Chennai Metro: Rs 446.88 Crore Project to Build Four Towers at Tirumangalam Station

Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has awarded a Rs 446.88-crore contract to Capacite Infraprojects Limited to construct four integrated commercial buildings near Tirumangalam Metro station. The project will feature a unique design in which an elevated Metro train will pass through the building complex.

Chennai: Chennai is set to get a major Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) project near Tirumangalam Metro station as part of the ongoing Metro Rail Phase-II expansion. Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has awarded the construction contract worth Rs 446.88 crore to Capacite Infraprojects Limited.

The project will be developed on 3.85 acres of land near Tirumangalam Metro station along the elevated alignment of Corridor 5. The construction is expected to be completed within 24 months from the date of commencement of work.

The development aims to combine commercial infrastructure with public transportation, making it easier for commuters to access Metro services directly from the proposed building complex.

Four Towers to Come Up Near Tirumangalam Metro Station

According to the project details, the development will comprise four towers constructed on either side of the Phase-II Metro station.

The Metro station will be positioned between Towers B and C, allowing commuters to access the station directly from within the integrated development.

One of the most distinctive features is the integration of the elevated Metro corridor with the building complex. A Metro train will pass through the development, making it a notable infrastructure project in Chennai.

Building Structure and Floor Details

The four towers will have different configurations based on the proposed architectural design.

Tower A: Three basement levels, a ground floor and nine additional floors.

Tower B: A ground floor and nine additional floors.

Tower C: Three basement levels, a ground floor and nine additional floors.

Tower D: A ground floor and two additional floors.

The construction contract covers the complete development of the buildings, including civil works, architectural finishes, plumbing, electrical and mechanical installations.

It will also include heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, lifts and other associated infrastructure.

Metro Train to Pass Through the Integrated Building Complex

The key highlight of the Tirumangalam development is its direct integration with the Metro station and elevated viaduct.

Unlike conventional commercial developments located near transport hubs, this project will incorporate the Metro station within the building complex. The station`s location between Towers B and C is intended to provide seamless connectivitity between commercial spaces and public transportation.

This design is part of CMRL`s Transit-Oriented Development strategy, which focuses on developing commercial and urban infrastructure around major public transport facilities.

Part of Chennai Metro Phase-II Development

The Tirumangalam project is one of the major TOD initiatives planned under Chennai Metro Phase II. By using available land along the Metro corridors, CMRL aims to combine transport infrastructure with commercial property development.

The development is expected to improve access to public transportation while adding new commercial infrastructure to the Tirumangalam area.

With an investment of Rs 446.88 crore and a proposed completion period of 24 months, the project is expected to add a new dimension to Chennai`s Metro network and its surrounding urban development.
