suit the requirements of different category of customers.
At least 10 builders are promoting residential projects ranging from a plot with eight apartments to huge complexes with around 300 apartments. A representative of one of the flat promoters said in spite of escalating cost of raw materials, several builders show keen interest in constructing high-rise buildings as the apartments get almost immediately booked once it is developed.
Reputed schools and hospitals within a 3-5 km radius also attracted the property developers and seekers. It is an area where land is available at about Rs.50 lakh to Rs.60 lakh a plot (2,400 square feet).
The going rate for a 1,000 sq ft apartment starts at Rs.35 lakh.
T. Chitty Babu, chairman and managing director of Akshaya Homes, says the area is being preferred by promoters as Nolambur borders the Ambattur industrial estate, which is emerging as a prominent information technology hub.
It is easy and time saving to get approvals as the area is not of agricultural use. However, long-time residents feel that the infrastructure development has not matched up to the mushrooming of residential apartments.
M. Selvamani, secretary, Nolambur Residents’ Welfare Association, says most roads are a shambles and the area is bereft of a proper sewer network, drinking water facility and parks. He raised concern over the spurt in high-rise buildings that may affect groundwater table and lead to pollution.
Nolambur panchayat president V.Rajan said the increasing real estate activity has helped the revenue of the local body increase three-fold since 2000. The funds would be used to provide basic amenities, such as roads and street lights.
“We have provided approval for two complexes with a total of 600 apartments in the last one year,” he said.
The area would soon get drinking water and sewerage network as Chennai Metrowater has proposed to take up the projects.
