Developers want T.N. govt. to increase floor-to-floor height to promote luxury housing in Chennai

Developers in Chennai are urging the Tamil Nadu government to increase the floor-to-floor height limit in the Third Master Plan to better promote luxury housing. They argue that the current 10-foot restriction reduces ceiling heights to nine feet, impacting the luxury experience, and that Chennai's luxury market is driven by end-users seeking an improved lifestyle. This demand was made at The Hindu Real Estate and Urban Infrastructure Summit 2026, where experts also noted a significant shift towards luxury real estate post-COVID-19.
