On the Sholinganallur-Medavakkam Link Road in Perumbakkam, Embassy Group holds one of its largest single residential footprints in Chennai.
Embassy Residency is a 25-acre integrated township in Chennai's IT corridor, offering 2400+ ready-to-move-in homes with 15 years of maintenance guarantee by Embassy Services. The development is built across 4 towers with 19 floors each and 2,482 units on offer, spread over an area of 25 acres. This is the scale at which Embassy Group operates in the locality — not a boutique infill project but a full township, and the Embassy Salarpuria Sattva Residency listing tracked here sits within this same Perumbakkam address.
With 70% open spaces, world-class amenities like a clubhouse, swimming pool, gym, and senior-friendly features, it creates a vibrant community for all ages. Located adjacent to Global Hospital and NPS International School and minutes from OMR, Medavakkam, and Chennai Airport, it combines modern living with seamless connectivity. The address sits right off Sholinganallur-Medavakkam Link Road, close to IT hubs like ELCOT and Sholinganallur Junction.
Embassy Group is an Indian real estate developer based in Bengaluru, established in 1993. The establishment has developed 40 million sq. ft. of Commercial, Residential, Industrial & Warehousing, Hospitality, Retail, Education and Services, and holds an extensive land bank of 1,000 acres across the country. Its operations now span 22+ cities, including Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Chennai, and Pune.
The group's residential brand equity is anchored in Bengaluru, where premium luxury living spaces include Embassy Boulevard — an uber-luxury gated community, Embassy Grove — the only villament lifestyle in the heart of the city, Embassy Pristine — luxury lake-front green homes, and Embassy Lake Terraces. That same design and delivery discipline extends to the Perumbakkam project, where the group has replicated its township model — large land parcels, high open-space ratios, and in-house facilities management through Embassy Services — rather than a standalone tower.
Embassy Group's Chennai commitment is not limited to residential. In 2016 the group was approved as exclusive Co-Developer for a 30-acre notified SEZ in Chennai, on the Thoraipakkam-Pallavaram radial road, developed as Embassy Splendid TechZone. At the time, Jitu Virwani, Chairman and Managing Director of Embassy Group, said the move was meant to strengthen the group's foothold in Chennai, calling it a city with tremendous growth potential and a key market for the business. The group has since added an industrial park at Sriperumbudur on the Chennai-Bengaluru highway, giving it a spread across residential, commercial and industrial real estate in the city — the same integrated approach it has followed in Bengaluru with its office-park and REIT business.
Embassy also operates a real estate investment trust called Embassy Office Parks REIT, the first listed REIT in India and Asia's largest office REIT by area. That institutional-grade commercial business, run in partnership with Blackstone, is a reference point buyers often use to gauge the group's balance-sheet scale before evaluating its residential projects.
Embassy Group's choice of Perumbakkam reflects the locality's position within the OMR growth corridor rather than a standalone bet. Perumbakkam is an actively transitioning suburb in South Chennai's OMR belt, and that transition is what makes it interesting for the right buyer right now. Prices here are still meaningfully below mature OMR neighbourhoods like Sholinganallur and Medavakkam — buyers get comparable proximity to the IT corridor at a 15-20% discount.
Employment proximity is the core driver. For IT professionals working on OMR, Sholinganallur is roughly 1-2 km away, ELCOT SEZ is practically next door, and Siruseri IT Park is within 12-15 km. This is precisely the catchment a 2,482-unit township of Embassy's scale is built to serve — end-users who work along OMR and want a gated community rather than a standalone building.
Social infrastructure around the Embassy address is already established rather than promised. Landmarks near the project include Gleneagles Global Health City, Sri Chaitanya Techno School in Perumbakkam, and Govt. Park 77, Perumbakkam. Perumbakkam Lake is one of the most notable landmarks in the locality, a popular recreational spot for residents.
Average property rates in Perumbakkam stand around Rs 6,150 per sq ft, having moved 6.0% in the last year, 20.6% over three years, 41.4% over five years and 50.0% over ten years. This is a steadier, end-user-driven curve rather than a speculative spike, consistent with the broader OMR market where flat rates changed 7.4% in the last year and 52.6% over five years.
Perumbakkam attracts first-time buyers due to its relatively lower entry price, with prices growing gradually as infrastructure improves and spill-over demand from Medavakkam and OMR increases. Rental yield in the locality runs around 4%, decent for a South Chennai suburb. For a developer positioning a large township here, this combination of affordable entry price and steady appreciation is what sustains absorption across a multi-tower project of Embassy's size.
The single biggest infrastructure change on the horizon for Perumbakkam is rail transit. Chennai Metro Phase 2 has a dedicated Perumbakkam station planned on Corridor 3, the Madhavaram-SIPCOT line, alongside a Global Hospital station and an Elcot station in the same stretch. The Phase 2 network is targeted for staged completion between 2025 and 2028. For a township-scale Embassy address already positioned off the Sholinganallur-Medavakkam Link Road, a dedicated metro station within the immediate stretch would materially shorten the commute to OMR's IT parks and to the city core, reinforcing the long-term case for the location rather than changing it.
