DRA Centralia
DRA Centralia is a completed apartment community by DRA Homes on Thalambur Road in Navalur, along Chennai's southern IT corridor. A single 14-storey block holds 178 homes on a 2-acre site. Possession has been under way since March 2023, so you can inspect a finished flat before you pay.
Two layouts are on offer: a 2 BHK of 979 sq ft from ₹41.73 lakh and a 2.5 BHK of 1,040 sq ft from ₹45.13 lakh. The entry rate works out to about ₹4,250 per sq ft. The extra half-room in the larger plan suits a study, a nursery or a work-from-home corner.
Construction uses a raft foundation, a seismic Zone 3 RCC frame, vitrified flooring and UPVC windows with bug mesh. Three stretcher lifts, CCTV and intercom-linked security serve the tower. Residents share a clubhouse, gym, indoor games room, party area, jogging trail and terrace solar space.

Location
Navalur, Thalambur Rd, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600130
Landmark: Thalambur Road
DRA Centralia is on Thalambur Road in Navalur, pincode 600130, within Chennai's OMR IT corridor. Several apartment projects line this road, so the neighbourhood is already lived-in rather than speculative. Compare the project's exact frontage with its neighbours when you visit.
Since residents have been moving in since 2023, you can judge the approach road first-hand. Try one visit at the morning peak and another in the evening. That gives a truer read on commute times than any map estimate.

| Unit Type | Size (Sq.Ft) |
|---|---|
| 2 BHK | 979 Sq.ft |
| 2.5 BHK | 1040 Sq.ft |
The 2 BHK spans 979 sq ft and starts at ₹41.73 lakh, while the 2.5 BHK covers 1,040 sq ft from ₹45.13 lakh. The 61 sq ft difference buys a flexible half-room rather than a full third bedroom. Plans are drawn for east, west, north and south facings, so orientation is a real choice here.
Both layouts can be viewed as finished homes, which makes comparing light and ventilation easy. Floor level within the 14-storey block also shifts pricing. Request the floor-wise rate card before you shortlist a unit.
