The Tamil Nadu Housing Board is initiating preliminary work to construct new apartment-type flats on two land parcels in the Race Course area. The project aims to replace dilapidated structures that were demolished nearly a decade ago.
Why it matters
This development addresses urban housing needs and revitalizes long-vacant government-owned land in a prime urban location.
The Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) has undertaken preliminary works for the fructification of the proposal to construct apartment-type flats in its two land parcels in the upscale Race Course area, under rental housing scheme.
Initiatives are in place for widening the roads leading to the properties, according to official sources.
The TNHB is in the process of securing the permissions of the Police and Forest Departments, and the Directorate of Town and Country Planning, a senior official said.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development had directed the TNHB to undertake the project at DFO Compound and Thomas Park Housing Unit.
In July, Minister for Housing and Urban Development P. Rajkumar inspected the two locations and instructed officials to prepare the proposal for the project under rental scheme at the two properties, one measuring 3.3 acres and the other 6.41 acres.
