The Industrial areas in Chennai (North) comprises Industries and business dependent and catering to the Ports or Sri City or need to transport goods to/ from North India and closer to city areas like Madhavaram going up to SriCity in Tada, Andhra Pradesh.

Each and every cluster and zone has a separate micro-market and typology for users and tenants. The specifications of buildings vary in every cluster and therefore the costs. There is viability in most newer areas wherein the rents are proportionate to the land costs and construction costs based on tenant requirements. The older areas closer to the city do not have viability as the land use has been changed to residential and therefore is not conducive for industrial or warehousing purposes. Also while going to newer areas, it is imperative that we do not go too far out where the development is too less and the social infrastructure is unavailable to support industry.

In 2022 most areas within 40 km of Koyambedu or Guindy can support viability where existing infrastructure is available and so are existing developments on warehouses and factories. For specific information, only a domain expert can guide perfectly like all Warehouses for rent in chennai.
