Road and corridor upgrades
Ongoing work along OMR, GST Road and ECR, plus arterial road widening, aims to ease congestion between the outer belts and the centre.
IT and business corridor growth
Continued growth along the OMR/Sholinganallur IT corridor and other business hubs keeps rental and resale demand steady in well-connected residential belts nearby.

Waterbody restoration (including Buckingham Canal and local lakes) and civic infrastructure projects across the city gradually improve liveability in many established localities.
