Actress Nayanthara and her husband Vigneshwar Sivakolundu have quietly added another gem to their impressive real estate portfolio—a lavish duplex apartment in Chennai’s elite Poes Garden, according to property registration documents accessed by Zapkey.

The deal, reportedly valued at Rs 31.5 crore, signals the couple’s continued interest in the city’s most prestigious addresses.

The newly acquired apartment spans the fourth and fifth floors of the ‘Legacy’ project, nestled in Chennai’s Teynampet neighbourhood.

Poes Garden has long been synonymous with glamour and power, famously home to superstar Rajinikanth and the late former Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa.

Documents reveal the property has a super built-up area of 14,369 square feet, with an undivided land share of 5,308 square feet, which works out to roughly Rs 21,946 per square foot. The sale deed, registered on 15 December 2025, lists Landmark Metro Projects Private Limited as the seller.

Nayanthara holds a 90% share in the property, while Vigneshwar Sivakolundu owns 10%. Eight reserved covered parking spaces add to the convenience of this luxurious home.

The actress did not comment on the acquisition.

Nayanthara is no stranger to high-end real estate. She reportedly owns several properties across Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kerala.

Her ancestral home in Kerala is said to be one of the state’s most luxurious, while in Hyderabad, she reportedly owns two homes in the upscale Banjara Hills, each valued at around Rs 15 crore, according to GQ.

The acquisition follows a wave of high-profile purchases in Chennai, such as actor Dhanush’s Rs 150 crore bungalow in Poes Garden last year.

According to Knight Frank India, Chennai’s residential market continued its steady rise in 2025, with average property values increasing 7% year-on-year to ₹5,135 per square foot.

The report notes that this growth is anchored in real demand rather than speculation, driven by the city’s IT and GCC employment sectors, strong rental yields, and improved infrastructure.

As the report states, “The price growth remains broad-based yet measured, underscoring Chennai’s position as one of India’s most stable residential markets where capital value appreciation is firmly anchored in end-user demand rather than speculative excess.”
