The Alandur Station, next to the airport is expected to be a meeting place for executives who travel daily, and will accommodate a small Boutique Hotel inside with a two-level parking below ground. The Ekkattuuthangal and Arumbakkam stations will host primarily office space. Finally the CMBT Station will be destined to integrate the scattered commercial spaces existing in the current station.
