A campus office building designed around daylight, speed, and a continuous green spine
Chennai
International Tech Park Chennai is a 3.43 million sq ft Grade-A commercial campus developed for CapitaLand, one of Asia’s largest diversified real estate groups. Conceived as India’s first IGBC-certified net-zero business park, the development achieves net-zero performance across energy, water, and waste while establishing a benchmark for environmentally responsive workplace design. Certified IGBC Platinum and WELL pre-certified, the campus balances operational efficiency, occupant wellbeing, and long-term sustainability within a flexible multi-tenant framework.
Located within Chennai’s emerging IT corridor, the masterplan is organised around clarity of movement and climatic comfort. A shaded pedestrian spine along the eastern edge connects workplace clusters and informal gathering spaces, activating the ground plane while enabling protected movement across the campus. Vehicular circulation and service functions are confined to the western edge, allowing a landscaped central plaza between two office towers to serve as the project’s social and environmental heart.
Each 45-metre-tall tower comprises three basement parking levels, a retail podium, ten office floors, and a rooftop wellness terrace. At its centre, a naturally illuminated atrium integrates hydroponic vertical gardens that enhance indoor environmental quality while drawing daylight deep into the workplace. High-performance glazed façades with laminated glass fins provide solar control and daylight optimisation, while landscaped refuge balconies soften the towers’ linear profile.
Designed around floorplates of approximately 1,00,000 sq. ft., the towers can accommodate either single occupiers or multiple independent tenancies. Intelligent building controls, hybrid HVAC systems, digital-twin metering, greywater treatment, rainwater harvesting, aquifer recharge, and comprehensive waste-diversion strategies work in concert to deliver measurable environmental performance. The result is a future-focused commercial campus that aligns workplace quality with ambitious sustainability goals.
