The recent announcement of the reopening of Ford's manufacturing plant, which has its presence on GST road, and the ongoing construction of Kilambakkam railway station have been predicted to be the key catalysts for driving the growth in the region.
Ford's reopening is expected to create numerous job opportunities, revive secondary industries, and drive demand for residential and commercial real estate. The company's presence has historically attracted a large number of skilled workers from across the country, many of whom have established their homes here. Similarly, its upcoming reopening is expected to bring in more population into the locality and further boost the housing and commercial demand in the neighboring areas.
The growing influx of workers and industries is additionally expected to relocate to these thriving areas, providing lucrative opportunities for both investors and potential homebuyers, adding value to the real estate market of the region.
The ongoing construction of the Kilambakkam railway station is another major factor that is going to influence the region's growth. The railway station is expected to significantly improve the connectivity from the southern suburbs of the city along GST Road to Central Chennai, with the proximal Kilambakkam bus terminus, further strengthening transport links in the area.
Areas along GST road such as Guduvanchery and Urapakkam, already experiencing extensive growth due to their proximity to prominent IT firms, are witnessing a constant rise in the locality's real estate appreciation. Meanwhile, Singaperumal Koil, strategically located at the intersection of the IT hub and the Auto-rail hub, is rapidly emerging as the real estate hotspot on the GST road.
For homebuyers and investors, the GST Road corridor offers an ideal blend of affordability, connectivity, and future growth potential, making it a prime real estate destination in Chennai's rapidly evolving suburban landscape.
