From enabling the rapid expansion of Global Capability Centres to creating high-quality, environmentally compliant office spaces, developers have a crucial role to play in shaping a future-ready city. At the same time, we must go deeper into the housing market beyond the top end to unlock real demand through rental and truly affordable housing that serves the common citizen. With progressive reforms, expanding metro connectivity, and a clear push for transparency, Chennai could lead by example in inclusive, sustainable urban development.” “This year, CREDAI National is placing a strong emphasis on reforestation as a collective responsibility of our sector. I urge CREDAI Chennai and Tamil Nadu to partner with the Tamil Nadu government in identifying land parcels and driving meaningful reforestation initiatives, especially along the Western Ghats region. Through our new initiative, we encourage every developer to plant 30 trees for every home sold—empowering homebuyers with ownership, certification, and the ability to monitor their green contribution. This must go beyond symbolic planting to sustained environmental stewardship.” said Mr. M A Mehaboob, Vice President, CREDAI National Mr. S Sridharan, EC Member, CREDAI National; Mr. Suresh Krishn, Joint Secretary, CREDAI National; and Mr. W S Habib, President, CREDAI Tamil Nadu, extended a warm welcome to the newly inducted team and conveyed their best wishes during the Investiture Ceremony.
