Chennai, November 13, 2026: Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has awarded a contract worth ₹446.88 crore to Capacite Infraprojects Limited for constructing four commercial buildings near Thirumangalam Metro Station.
The project will feature a distinctive architectural design in which an elevated Metro viaduct passes through the building complex, integrating public transportation with commercial development.
Metro Train to Pass Through Building Complex
The project forms part of Chennai Metro’s Phase II expansion and will be developed across 3.85 acres of land along Corridor 5.
The development will include four towers constructed on either side of the elevated Metro alignment.
The Phase II Thirumangalam Metro Station will be located between Towers B and C, allowing commuters to access the station directly from the integrated complex.
The design aims to improve connectivity and make public transportation more convenient for commuters.
Four Commercial Towers Planned
According to project details, the buildings will have different configurations.
Towers A and C will each include three basement levels, a ground floor and nine upper floors.
Tower B will have a ground floor and nine upper floors, while Tower D will include a ground floor and two additional floors.
The construction contract covers civil engineering, architectural finishes, plumbing, electrical installations, ventilation systems, lifts and related infrastructure.
₹446.88-Crore Contract Awarded
CMRL has selected Capacite Infraprojects Limited to execute the construction project.
The development is expected to be completed within 24 months from the commencement of work.
The project forms part of the Metro authority’s broader strategy to strengthen infrastructure and develop commercial spaces around important transport hubs.
Transit-Oriented Development to Improve Connectivity
The Thirumangalam project is being developed under CMRL’s Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) initiative.
The approach focuses on integrating commercial properties with public transport facilities to improve accessibility and encourage greater use of Metro services.
By developing buildings around existing transport infrastructure, CMRL aims to make better use of available land and create additional non-fare revenue opportunities.
Chennai Metro Phase II Expansion Continues
Chennai Metro continues expanding its network through major infrastructure projects designed to improve urban mobility.
The Thirumangalam development is expected to provide direct access between commercial buildings and Metro services, reducing the need for additional travel between the two.
Once completed, the integrated project could become a distinctive example of transport-oriented urban development in Chennai.
