Spacious 15,000 sq. ft. Warehouse with Parking.

tl;dr

Space
A 1,394 sqm (15,000 sq ft) basement warehouse for rent in west Chennai, near Porur and the Mount Poonamallee corridor, with open column floor plate, industrial ceiling height and an option to build a full mezzanine. The raw shell finish suits large format retail and production builds rather than turnkey boutique fit-outs.
Best For
Multi-week sample sale space and warehouse clearance retail at volume, large scale brand activation space and immersive installations, wholesale appointment and buyer preview showrooms with stock held on site, content studio and brand shoot location work, and temporary retail pop-up store builds. Available on a book by the week basis for extended runs.
Standout Features
A dedicated loading dock plus 10,000 sq ft of on-site parking, which is rare for a Chennai floor plate of this size and removes third party logistics costs. Also included are fitting rooms, counters, garment racks and a stock room already in place, full air conditioning and heating across the floor, sound and video equipment with rigged lighting, a passenger elevator, a kitchen suitable for catering setup, a safe and a monitored security system, making the space close to move-in ready for retail formats.
Location
Positioned in the Nerkundram and Porur belt of west Chennai at coordinates 13.1011, 80.1379, roughly 10 minutes by road from the Chennai Bypass and within easy reach of Poonamallee High Road bus routes. The immediate street is low density and light industrial with a neighbourhood ration store 155 m away, so trucks and crew vehicles can arrive and unload without kerbside congestion, while guests rely on the on-site parking rather than walk-up footfall.
Availability
Minimum rental period is 56 days with a maximum term of 84 days, positioning this as a season length short-term rental rather than a weekend hire. Indicative day rate starts from USD 1.20 per sq ft equivalent basis and final pricing is brief-based and confirmed on request; allow six to eight weeks lead time in Chennai, and longer around the pre-Diwali retail peak and the January to March show and trade season when spaces at this scale book earliest.
How to Book
Enquire through Fashion Week Venues and we reply within 24h with confirmed dates, a costed brief and a floor plan, with no charge until confirmed. Permit paperwork, security and event staffing, and fit-out and mezzanine build coordination are handled by our team on the brand's behalf; request availability to hold your dates.

the neighbourhood

Export garment units, sampling rooms, buying-house QC teams and contract manufacturers make up the working fashion economy around this address, and that is the ecosystem a brand plugs into here. The belt running from Ambattur Industrial Estate along MTH Road through Padi and Korattur has supplied woven shirting, kidswear and home textiles to European and American buyers for decades, which means pattern masters, embroidery job workers, packaging suppliers, label printers and freight consolidators are all within a short drive rather than a day trip. Anna Nagar and Mogappair sit immediately east and carry the independent boutique layer, with designer studios and bridal ateliers off Second Avenue and around Thirumangalam taking their production support from exactly these industrial lanes. In our experience placing brands in this part of Chennai, teams come for capacity and control rather than visibility, using warehouse footprints as sampling hubs, sample sale space, photography bases and staging depots ahead of retail rollouts. It is a district where production and build work happens quietly and competently.

Cost per square foot and vehicle access are the two reasons brands choose this belt over Nungambakkam, Alwarpet or T. Nagar. Khader Nawaz Khan Road and Chamiers Road give you press-friendly addresses and boutique adjacency, but you are paying premium rates for a fraction of this floor area, with no loading dock and street parking that collapses by mid morning. T. Nagar and Ranganathan Street deliver enormous retail volume and almost nothing else, and Guindy and Ekkattuthangal industrial stock is priced against IT tenants rather than fashion ones. Here you get 15,000 square feet, a further 10,000 for parking, an elevator, a loading dock and mezzanine build permission for a fraction of a central Chennai number, which matters when your activation is a two month sampling and shoot programme rather than a weekend. The honest tradeoff is distance from press and buyer hotel clusters around Nungambakkam and Guindy, roughly forty minutes in Chennai traffic, and a minimum lease of eight weeks that rules out short bursts. Our venue sourcing team consistently recommends this belt for long-form operational work and not for one-night presentations.

Arrival is by vehicle, and that shapes everything about how the block behaves. Mornings from seven to ten see shift traffic, two wheelers, tempos and canteen vans moving steadily, then the lanes settle into a slow commercial rhythm through the afternoon with a ration store and a few tea stalls as the only retail presence within walking distance. It reads industrial and semi residential rather than commercial in the retail sense, and the space itself sits at basement level, so there is no shopfront and no passing eye. What we consistently hear from brand teams who activate here is that the privacy is the point, because buyer appointments, fittings and content days run without interruption and cargo moves in and out without permit friction. The garment racks, fitting rooms, counters, air conditioning and stock room already in place shorten build time considerably. Be clear on the limitation before enquiring, because this neighbourhood is wrong for walk-in temporary retail, tourist footfall or any brand needing street visibility, and better options for that exist when you browse all spaces.

the neighbourhood

Ambattur Aeri, or Ambattur Lake, is a rain-fed reservoir which reaches top levels during the monsoon seasons. In November 2008, incessant monsoon rain filled the lake and encroachments on the north and south banks of the lake were demolished. It also caters to the drinking water needs of the Chennai city after Poondi and Chembarambakkam Lake.
