Factors for Growth in the Past

The development of Sriperumbudur-Singaperumal Koil stretch was one of the major factors responsible for the growth of the locality. Availability of land and Singaperumal Koil’s proximity to GST Road also grabbed the attention of leading builders like Sare Homes, VGN Developers, and ABI Estates, who set up small- to mid-scale residential projects in the area. Good road and rail connectivity worked as an added advantage.

Residential Market Analysis

Residential plots dominate the property spectrum in the region, while apartments come next. The average rate for residential plots in Singaperumal Koil is Rs 790 per sq. ft., and independent houses sell at an average rate of Rs 2,890 per sq. ft. Apartments are priced the highest in the area, and sell at an average rate of Rs 3,290 per sq. ft. The rent prices for 2-3 BHK apartments in Singaperumal Koil range from Rs 7,000 per month to Rs 18,000 per month.

Major Challenges

Certain parts of Singaperumal Koil are deprived of good road connectivity due to poorly constructed roads. The stretch from Singaperumal Koil to Oragadam entertains heavy vehicle traffic, with trucks and buses plying this stretch, sometimes causing fatal accidents.

The delay in construction of the grade separator at the intersection of Vandalur–Wallajahbad Road (SH-48) and Singaperumal Koil–Sriperumbudur Road (SH 57), has aggravated traffic congestion in the locality. Apart from traffic issues, this project delay poses a safety risk for the residents, as the ramps on this road lacks protective parapet walls.

Factors for Growth in the Future

The proposal to develop a new 60km stretch of road on Chennai Peripheral Ring Road is set to benefit Singaperumal Koil, as it would be linked to important industrial hubs like Thiruvallur, Thamaraipakkam, and Periyapalayam.

The completion of Oragadam Industrial Corridor Project Phase-II, which would widen the Singaperumal Koil-Sriperumbudur Road from 4 to 6 lanes will play a major role in resolving the locality’s growing traffic issues.

The plan to build a Peripheral Road bordering Chennai, once executed, would reduce traffic snarls in the city. The road will pass through industrial hubs like Oragadam, Sriperumbudur, Tiruvallur, and Singaperumal Koil.

Upcoming residential projects inSingaperumal Koil such as Sare Shreyas Villa, Meadow Ville Phase II, Sare Meadowville Phase II, Rain Tree Park, and Natwest Vivas, will further accelerate the locality’s residential growth.
