One of the Pattabiram's major industries is, now defunct, Southern Structural Limited, a factory which produced pressure vessels, steel fabrication, and container-handling cranes.

Owned by the state government, the 45 acres of land is on the Chennai-Tiruvallur road and within easy access of suburban railway line and arterial roads, said government officials.[1] With the state allotting 10 acres for the Tidel Park, the 21-storied building will be 60 meters tall and will have hanging gardens between the 15th and 19th floors. Large murals are planned in the main lobby and a gym and indoor games will come up on the 12th floor. The complex will also have a huge food court in a separate block. The building will have office spaces measuring 495,000 square feet, with about 50 companies in the IT/ITES sector. Office spaces will range from 300 square feet to 25,000 square feet. Work is expected to begin by January 2020 and will be completed in two years.[2]
