Factors for Growth in the Past

 

Good connectivity via roads plus affordable property prices were the main factors that appealed to the working class, who began relocating from adjacent localities to Kundrathur. This movement led to the rise in construction of residential units in the area. Its proximity to localities such as Tambaram, Porur, and Sriperumbudur further ushered real estate growth in Kundrathur.

 

Abundant land availability also fostered the establishment of residential and commercial pockets in the region. Some well-known developers such as Sumathi Homes & Developers, Teamwork Developers, Vettri Builders, and Bhavani Builders set up residential projects here. The establishment of educational institutions, hospitals, and other amenities followed shortly, transforming Kundrathur into a sought-after locality.
