TNHB kick-starts construction of ₹103-cr housing towers

The Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) has started the construction work on a high-rise residential project at Old Circuit House colony near Mannarpuram in the city involving ₹103.5 crore investments. Four skyscrapers with 14-15 floors each will come up at the site housing 464 residential units. The old housing units at the site were demolished paving the way for the new construction for which all the mandatory clearances have been put in place. Block 1 and 2 shall have 14 floors each, while block 3 and 4 will house 15 floors each. The facility is estimated to generate 1,242 kg of waste per day of which non-biodegradable waste will be recycled through scrap vendors. The TNHB complex will get green space with a play area for children, community hall and likely a library. The project is being taken up under the Tamil Nadu government servants' rental housing scheme and will be completed in two years.
