The two towers near the recently developed Chennai Centra Square, one will have three basements and 17 floors, and the other will have seven floors.
The Central Square, which was recently developed and opened at the Purachi Thalaivar Dr MGR Chennai Central Railway Station, will soon see the construction of twin towers.
The city’s most famous landmark has recently undergone a sea change and now features walkways, seating, subways, and landscaping. Implemented at a cost of ₹400 crore, the project originally had two 31-storey towers. But the design was modified due to regulatory issues, officials of the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) said.
Under the new plan, the first block will have three basements and 17 floors, the second will have ground and seven floors.
“We are exploring the construction of these two buildings through a public-private partnership model. Multi-level car parking will be built in the basement, which will have a seating capacity of 800 vehicles.
Sources said that one of the major reasons for changing the plan to convert it from 31-storey buildings to two high-storey blocks was that necessary clearances could not be obtained.
“Since the location is close to Koom, it is definitely not easy to get all the permissions. Even for these two blocks, we are yet to get some clearance. We hope to get it soon after which we can PPP Can start construction work through model.
