Overlooking the Beira Lake in the central business district of the city, Colombo City Centre is rapidly taking shape as an ultramodern vertical neighbourhood that is set to welcome its first residents next year.

“It’s all coming together beautifully,” said Anand Sundaram, CEO of Colombo City Centre. “Our construction, design, and development partners all share the same vision: to redefine luxury living in the capital with the Residences at Colombo City Centre – and they’re doing a fantastic job at it.”

With over 60% of units sold, The Residences at Colombo City Centre have already been established as a popular future home for a number of Sri Lankan professionals living both locally and abroad.

The two-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom townhouse style residences and four- or five-room penthouses only begin from the 18th floor, guaranteeing panoramic views from every unit, and also feature a private elevator to the lower floors where Sri Lanka’s first international shopping mall is set to open in August 2018.

Beyond inspirations from Scandinavian architecture with ceramic tiles and timber floorings, European kitchen appliances and stone benchtops, living at Colombo City Centre is also synonymous with a unique sense of sophistication. The 43rd floor for instance, will feature a Sky Terrace exclusively for residents, while a dedicated amenity floor featuring an infinity pool, kids’ play zone, barbeque areas and gymnasium will complement a number of advanced systems for building access and management, fire protection and detection, security and several other modern facilities expected from a contemporary high-rise neighbourhood.

A highly-anticipated addition to the capital’s fast-developing skyline, Colombo City Centre is Sri Lanka’s first BOI-approved mixed development project, slated for completion in early 2019. The USD 175 Million joint venture between local retail giant, Abans, and Singapore-based Next Story Group is one of Sri Lanka’s largest foreign direct investments in recent times, and rises 47-storeys above the heart of the city. Honoured as the ‘Most Promising Mixed Use Development’ by CMO Asia, ‘Asia’s Greatest Brand’ by AsiaOne Magazine and ‘Upcoming Mall of the Year’ among several other accolades by the Golden Globe Tigers, Colombo City Centre is a multi-award-winning skyscraper dedicated towards transforming Sri Lanka’s capital into a global metropolis with the first integrated lifestyle complex of its kind. This includes Sri Lanka’s first international mall with high-end brands, a 700-seat food court and six-screen multiplex cinema, the upscale NEXT Hotel with 164 keys, and 192 luxurious residential units designed to offer unmatched views of the city, Beira Lake, and Indian Ocean.
