In a defining moment for Chennai’s evolving real estate landscape, Urbanrise has unveiled “Whispers of Sky”, a design-led luxury residential development in Sholinganallur, created in collaboration with acclaimed designer Gauri Khan. Marking her first-ever design partnership with a South India-based developer, the project signals a shift in realty’s reality—where design is no longer an accessory, but the foundation of modern urban living.
- Gauri Khan collaborates with Urbanrise to craft a design-first luxury landmark in Sholinganallur
- Architecture meets artistry with privacy-centric layouts, grand volumes and lifestyle-driven spatial planning
- Next-generation homes blend wellness, sustainability and aspirational living for Chennai’s evolving urban elite
Spread across approximately 6.09 acres, the development will feature 623 premium residences in Phase 1, comprising spacious 3 BHK homes and an exclusive 4 BHK tower, envisioned for upwardly mobile professionals and families seeking refined living experiences.
Design That Transforms Space into Experience
At the heart of Whispers of Sky lies a philosophy rooted in spatial intelligence, aesthetic clarity and elevated everyday living.
The homes are defined by thoughtful architectural detailing, including:
- Grand double-height entrance lobbies
- Impressive 10.2-foot floor-to-ceiling heights
- Apartments designed without shared common walls for enhanced privacy
- Layouts that maximise natural light, cross ventilation and spatial fluidity
These design principles ensure that each residence feels expansive, private and organically connected to its surroundings—addressing the evolving expectations of modern homeowners who prioritise both functionality and emotional comfort.

Sholinganallur: Chennai’s New Epicentre of Aspirational Living
