Embassy Group is an Indian real estate developer based in Bengaluru, established in 1993, with Jitu Virwani at its helm since founding after he entered the property development business in 1985 at the age of 19. From that Bengaluru base, the group's operations now span 22+ cities, including Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Chennai, and Pune, amongst others, with over 100 million square feet of commercial, residential, hospitality, services, and education spaces delivered and managed and a land bank exceeding 1,700 acres nationwide. Chennai sits within this footprint alongside Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Coimbatore, and Trivandrum, and two overseas markets in Serbia and Malaysia.
Embassy's scale is anchored by more than residential delivery. In 2012, Embassy Group and Blackstone entered into a joint venture to form Embassy Office Parks, an entity built around Grade-A business parks, and the group went on to sponsor Embassy Office Parks REIT, the first listed REIT in India and Asia's largest office REIT by area. That institutional-grade discipline in office and business-park delivery is part of what a Chennai buyer is implicitly backing when choosing an Embassy address in the city, even though the Chennai portfolio itself is residential-led.
Embassy Group's flagship Chennai residential development sits in Perumbakkam, just off Sholinganallur, OMR, and Medavakkam. The project is structured as a 25-acre integrated township offering 2,400+ ready-to-move-in homes with 15 years of maintenance guaranteed by Embassy Services, the group's in-house property management arm. Within this footprint, the community is built as four towers of 19 floors each with roughly 2,482 units, and more than 70% of the land is held as open space, landscaped gardens, and jogging tracks rather than built form. Homes are configured as 2 and 3 BHK apartments, with the earlier phase launched between 2018 and 2019 and now supplemented by a newer phase announced in 2025 on an adjoining 34.44-acre parcel.
Location choices reinforce the everyday utility of the address: the township sits adjacent to Global Hospital and features the National Public School (NPS) in its immediate vicinity, placing tertiary healthcare and a recognised school within walking distance rather than a commute. The registered address places the project at Cheran Nagar, off the Sholinganallur–Medavakkam Link Road, Perumbakkam, Chennai 600100 — a pin code that has become one of South Chennai's more active launch zones for large-format gated development.
Perumbakkam sits inside the broader OMR IT corridor that hosts tech parks and MNC campuses including TCS, Infosys, HCL, and Cognizant in the neighbouring Sholinganallur and Siruseri stretch, which is what draws IT-sector demand to this pocket of South Chennai in the first place. Within that corridor, Perumbakkam has typically traded at a 15–20% discount to more built-out neighbouring markets such as Sholinganallur and Medavakkam, while still sitting close enough to reach the same tech parks. Over the past year, flat prices in the locality have risen by roughly 6%, and by more than 20% over three years — a trajectory that reflects genuine end-user absorption rather than one-off speculation.
The area's medium-term catalyst is Chennai Metro Phase 2, which includes a dedicated Perumbakkam station on Corridor 3 (Madhavaram–SIPCOT), alongside a Global Hospital station and an Elcot station in the same stretch, with staged completion targeted between 2025 and 2028. Road connectivity today runs via the Sholinganallur–Medavakkam Link Road, Medavakkam Main Road, Velachery–Tambaram Road, and OMR itself, giving residents multiple routes toward the IT corridor and toward central Chennai. Citywide, South Chennai has been the strongest-performing zone in recent sales data, with Perumbakkam among the micro-markets recording 5–12% price growth, underlining that Embassy's Chennai bet is placed in one of the city's more actively absorbed corridors rather than a speculative frontier.
A defining feature of Embassy's residential proposition, in Chennai as elsewhere, is that delivery does not end at handover. Embassy Services runs the post-possession maintenance for the group's residential communities, and at the Perumbakkam township this is structured as a 15-year assured management commitment covering the clubhouse, swimming pool, gym, sports courts, and common infrastructure across the 25-acre layout. For a buyer weighing a large gated community against a standalone tower, this continuity of upkeep — backed by a developer with three decades of operating history and a REIT-grade approach to asset management on its commercial side — is a practical point of difference in a corridor where dozens of residential projects compete for the same IT-driven demand.
