Updated 23 October 2026. We read every 2026 entry on the TNRERA building register and picked out OMR, ECR and the Thiruvanmiyur–Besant Nagar edge. Registration is the legal precondition for marketing a project, so this is a cleaner list of what is genuinely new than portal 'new launch' tags. Unit counts, configurations and completion dates are as declared to TNRERA.

What to check before you book

  • Search the TNRERA number on rera.tn.gov.in and read the approval letters. Villa projects approved plot by plot list a separate building permission for each plot; check yours is among them.
  • For layouts in panchayat areas, check the DTCP layout approval and the patta for your plot: Patta Chitta Online: Check, Transfer, Fees, TSLR, DTCP & CMDA (Chennai 2026)
  • Ask how water, sewage and roads inside the layout will be handed over, and to whom.
  • On OMR south of Sholinganallur and on ECR, visit in the monsoon to see drainage at the gate and on the approach road.
  • Read the registered completion date as the outer limit and get the expected possession date in writing.
