Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman of Hirco, commented: "We are very pleased with the continued response to Hiranandani Palace Gardens as demand continues to be strong. These results demonstrate the strong quality of our product and the high standard of living provided by our mixed-use townships."
Pre-construction sales for the Chennai township started in May 2007 and construction began in August 2007.
Hiranandani Palace Gardens has a total buildable area of approximately 30.1 million square feet, 21.5 million of which will be residential. Palace Gardens will offer a range of apartment sizes and styles designed to appeal to the employees of major international companies located within the township's catchment area.
The township will be constructed over three phases, all building to a unique master plan. Hiranandani Palace Gardens will be a self-sustaining community with offices, schools, health care facilities, shops, recreational facilities, and public space set within 369 acres. The township, located south west of Chennai, has easy access to the international airport, the national highway system, and rail transport.
