High-end retail outlets and brands both local and international will be made available to you ranging from designer boutiques to department stores. Fashion, perfumeries, toys, household goods, supermarkets, electronics and appliances are just a few of what will be spread over the 6 retail floors. Be in the mood for fine or casual dining – it will only be a matter of making your pick from a number of restaurants and food courts. A plush multiplex cinema will provide you and your family a host of different movies to choose from.  Teeming with a plethora of other distinct entertainment features offered for the very first time at a mall in Sri Lanka, it would no doubt be a wonderland for shopping and entertainment for people of all ages.  

In creating a ‘city within a city’ spanning on 17 acres of prime land in the heart of Colombo, the mall is developed under the commercial wing of Havelock City. Apart from the shopping mall the commercial complex would also consist of 2 towers of office space on 20 levels each. As the largest mixed development in Sri Lanka, Havelock City entails 1080 luxury condominiums across 8 residential towers. With the finalizing of the schematic designs, the shopping complex that is non-secondary to any other upscale international mall will see its construction in early 2012.

The Havelock City  commercial development which involves an investment of USD 150 million, is spearheaded by the experts in real estate –Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC: owners, managers and developers of the iconic World Trade Center, Colombo. Group CEO, Mr. Pravir Samarasinghe affirms that similar to WTC, still a decade ahead of its time and offerings and the only ‘intelligent’ building in the country, the Shopping Mall too is designed to be ultramodern and a forerunner amidst Sri Lanka’s envisaged malls in the foreseeable future.

Once complete, the mall which is now in the stage of detailed design would undeniably be a major tourist and commercial hub, contributing to the overall development of urban Colombo. The twin office towers also under the commercial component of Havelock City would provide the much needed office space to be on par with Colombo’s fast paced commercial expansion.

Similar to the WTC, the towers would offer world class office space, thus consolidating Overseas Realty as Sri Lanka’s largest office space provider.  Three separate floors on the low block would be specifically designed to support BPO and IT enabled services; a fast developing sector in Sri Lanka. Hence the world class mall and the towers of office space have been designed taking into consideration the rapid economic expansion and the steadily increasing influx of tourists and investment in the country. Havelock City will directly help the government’s vision of making Colombo a renowned commercial and tourist city.

This colossal shopping mall with all its features and offerings complements the lifestyle promoted for the Havelock City resident.  Havelock City – a landmark development, is unquestionably upgrading the standards of living in Sri Lanka and it is the first of its kind in the South Asian region.  

A holistic living experience awaits you at this luxury condominium development as it is also complete with Sri Lanka’s largest roof garden: 6 acres of lush greenery, and a large clubhouse providing every conceivable amenity. Staying entertained, finding respite, and being active has never been this easy. It would truly be exciting to come home to the City.
