A home beside Retteri Lake, where open sky and calm water define every morning
2 & 3 BHK · Starting ₹85 Lakhs onwards
Urbanrise The Lakes Edge is a gated residential community set on 5 acres beside Retteri Lake in Madhavaram, North Chennai. Four high-rise towers — each rising Basement plus Stilt plus 18 floors — contain 556 homes configured as 2 BHK and 3 BHK apartments, all built using MIVAN aluminium formwork technology for structural rigidity and a smoother finish. The project is registered under Tamil Nadu RERA as TN/29/Building/0083/2025 and is targeted for possession by September 2028.
The site plan is arranged so that approximately 70 percent of the 5-acre footprint — around 152,000 sq ft — is given over to parks, gardens, and open recreational ground. Roads and basement parking are pushed to the perimeter, so the interior of the community remains pedestrian and the lake remains visible from the common zones. Apartments are designed without common walls shared with neighbours, giving each unit three-sided ventilation and a measurably quieter acoustic environment.
The amenity programme spans three distinct layers: ground level (18,600 sq ft of landscaped green park), a 26,800 sq ft clubhouse with an indoor gymnasium, swimming pool, mini theatre, library, co-working spaces, and Urbanrise Genius — a dedicated children's knowledge centre — and a 22,000 sq ft rooftop Sky Hub with lake-view decks, a barbeque and dining terrace, yoga deck, and reading lounge. In total, the project lists over 100 amenity touchpoints, from a pickleball court and zen garden at ground level to a game zone and seating deck at the top floor.
Urbanrise is a part of the Alliance Group, a Bengaluru-headquartered real estate platform that has been active in South India since the late 1990s. The Alliance Group portfolio stands at over 72 million sq ft under development across Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, with more than 22,000 homes already delivered. Urbanrise itself was established in 2017 and operates as the residential apartment arm of this group, with projects funded in part by Abu Dhabi Investment Authority through Kotak Real Estate Fund and Indostar Capital Finance. The Lakes Edge is among the developer's current active launches in Chennai North.
For buyers evaluating Madhavaram, the timing is meaningful. Chennai Metro Phase 2 Corridor 5 — running from Madhavaram to Sholinganallur across 47 km — is under construction, with the Madhavaram Milk Colony interchange station expected to enter service in phases from 2026 onwards. Owning on the lakefront at this address, before metro connectivity becomes operational, positions a buyer at the intersection of a maturing neighbourhood and an expanding city transit grid.

VS Mani Nagar, Madhavaram, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600110 · Madhavaram · Chennai
Madhavaram sits in the northern quadrant of Chennai, positioned along the Grand Northern Trunk Road (GNT Road) with direct road access to Perambur, Anna Nagar, Koyambedu, and Chennai Central Railway Station — all within 12 to 22 minutes by road. The neighbourhood has evolved steadily over the past decade from a largely industrial buffer zone into a sought-after residential address, anchored by the presence of Wipro SEZ, Prince Info Park, and a growing belt of retail, healthcare, and educational infrastructure.
Urbanrise The Lakes Edge sits adjacent to Retteri Lake on Balaji Nagar Road in VS Mani Nagar, one of the quieter sub-pockets within Madhavaram. The Guntur-Chennai Highway runs in close proximity, and the Madhavaram Intercity Bus Terminus is approximately 700 metres from the project gate. Chennai Metro Phase 2 — with the Madhavaram Milk Colony station serving as the interchange node for Corridors 3 and 5 — is under active construction, and the first section between Madhavaram and Retteri is targeted for completion by late 2026, placing the project directly in the path of the city's next major transit upgrade.

The Madhavaram Milk Colony station serves as the northern terminus interchange for Corridors 3 and 5 of Chennai Metro Phase 2, connecting Madhavaram to SIPCOT (45.8 km) and Madhavaram to Sholinganallur (47 km). Construction is active, with the Madhavaram–Retteri section targeted by late 2026.
A 47 km elevated and underground metro corridor linking North Chennai to the southern IT belt at Sholinganallur. Once operational, it reduces cross-city travel time significantly for Madhavaram residents, directly improving commute access to OMR tech parks.
The Madhavaram depot is planned as the largest maintenance depot in the Chennai Metro network under Phase 2. Its presence in Madhavaram signals long-term investment by the state and central government in the northern corridor's transit infrastructure.
The GNT Road that passes through Madhavaram has seen progressive road widening and junction improvement works by NHAI, improving traffic flow toward Chennai Central and the northern industrial belt, reducing average commute times from the area.
The Madhavaram Mofussil Bus Terminus, approximately 700 metres from The Lakes Edge, is one of Chennai's largest inter-city bus hubs. Ongoing capacity and facility upgrades ensure residents have direct state transport connectivity to cities across Tamil Nadu and neighbouring states.
The project sits directly beside Retteri Lake in VS Mani Nagar, Madhavaram. Around 70 percent of the 5-acre site is open green space, and multiple apartment orientations are designated lake-facing or park-facing, giving residents uninterrupted views of the water from their homes.
All four towers are built using MIVAN aluminium formwork, a cast-in-place concrete system that produces monolithic walls and slabs. This method delivers measurably higher structural strength, reduced construction joints, and a smoother interior finish compared to conventional brick and mortar construction.
Every apartment at The Lakes Edge is designed so that no wall is shared with a neighbouring unit. Combined with three-sided ventilation, this gives each home greater acoustic privacy, better natural airflow, and a sense of standalone living within a gated community.
The Madhavaram Milk Colony Metro interchange station for Chennai Metro Phase 2 Corridors 3 and 5 is approximately 8 minutes from the project. With the Madhavaram–Retteri section targeted for completion by late 2026, buyers entering today are positioned ahead of the metro premium.
The amenity programme runs across ground-level gardens (18,600 sq ft), a clubhouse (26,800 sq ft) housing a gym, pool, mini theatre, co-working spaces, and children's Genius Centre, and a rooftop Sky Hub (22,000 sq ft) with lake-view dining, yoga, and a game zone — one of the more layered amenity stacks in North Chennai.
Urbanrise is the residential arm of the Alliance Group, which has a development portfolio of over 72 million sq ft across South India. The Lakes Edge is backed by institutional capital from Abu Dhabi Investment Authority via Kotak Real Estate Fund, adding a layer of financial oversight that is uncommon for projects in this price segment.
