Express Exclusive: redefining luxury in Chennai
Chennai, commonly dubbed as the ‘Detroit of India’ has fast become a hub for property development. Om Ahuja, CEO, Residential Services, Jones Lang LaSalle says, "The three key growth drivers of IT / ITes, automobile manufacturing and education sector are instrumental in driving job creation in Chennai." This in turn, has propelled the demand for quality housing in the city. Much to the surprise of experts, this traditionally conservative city has witnessed a boom not only in the middle range but also in the luxury apartments segment. In the face of this huge demand, the task to offer unique products in residential projects is the current mantra for developers.
A point to note is that the increase in demand is not only for mid range apartments but also luxury homes. This is because to the affluent customer, a house is also a symbol of the owner’s position in society; and developers in Chennai are striving to keep up with the surge in demand for ultra luxury flats.
Express Exclusive Developers Pvt. Ltd., a division of the Express Group of Newspapers has taken luxury to a new high. Among the notable upcoming projects in the premium segment, Express Exclusive offers never-seen-before luxury - fully furnished apartments replete with amenities for a complete contemporary lifestyle.

Each luxury residential apartment is a technologically-equipped smart home - with iPad controlled air-conditioning and lighting, gas and fire detectors, and Smart Card Access Control. These luxury homes enjoy 3 way cross-ventilation with ample natural light. With 75% open area, a rainwater harvesting, water and sewage treatment plant, Express Exclusive is totally environment-friendly. The project has received Platinum LEED rating under the U.S. Green Building Council guidelines.
