27 Jun 2025 CW Team

Brigade Enterprises has unveiled Brigade Morgan Heights, a residential development in South Chennai carrying a gross development value of about Rs 21 billion. Rising on a 14.7-acre plot along the Sholinganallur–Medavakkam corridor, the scheme will deliver roughly 2.2 million square feet of premium apartments across 1,250 two-, three- and four-BHK units, the largest spanning 2,599 square feet.

Positioned just 150 metres from the forthcoming Classical Tamil Institute Metro Station, the site offers ten-minute road links to technology parks such as ELCOT, Wipro and Cognizant, enhancing its appeal to the city’s expanding IT workforce.

Brigade will execute the project through a joint development agreement and incorporate extensive sustainability measures: rooftop solar panels will cover one-third of terrace space to power common areas, rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge systems will conserve water, and an organic waste converter will reduce landfill disposal. Residents will also enjoy a 40,000-square-foot clubhouse with more than 30 curated amenities.

“Chennai continues to be a vital market for Brigade Group, and this expansion aligns with our vision of delivering high-quality homes in emerging urban corridors,” Managing Director Pavitra Shankar said, adding that the company intends to invest nearly Rs 80 billion in city developments by 2030.

The launch reinforces Brigade Group’s growing Chennai portfolio—already home to landmark assets such as World Trade Centre and Orion Mall—and underscores the developer’s push to integrate comfort, sustainability and modern living in India’s fast-growing metropolitan hubs.
