Taramani's DLF story is Downtown Phase 2: two office towers on the OMR IT corridor, with a March 2027 handover listed by DLF. Leasing is on request, and we send terms fast.
Taramani sits at the northern end of Chennai's Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) IT corridor, a few minutes from Adyar, Velachery and Thiruvanmiyur. It is one of the few places in the city where a large office campus, a rail station, a research park and established neighbourhoods all sit side by side. That mix is why companies keep asking which DLF space is coming here.
The answer is DLF Downtown Phase 2. It is a pair of Grade A office towers with about 3.6 million sq ft of space, listed as under construction, and it is the new space being built in the DLF campus at Taramani. Leasing is on request: you share your seat count, size and timeline, and the leasing team replies with terms.
Taramani is an office story, not a home-launch story. DLF's current Taramani listing is for companies, investors in commercial space and tenants planning a move. If you are searching for apartments, register your budget and we send the first price list the day DLF announces a Chennai residential project.
This page walks through what DLF has here, how the location works, how to plan seats and floors, how to compare it with nearby areas, what TNRERA means for you, and the steps to start a leasing conversation.
The Taramani listing covers the Phase 2 office towers, an early Guindy name and a register-interest card for office space. Share your seat count and we reply with leasing terms.

Phase 2 has two towers, DT4 and DT5, with a combined area of about 3.6 million sq ft. DLF's plan includes pocket terraces every two floors, so staff can step out into open air without leaving the building, and a plaza of about 2.7 acres is planned for the campus.
DLF lists the handover as March 2027. Like any building under construction, the date can move, so ask for the latest construction status in writing before you commit your own move date or give notice on your current office.
The scale matters for planning. Large floor plates suit teams that want to sit together on fewer floors, which cuts the time people spend in lifts and corridors. Smaller teams can discuss floor sharing or phased entry with the leasing team.
DLF usually keeps and leases its office assets. That means you should expect a lease agreement, not a sale deed for an individual unit. The commercial terms, such as lock-in, escalation and fit-out period, are discussed with the leasing team and are not published on a public price list.
Taramani is known for Tidel Park, one of Chennai's best-known IT parks, and for the research park linked to IIT Madras. Together they have drawn technology firms, start-ups and research teams to the area for years, which gives the neighbourhood a steady daytime population.
The Tharamani MRTS station, part of Chennai's suburban rail network, serves the area and links it to the Beach to Velachery line. The Taramani Link Road and the Rajiv Gandhi Salai (OMR) connect it south to Perungudi and Sholinganallur and north to the city. Chennai Metro Rail is expanding, and routes along the OMR belt are part of the wider plan, so check the current status of any station near your site.
Residential neighbourhoods such as Adyar, Besant Nagar, Thiruvanmiyur, Kotturpuram and Velachery are close enough for most employees to live nearby. That keeps the commute short for many staff and helps with hiring and retention.
Traffic on OMR peaks in the morning and evening. Visit at your own office hours, not at noon, before you judge how long the trip will take.

For investors in commercial space, ask for the leasing profile and tenant mix before deciding.
Start with people, not square feet. Count the seats you need today, add the seats you expect to need in two to three years, and decide how many people will be in the office on a normal day. Hybrid work has changed this number for many firms, so decide it with your own attendance data.
A rough planning rule many occupiers use is around 100 sq ft per seat, including meeting rooms and common areas. Treat it only as a starting point. Your layout, the share of open desks versus cabins, and your amenity needs can move the number up or down, so ask the leasing team for sample layouts.
Next, set your timeline. If you plan to move in the March 2027 window, you need to decide on floors, sign the agreement and complete the fit-out well before. Ask how long the fit-out period is and whether rent starts on handover or after the fit-out window.
Then compare the full cost, not only the rent per sq ft. Ask about common area maintenance, parking charges, power backup, security deposit, lock-in period and yearly escalation. Put these in one sheet so that two offers can be compared side by side.
Finally, check what your people need: parking, food courts, nearby housing and public transport. A well-priced office loses its value if staff find the commute hard.

Leasing terms are shared by the leasing team after a requirement is received.
IT and IT-enabled firms are the first fit. Taramani puts you in the middle of an established talent pool, with rail and road links, and close to the neighbourhoods where many engineers already live.
Global capability centres and large corporates fit too. They tend to want certified, well-managed buildings with predictable power, security and parking, and those are the points to test during site visits.
Smaller companies and start-ups can ask about shared floors or smaller blocks. If your seat count is below a full floor, say so in the first message, so the team can suggest the right route.
Investors should be careful. DLF leases its office towers, so there is usually no unit for an individual to buy. If someone offers you a share or an office unit in Phase 2, ask for written proof and the TNRERA record before you pay anything.
Home buyers should treat this page as a way to get alerts. The Taramani and OMR belt is popular for rented homes because of its job base, which is one reason buyers keep an eye on the area.
Perungudi and Sholinganallur are further south on OMR. They have many IT parks and more land for large campuses, and rents are often different from those near Taramani. They suit companies that want bigger blocks and are fine with a longer trip for staff living in the north or centre of the city.
Guindy is central and close to the airport, the industrial estate and the main road network. It suits firms that need access from the whole city, including the western and southern suburbs. DLF's Guindy name is an early listing only, with no homes announced, so use it as an alert rather than as a plan.
Velachery and Thiruvanmiyur are close residential neighbours. They matter to you as an occupier because they decide how easy it is to hire and how long people spend in transit.
Whichever you compare, visit at peak hours, ask each landlord for the same list of costs, and score each place on commute, cost, building quality and expansion room. A simple five-point score for each point often settles the argument.
In Tamil Nadu, projects fall under TNRERA, the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority. Commercial and residential projects above the size limits must be registered, and the registration page lists promoter details, approvals and the quarterly progress updates.
For an office lease, you are not buying a unit, but the registration is still useful. It shows who the promoter is, what approvals are in place and what the planned completion date is. Check the project name and number match what the leasing team gives you.
Also ask for the occupancy or completion certificate position once the building nears handover, the fire clearance, and the lease deed draft. Your lawyer should read the lease, especially the clauses on lock-in, exit, escalation, repairs and restoration at the end of the term.
If a broker quotes a number that is not on the public record, treat that as a reason to ask more questions, not to hurry.
A clean process saves weeks. Follow it in order.
