The Prestige Falcon City Chennai RERA Number and Approval Status is now in the final checking stage with the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TNRERA), and the official number will be out before the grand launch on December 15, 2026. Since this 23-acre apartment project on Medavakkam–Sholinganallur Road is in its pre-launch stage, the builder (Prestige Group) has given the master plan, land papers, and building drawings to the state board for checking. Once this check is done, the official TNRERA number will be shared on the government website. This gives homebuyers full legal safety, a fixed handover date, and clear price details before bookings start.

Quick Snapshot: Regulatory & Project Overview

For buyers checking the legal details of this project, the table below shows the current approval status and basic project facts in simple terms:

Understanding the Current Approval Status of Prestige Falcon City Chennai

When you buy a home in a pre-launch project, it is important to know its exact legal status. A big township with 2,170 flats does not get approved in one day. It has to pass through several government checks first.

Right now, Prestige Group has bought the 23 acres of land in Medavakkam and finished the building plan for 11 blocks (22 towers). Before TNRERA gives a RERA number, the builder must get basic approvals from local offices. Here is the current status of the main approvals:

• Clear Land Papers: Prestige Group has clear ownership papers for the 23-acre land near Global Hospital in Medavakkam. An Encumbrance Certificate (EC) check shows that the land has no legal fights or unpaid bank loans.
• CMDA and GCC Building Plan Approvals: The master plan—which has 2 Basements + Ground + 14 Floors in each tower—has been given to the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) and the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) for layout and building approval.
• Safety and Nature Approvals (NOCs): Tall apartment buildings need No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from the Airport Authority (for building height, as Chennai Airport is 12–14 km away), the Pollution Control Board, and the Fire Department. Because Medavakkam has faced rainwater logging in the past, buyers should also check for proper rainwater drain approvals in the final CMDA plan.
• TNRERA Application: After submitting the local papers, the builder has applied for TNRERA approval. Under the RERA law, no builder can advertise flat prices, sign final sale papers, or take more than 10% of the flat's cost until they get the RERA number.

Crucial Alert for Buyers: Avoid the "Bangalore vs. Chennai" RERA Mix-Up

When you search for this project on the internet, you might see some property websites showing a RERA number like PRM/KA/RERA/1251/310/PR/170913/000114.

Do not mix this up with the Chennai project. That number belongs to an old, completed project called Prestige Falcon City on Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru (approved by Karnataka RERA).

For the Medavakkam project in South Chennai, the RERA number will be given only by TNRERA (Tamil Nadu RERA). A real Tamil Nadu RERA number always starts with TN/29/Building/... or TN/01/Building/... followed by the year and code. Always check that the certificate starts with "TN" before you sign any booking form.

How TNRERA Approval Protects Your Investment in Medavakkam

Waiting for the official Prestige Falcon City Chennai RERA number is not just a rule; it gives homebuyers five big safety benefits for their money and flat:

• The 70% Separate Bank Account Rule: After getting RERA approval, Prestige Group must keep 70% of the money paid by buyers in a separate bank account. They can use this money only to buy materials and build this Medavakkam project. They cannot use your money for other projects.
• Clear Carpet Area Pricing: Pre-launch brochures usually show the "Super Built-up Area" (1,001 to 2,735 sq. ft.). Once the RERA number comes out, the builder must clearly tell you the RERA Carpet Area. This is the real floor space inside the walls of your flat. Your final price will be based on this exact space.
• No Secret Changes to the Plan: Once TNRERA approves the plan, the builder cannot change the tower design, cut down the 80% open green space, make the 70,000 sq. ft. clubhouse smaller, or add extra floors without asking at least two-thirds of the buyers in writing.
• On-Time Handover Promise: The building work will finish by June 30, 2031, and keys will be given by December 31, 2031. Once this date is fixed in RERA, if the builder delays the project without a valid reason, they must pay monthly interest to the buyer.
• 5-Year Free Repair Guarantee: For five full years after you get your flat keys in 2031, Prestige Group must fix any wall cracks, water leaks, or bad building quality for free within 30 days of your complaint.
