De Monte, a Portuguese businessman, owned and built the stretch of buildings here in Alwarpet. The story goes that his wife was mentally ill while his son died under mysterious circumstances. At night, you will mostly never see anyone around in the area as there have been instances of reported disappearances of security guards in the past. There were some talks of development at this place, but nothing has happened since! This place in Chennai has become so popular that it has inspired a Tamil film called Demonte Colony, following the same storyline.
