Chennai One

What Chennai One does

Chennai One, operated by IG3 Infra Limited, is a Grade-A IT Special Economic Zone (SEZ) campus located on Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) in Thoraipakkam, Chennai. The 20-plus acre campus comprises 3.6 million square feet of built-up area across three towers — Chennai One Alpha (8 storeys) and Chennai One Magnum Opus (two 11-storeyed towers) — and offers the largest floor plate among Chennai IT parks at approximately 1,24,000 sq ft, with a total seated capacity of roughly 25,000. Differentiated infrastructure includes Chennai city's first 110 KV gas-insulated substation, 24/7 CCTV and biometric access, an 80,000 sq ft food court, a 300-seater amphitheatre, and a commitment to 100% grid-based green power by 2025.

The business leases office space on multi-year, subscription-style recurring rent contracts, with rent negotiated per tenant alongside CAM charges, parking, and fit-out fees, and is augmented by the SEZ's fiscal benefits for qualifying occupiers. Its customer base spans IT and ITES firms, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), BFSI support functions, engineering and automotive technology teams, data and analytics operations, e-commerce players, and early-stage startups — supported by named occupants such as OEConnection (OEC). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct website enquiry capture, layered over content marketing, SEO, and a presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube to drive top-of-funnel demand from companies researching IT office space in Chennai.

Revenue is generated primarily through monthly or annual rental payments on leased floor area, with no public disclosure of total revenue, occupancy, or pricing in the available source material. Pricing is quote-based within a Chennai OMR/SEZ market band of roughly ₹55–75 per sq ft per month on rent plus ₹8–12 per sq ft per month in CAM. Operating entity IG3 Infra Limited is a privately held company incorporated in Tamil Nadu, with no disclosed parent, institutional investor, or public listing.

Regional players

• Manyata Tech Park: Large Grade-A IT/business park in Bengaluru operated under the Embassy portfolio. Regional peer — directly comparable on IT park product and MNC tenant base, but located in Bengaluru rather than Chennai and so does not directly compete for Chennai mandates.

Direct peers

• RMZ Corp: One of India's largest privately-held commercial real estate developers with a portfolio of large-scale IT/business parks. RMZ is a direct comparable to Chennai One in asset class (Grade-A IT office), tenant base (MNCs and GCCs), and revenue model (long-term office leasing), though at greater national scale.
• Mindspace Business Parks REIT: Listed REIT owning Grade-A IT/business parks across Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai. Direct comparable to Chennai One on product (IT SEZ office parks), tenant profile (IT majors and GCCs), and revenue model (long-term triple-net leases).
• Prestige Group: Pan-India real estate developer with significant Grade-A commercial office assets (e.g., Prestige Tech Park, Cessna Business Park). Comparable to Chennai One on IT park product, tenant mix, and South-India geographic exposure.
• Brigade Enterprises: South India-focused real estate developer with a commercial leasing portfolio including Brigade Tech Parks in Bengaluru and Chennai. Direct peer on Chennai-relevant commercial office exposure and IT park product, with overlapping IT/ITES tenant base.
• Embassy Office Parks REIT: India's first listed office REIT, owning and operating large office/IT parks including Embassy Tech Village and Manyata Tech Park. Directly comparable business model (institutional office leasing) and tenant mix (IT/ITES and GCC occupiers), though diversified across multiple Indian cities.

Broad incumbents

• Hiranandani Group: Indian real estate developer known for large-scale integrated townships including commercial/IT office parks (e.g., Hiranandani Business Park, Powai). Broad incumbent peer — comparable Grade-A IT park product, though primarily Mumbai-focused and operating at different geographic scale.
• Tata Realty and Infrastructure: Real estate arm of the Tata Group with growing IT/commercial office portfolio. Broad incumbent peer — competes for the same IT/ITES and enterprise occupier segment, supported by the Tata brand and superior access to capital than a private operator like Chennai One.
• Godrej Properties (commercial portfolio): One of India's largest listed real estate developers with a growing commercial office portfolio including Grade-A IT parks. Broad incumbent — comparable on product type and enterprise tenant mix, though typically operates at greater scale and via joint-development structures.
• DLF Cyber City (DLF Limited): India's largest listed real estate developer with significant Grade-A commercial/IT office exposure. Broad incumbent peer — operates at much greater national scale than Chennai One but competes for the same IT/ITES and GCC tenant mandates across India.
