Living Along the Siruseri-Kelambakkam Corridor
There is a particular kind of morning light that falls over the Siruseri-Kelambakkam stretch of Old Mahabalipuram Road — one that has, over the last decade, come to define South Chennai's most talked-about address. This is the hub of Chennai's IT Corridor, home to SIPCOT IT Park and top MNCs like TCS and Cognizant. Siruseri is a high-growth residential and IT hub in South Chennai neighboured by Navalur, Kelambakkam, and Padur along OMR, with landmarks such as the SIPCOT IT Park, the Chennai Mathematical Institute, and the Marina Mall giving the neighbourhood a modern, work-focused character.
Just a few kilometres further south, Kelambakkam has quietly earned its own reputation. It is considered the Southern Gateway to Chennai city on OMR Road, falling under Zone-2 of the Sholinganallur-to-Kelambakkam stretch. More families are migrating here due to large-scale residential and commercial development, good ground water availability, and excellent road connectivity to every corner of Chennai. It is a corridor that still feels unhurried, even as cranes and construction crews steadily reshape its skyline.
That transformation has not gone unnoticed by India's largest listed developers. The corridor sits with direct connectivity to major employment hubs including SIPCOT, as well as access to Vandalur, Guduvanchery and the broader Mahabalipuram region — a belt that has steadily transformed from a peripheral zone into one of Chennai's most closely watched residential micro-markets, driven by IT and industrial employment growth and improving road and social infrastructure. Property rates in 2026 average around Rs 6,400 per sq ft for 2-3 BHK apartments and gated-community villas, supported by strong rental demand from the workforce at South India's largest IT park.
Beyond the office towers, the corridor offers an easy escape too. Another advantage of living here is how close East Coast Road is located, and if you want to go to the beach, it's only a short drive away. It is this rare balance — of employment on the doorstep and the sea within reach — that continues to draw both first-time buyers and seasoned investors to this corner of South Chennai.
