Hiranandani Parks, formerly known as Hirco Palace Gardens, is a 149-hectare (369-acre) residential township consisting of several skyscraper condominiums in Chennai, India. It is located in the southern suburb of Oragadam. [1]
The Hiranandani Parks township project was initiated in 2006 by the Hiranandani Group, a real estate development company known for its projects in Mumbai. [2] The company acquired a large parcel of land near Oragadam, approximately 40 km from the centre of Chennai. [3]
Covering approximately 360 acres, Hiranandani Parks is among the larger township developments in the region. [3] The master plan includes residential apartments, standalone houses, recreational facilities, commercial spaces, and landscaped open areas. [4] Construction was carried out in phases, with the initial residential units completed and occupied in the early 2010s. [5]
Companies such as Renault-Nissan, Daimler AG, and Apollo Tyres, along with several auto component manufacturers, have established facilities in the Oragadam Industrial Corridor. [6]
The township is accessible via major arterial roads and is approximately 45 minutes by road from Chennai International Airport. [4] Proposals for expansion of the Chennai Suburban Railway network [7] and new metro lines [8] [9] are expected to improve regional connectivity.
The township features a combination of high-rise buildings and low-rise residential units. [4] The architectural design includes elements such as neoclassical façades, internal roads, gardens, and dedicated spaces for amenities. [5]
Housing options include two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments as well as independent villas. [4] Facilities include jogging tracks, playgrounds, gardens, a clubhouse, and sports infrastructure such as stadiums and a golf course. Environmental features such as rainwater harvesting systems and green building practices are also integrated into the project. [5]
The construction and ongoing operation of Hiranandani Parks have generated employment opportunities in the surrounding area. Local businesses, transport providers, and service vendors have experienced increased activity due to the residential population and associated commercial activity. [5]
The development occupies a 153-hectare (379-acre) site [3] and includes 27 residential towers, with building heights ranging from 16 to 28 floors. The tallest structures reach a height of 104 m (341 ft). The township includes a 820-foot (250 m), 12-bay golf driving range and a proposed nine-hole golf course covering approximately 20 hectares (50 acres). [10]
