Casagrand Premier Builder Limited is an Indian real estate developer headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu established in 2003, developing residential and mixed-use projects across South India. The company launched its first project, Casagrand Srishti, in Thiruvanmiyur in 2004, and delivered its first major project, Casagrand Rivera, in 2006. Navalur, on the OMR IT corridor between Sholinganallur and Siruseri, has been one of the company's most active micro-markets in South Chennai, carrying a string of villa and apartment launches over the past decade rather than a single, one-off project.
Under the leadership of founder Arun MN, Casagrand has expanded its presence across key micro-markets in Chennai, offering a diverse range of residential projects. Arun MN, a first-generation businessperson with degrees in engineering and an MBA, began his professional career with Wipro before starting the company. That IT-industry background is reflected in where Casagrand chose to build at scale: the OMR stretch that grew up around Chennai's software and ITES campuses, of which Navalur is a core node.
Casagrand Aspires is located in Karanai, Navalur, registered under RERA number TN/01/Building/0158/2023, spread over 1.76 acres with a total of 316 units, priced from ₹50 lakh onwards. The project plans 2 and 3 BHK superior apartments in a 19-storey structure with 75-plus indoor and outdoor amenities. A 7,300 sq ft clubhouse anchors the community's amenity offering. The layout includes a 5,500 sq ft podium and park, a 14,000 sq ft landscaped green zone, and keeps 77% of the land area as open space to limit building density.
The project's address is Thalambur Link Road, Semmancheri, Navalur, Chennai. From this address, the Thalambur Bus Terminus is about 5 minutes away, Chennai International Airport around 20 minutes, and Tambaram Railway Station roughly 25 minutes. Educational institutions within close range include Agni College of Technology at 5 minutes and Sathyabama University at 12 minutes, alongside schools such as Athena Global School, BVM Global, and PSBB Millennium School, each within a few minutes' drive. Employment nodes are equally close, with Ozone Techno Park around 8 minutes away, Infosys about 10 minutes, and SIPCOT IT Park roughly 12 minutes, while healthcare access includes Sri Venkateswara Dental Hospital at 5 minutes and Gleneagles Global Health City around 12 minutes.
Casagrand Aspires did not arrive in Navalur as a first attempt. The developer's run in this locality includes a series of completed villa communities that established the brand here well before Aspires broke ground. Casagrand Luxeria, for instance, comprises 128 units of 3 and 4 BHK villas across 6.98 acres in Navalur. Casagrand Divinity, on Thalambur Link Road in the same locality, packed 97 independent 4 BHK triplex villas with no shared walls onto 6.29 acres. That project kept 65% of its land as open space for ventilation and greenery. Alongside these, Casagrand Grandio, Luxeria, and Amberley have offered 3 BHK villas in Navalur priced from roughly ₹71 lakh to ₹1.56 crore. The apartment and villa formats sit side by side within a few kilometres of each other, giving the developer a continuous, cumulative presence in this one OMR pocket rather than a scattering of unrelated launches.
Navalur sits on Old Mahabalipuram Road, Chennai's IT corridor, lying between Sholinganallur and Siruseri, which makes it a central point for professionals working in the IT parks and SEZs that line this road. The SIPCOT IT Park in neighbouring Siruseri is home to more than 100 companies including TCS, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, and Capgemini. Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Accenture, Capgemini, HCL, and Zoho are all reachable within 10 to 20 minutes of Navalur.
Transit infrastructure is catching up with the corridor's job base. Chennai Metro Phase II is a confirmed 118.9 km network with 128 stations across three corridors, including a Madhavaram–SIPCOT line, targeted for completion by 2028. That corridor's map shows stations planned across Sholinganallur, Semmancheri, Navalur, Siruseri, and SIPCOT.
On pricing, the average flat rate in Navalur stands at around ₹6,500 per sq ft, against a broader OMR average of ₹7,250 per sq ft. Navalur flat price trends show average rates rising by nearly 29% over two years. Navalur has turned into a real estate magnet on the strength of its IT corridor location and proximity to tech parks and educational institutions, with plot prices rising 10% to 15% annually. Prices here remain comparatively affordable next to Sholinganallur or Thoraipakkam, which is part of why the locality offers both capital appreciation and steady rental income.
Social infrastructure has matured alongside the price curve. Schools such as KC High International and Hiranandani Upscale serve local families, backed by Hindustan College of Arts & Science, Jeppiaar University, and St. Joseph's College of Engineering, with healthcare support from JS Global Hospital and Dr. Kamakshi Memorial Hospital. Navalur is also home to the Vivira and BMR malls. The locality has been seeing a further lifestyle upgrade through initiatives such as lake redevelopment projects and new sports facilities.
Casagrand Premier Builder is described as the largest developer in Chennai's residential sector, holding a market share of approximately 24% in terms of launches and approximately 20% in terms of demand between January 1, 2017 and March 31, 2024. The company has delivered 103 completed projects encompassing 21.79 million square feet of saleable area, and currently has 57 ongoing projects spanning 44.10 million square feet. In 2024, its subsidiary Casagrand Premier received SEBI approval for an initial public offering. Beyond Chennai, the company has extended operations to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Coimbatore. That scale is what sits behind a locality-level pattern like Navalur: a developer running several apartment and villa formats concurrently in one OMR pocket, backed by the balance sheet and delivery infrastructure of a company operating across four South Indian cities.
