Navalur is a rapidly growing south suburban of Chennai, India. It is situated in Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu and located just 5 kms from Sholinganalur junction along Old Mahabalipuram Road. Navalur is located between Sholinganallur and Kelambakkam and comes under Thiruporur taluk. This area was once a village(around 2010) but with the advent of IT Companies and the rapid development of the Old Mahabalipuram Road, it has become a bustling and most demanded location in Chennai. Navalur is a good residential area with many number of Flats coming up, mostly professionals from IT companies renting and buying apartments.
Shopping malls like VIVIRA mall, Grand Marina mall are located in this area with presence of HOTEL SARAVANA BHAVAN and Sangeetha restaurant.
Moreover, Navalur has become The Shopping Hub in OMR for nearby areas(Sholinganalur to Thiruporur) like Sholinganalur, Chemmanchery, Thalambur, Padur, Kelambakkam, Pudupakkam, Thiruporur, etc.. due to availability of International and National brand stores in this area.
Sholinganalur-Navalur-Siruseri zone consists of around 40% IT professionals in Chennai especially in ELCOT and SIPCOT campus. Moreover this zone will create another 1 IT lakh jobs in next few years since many builders are constructing Grade-A IT parks here. With this huge development in short period of time in terms of both commercial and residential developments, Navalur is considered as The Next Velachery in Chennai.
