The real estate firm will begin construction of DLF Downtown by delivering around 2.5 million sq feet of area in the first phase, DLF CEO Mohit Gujral told at the foundation stone laying function.

Gujral added that Tamil Nadu has immense talent as well as favorable business environment and therefore, it has been a destination of choice for many corporates and multi-national companies (MNCs).

DLF Downtown project will be spread across 27 acres and is expected to be completed in 5-6 years. The project will be developed by DLF’s joint venture firm with GIC named DLF Cyber City Developers Limited (DCCDL).
