Holachennai, Cloud9 and FirstCity are Casagrand's projects in Sholinganallur. Compare their prices and handover, and see what is within reach of the IT parks and the metro under construction.
Last updated 21 September 2026
Chennai's IT hub on OMR, where two metro corridors are being built to meet at one interchange.
Sholinganallur is a southern suburb on Old Mahabalipuram Road, now Rajiv Gandhi Salai, and the point where the road divides into the Madhya Kailash to Sholinganallur zone and the Sholinganallur to Kelambakkam zone. It began as marshland, was annexed to the Chennai Corporation in 2011 and is known as an IT and residential hub, with Wipro, Infosys and TCS operations, the ELCOT SEZ nearby and a Tamil Nadu Housing Board satellite township. East Coast Road is about 2 km away, and Perumbakkam and Medavakkam lie to the west.
The main change under way is the Chennai Metro. An elevated interchange between Corridor 3, from Madhavaram to Siruseri SIPCOT, and Corridor 5, from Madhavaram to Sholinganallur, is being built at Sholinganallur, alongside grade separators at the junction. Suburban rail has also reached closer: MRTS services were extended from Velachery to St Thomas Mount from March 2026.
Casagrand lists three projects here: FirstCity, ready to occupy; Holachennai, a 30-acre township; and Cloud9, a tower project of 331 homes. The sections below compare them, then cover the area, what public projects are planned and what to check, including the flood record of the neighbouring Perumbakkam and Medavakkam.

OMR does most of the work today. Metro and suburban rail are about to add options.
| Mode | What serves the area | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Road | Rajiv Gandhi Salai (OMR, SH-49A) | About 43.7 km from Madhya Kailash Junction to Mahabalipuram, maintained by the Tamil Nadu Road Development Corporation. Sholinganallur is the dividing point between Zone 1 and Zone 2. OMR is tolled, with an entrance toll at Seevaram, an exit toll at Egattur and satellite plazas on the link roads. |
| Road | Medavakkam to Sholinganallur road | Links OMR to Perumbakkam, Medavakkam and, through the Velachery to Tambaram road, Tambaram. Medavakkam is about 4 km from Sholinganallur. |
| Road | Sholinganallur to ECR link (Kalaignar Karunanidhi Salai) | A 2.1 km link joins OMR to East Coast Road, which is about 2 km from Sholinganallur. |
| Road | Thoraipakkam to Pallavaram radial road | Runs east-west between the OMR IT corridor and the GST Road, with connectivity towards the airport. It is north of Sholinganallur at Thoraipakkam. |
| Suburban rail | MRTS via Velachery and St Thomas Mount | Southern Railway extended MRTS services from Velachery to St Thomas Mount from 14 March 2026, on a 4.5 km link with stations at Puzhuthivakkam and Adambakkam. Perungudi MRTS station is the nearest MRTS point on the northern end of OMR. |
| Metro | Sholinganallur interchange (Corridors 3 and 5) | Under construction. An elevated interchange with platforms at about 21.8 m and 28.8 m and an eight-storey building. No metro service is running on OMR yet. |
| Metro | Corridor 5 stations towards Medavakkam and Perumbakkam | Stations listed include Medavakkam Koot Road, Medavakkam Junction, Perumbakkam, Global Hospital, Elcot and Sholinganallur. |
| Airport | Chennai International Airport | Casagrand lists it at 10 minutes from Holachennai and 25 minutes from FirstCity. We found no independent distance, so time the drive yourself. |
Metro status. The elevated OMR section of Corridor 3 has slipped before: a July 2024 report moved the target from June 2026 to December 2026 because of land, traffic and junction design issues at Sholinganallur and Thoraipakkam, and 2026 sources give March 2027. The Sholinganallur interchange was reported in September 2025 as expected within two years. Treat all dates as targets.
What the sources we checked list in and around Sholinganallur, plus the landmarks Casagrand gives for its projects.
OMR is being rebuilt around the metro. This is what is planned and where it stands.
| Project | Status | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Sholinganallur metro interchange, Corridors 3 and 5 | Under construction | An elevated interchange with a grade separator at the second level and a plaza at ground level. Construction began in mid-2024, and one source cites March 2027 for operation. |
| Corridor 5: Madhavaram to Sholinganallur | Under construction | In February 2026 the 39.44 km segment between Chennai Trade Centre and Sholinganallur was described as nearing completion. Another source estimates Phase 2 completion around 2028 to 2030. |
| Corridor 3, OMR elevated stretch to Siruseri | Under construction | Work was advancing from Nehru Nagar to Siruseri in February 2026. Targets have moved from June 2026 to December 2026 and then to March 2027. |
| Grade separators at Sholinganallur and Thoraipakkam | Under construction | Built with the metro stations. Expect construction-related congestion until the works finish. |
| Sholinganallur to ECR viaduct for the metro | Under construction | A viaduct of about 200 m on Kalaignar Karunanidhi Salai linking OMR to ECR, sized for train reversal. An extension along ECR was mentioned only as a possibility. |
| MRTS extension, Velachery to St Thomas Mount | Open | Services began on 14 March 2026 and give an interchange with suburban rail and metro at St Thomas Mount. |
Opening dates for public projects are targets and have moved before. Treat them as indications and check the agency's current announcement. Status as reported up to 21 September 2026.
A fair look at what draws buyers here and what to weigh against it.
The flood record and the metro timeline matter most here.
FirstCity is TN/01/Building/0114/2021, Holachennai is TN/29/Building/0352/2024 and Cloud9 is TN/29/Building/0184/2023. Search them on the Tamil Nadu RERA website and confirm the registered completion dates.
During Cyclone Michaung in early December 2023, large apartment complexes in Perumbakkam were badly flooded, and residents reported more than 48 hours without power, water or food and submerged basements. A citizen audit found that the Vadakkupattu (Medavakkam Periya Eri) lake breached on 4 December 2023, affecting Medavakkam and Pallikaranai. Sholinganallur was originally marshland, and the Pallikaranai marsh, a Ramsar wetland since April 2022, is a flood buffer. Ask about ground level, basement waterproofing, sump and power backup at the specific project.
FirstCity is ready to occupy. Visit a finished tower, look at the common areas and the lifts, and ask for the completion certificate and details of the maintenance arrangements.
Metro dates on OMR have slipped before. Check the current position with Chennai Metro Rail Limited, and consider the construction traffic in the meantime.
Ask for a written cost sheet with the base price, GST, stamp duty, registration, maintenance deposit and parking, and tie each payment to a construction stage.
