Medavakkam & OMR Property Price Forecast 2027
The Medavakkam & OMR Property Price Forecast 2027 shows that property prices in South Chennai will grow by 7% to 11% next year. In Medavakkam, standard apartment prices will go up from the 2026 rate of ₹6,700–₹7,200 per sq. ft. to ₹7,300–₹8,000 per sq. ft. in 2027, while land plot prices will stay between ₹7,800 and ₹12,000 per sq. ft. On Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR), 2027 flat rates will depend on the exact location: busy IT areas like Perungudi and Sholinganallur will cost ₹8,600–₹11,800 per sq. ft., while budget-friendly areas like Navalur, Siruseri, and Kelambakkam will cost ₹6,000–₹7,900 per sq. ft. Also, big luxury projects like Prestige Falcon City Chennai on the Medavakkam–Sholinganallur road are setting new record rates at ₹13,000 to ₹14,500 per sq. ft. Prices are going up because Chennai Metro Phase 2 work is moving fast, new IT offices are opening, and open land is becoming hard to find.

Spotlight Project: How "Prestige Falcon City Chennai" is Reshaping Medavakkam-OMR Rates
One big reason for the change in the Medavakkam & OMR Property Price Forecast 2027 is the launch of huge gated projects like Prestige Falcon City Chennai. This project sits on the main Medavakkam–Sholinganallur Road near Gleneagles Global Health City Hospital, just 5 km from the Sholinganallur IT junction. It is turning Medavakkam from a middle-class area into a luxury home zone.
Key Project Details & 2027 Price Impact:
- Size & Green Space: Built across 23 acres, the project has 22 tall towers (14 floors each) with 2,170 luxury flats. While small local buildings have very little open space, this project leaves 80% open green space and offers a huge 70,000+ sq. ft. clubhouse.
- Pre-Launch vs. 2027 Launch Rates: The project started with an early pre-launch base rate of ₹13,000 per sq. ft. As we move into 2027, the launch rate is reaching ₹14,500 per sq. ft., with handover planned for December 2031.
Flat Sizes & Starting Prices:
- 2 BHK (1,001 – 1,220 sq. ft.): ₹1.30 Crore – ₹1.46 Crore
- 3 BHK Compact (1,380 – 1,550 sq. ft.): ₹1.57 Crore – ₹1.78 Crore
- 3.5 BHK Large (1,750 – 2,150 sq. ft.): ₹1.95 Crore – ₹2.29 Crore
- 4 BHK Luxury (2,450 – 2,735 sq. ft.): ₹2.63 Crore – ₹3.54 Crore
Why It Matters for Local Property Prices:
When a top national builder sells flats at ₹13,000–₹14,500 per sq. ft., nearby property prices also go up. Smaller builders in Medavakkam and Perumbakkam can now charge more, pushing normal flat prices closer to ₹8,000 per sq. ft. in 2027. It also brings high-paying tenants who work as senior managers on OMR.
4 Key Growth Drivers Pushing Prices Up in 2027
Most people buying homes in South Chennai are families who want to live there, so the market is very stable. Four main reasons will push property prices up in 2027:
- Chennai Metro Phase 2 Nearing Completion: Metro Line 3 (along OMR) and Metro Line 5 (connecting Medavakkam and Sholinganallur) are getting closer to completion. Flats and plots within 2 kilometers of the new Medavakkam and Sholinganallur metro stations are expected to see a 12% to 18% price jump before the trains start running.
- Shift from Back-Office IT to High-Paying GCCs: OMR is attracting big foreign tech and banking companies (called GCCs) in Sholinganallur, Perungudi, and Navalur. Workers in these offices earn higher salaries and want to buy spacious 3 BHK and 4 BHK gated flats instead of small flats.
- 200-Feet Radial Road & Airport Connectivity: Medavakkam is only 5 to 6 kilometers from Sholinganallur and 12 kilometers from the Chennai Airport. The wide 200-Feet Radial Road and the Medavakkam flyover make daily travel easy for families who need quick access to both OMR offices and GST Road schools.
- Tightening Land Supply & Township Premium: Empty land in Medavakkam and OMR Phase 1 is running out fast. Because land is now very expensive, builders are constructing tall apartment towers with modern features and charging higher rates in 2027.
Deep-Dive Micro-Market Breakdown for 2027 Buyers
1. Medavakkam: The Two-Tier Family & Luxury Hub
Medavakkam now has two clear price levels for homebuyers. For regular apartments built by local builders, a ready-to-move 2 BHK flat (1,000–1,100 sq. ft.) will cost ₹68 Lakh to ₹85 Lakh in 2027, and a 3 BHK will cost ₹95 Lakh to ₹1.15 Crore. For luxury gated projects like Prestige Falcon City Chennai, prices start at ₹1.30 Crore for a 2 BHK and go over ₹3.50 Crore for a 4 BHK.
- Best For: Families who want good schools, nearby hospitals (like Gleneagles Global Health City), safe drinking water, and steady price growth over 5 years.
2. OMR Phase 1 (Perungudi, Thoraipakkam, Sholinganallur): The Premium Rental Engine
Sholinganallur connects Medavakkam directly to the IT highway. Because there is very little empty land left in Perungudi and Thoraipakkam, most new 2027 projects here are luxury 3 BHK and 4 BHK flats starting above ₹1.35 Crore.
- Best For: IT workers who want to live close to the office and investors who want high monthly rent. A 3 BHK flat in Sholinganallur easily gets ₹32,000 to ₹45,000 per month in rent.
3. OMR Phase 2 (Navalur, Siruseri, Kelambakkam): The Value & High-Growth Zone
If your budget is under ₹75 Lakh, the southern part of OMR is the best place to buy in 2027. Thanks to the Siruseri IT Park and upcoming Metro stations, property rates in Kelambakkam and Navalur are growing by 10% to 12% every year.
- Best For: First-time homebuyers and plot buyers. You can easily buy a modern 2 BHK flat in Kelambakkam for ₹52 Lakh to ₹62 Lakh in 2027, or buy approved land plots for ₹3,200 to ₹4,800 per sq. ft.
Ground-Level Buyer Checklist: 3 Risks to Check Before Booking in 2027
To keep your money safe and get good resale value later, check these three simple things before you book a property:
- Elevation and Flood History: Some low-lying areas near the Pallikaranai marshland (like parts of Perumbakkam, western Thoraipakkam, and inner roads of Medavakkam) had waterlogging during heavy rains in the past. Always visit the site to check how high the building sits above the main road and see if rainwater drains are ready.
- Water Supply and Piped Infrastructure: Government piped water is reaching more streets, but many big apartment societies on OMR still buy private tanker water during peak summer. Ask the builder or residents about monthly maintenance charges and water recycling systems.
- TN-RERA & Patta Verification: Only buy flats in projects that have an active TN-RERA registration number. If you are buying a land plot in Medavakkam or Kelambakkam, check that it has CMDA or DTCP approval, an online Patta in the seller's name, and a clean 30-year Encumbrance Certificate (EC).
