Siruseri, Chennai

Siruseri sits along Chennai's IT corridor, on Old Mahabalipuram Road. It is a village under Thiruporur panchayat union in Chengalpattu district, Tamil Nadu, located 35 km from Chennai along the Old Mahabalipuram Road, between Navalur and Kelambakkam. What was once a quiet village is now one of South Chennai's busiest residential and employment micro-markets, shaped almost entirely by the tech park that shares its name.

At the heart of the locality is the SIPCOT IT Park. It was developed on 782.51 acres of land by SIPCOT, the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu, and is the second-largest IT park in Asia. Top MNC and IT companies like TCS, Cognizant, and Capgemini have their offices in Siruseri IT Park, which is at close vicinity. This dense concentration of employers has turned Siruseri into a genuine 'walk-to-work' destination for thousands of IT professionals.

On the residential side, Siruseri offers everything from plotted developments to mid-rise apartments. It is a mid segment locality situated in the southern part of Chennai, near Navalur, Padur and OMR. Property values have moved up meaningfully in recent years - the average price of properties here is around Rs 5,500 per sq ft, having gone up by 19.6% in the last one year.

What makes Siruseri stand out from other OMR micro-markets is the balance it strikes: it's dense enough to have schools, hospitals and malls within a short drive, yet still has open land parcels and greenery that most of central OMR has already lost. Great OMR connectivity and the upcoming Metro make it a top 'walk-to-work' investment destination.
