Prime Group wins two prestigious Asia awards

Prime Group, Sri Lanka’s real estate giant, started its humble journey in 1995 as a small land sale company in Colombo with three employees and two energetically talented dynamic personalities, Premalal Brahmanage, the Group Chairman and Founder, who joined hands with Co-Founder and Deputy Chairperson Sandamini Perera with a vision to create a better place on earth for everyone. 

With dynamic leadership coupled with entrepreneurship and degrees of excellence they created this proud empire from scratch by building trust among people’s hearts and achieved the near impossible dream of becoming the largest real estate company in Sri Lanka within a span of two decades.

Purely pioneered on lands as the primary business till about 10 years ago after which they introduced a novel concept that redefined the local real estate industry, Prime is the first developer to step into the suburban market outside Colombo under the theme ‘Prime Group Always Selects Prime Locations’. 

This allowed the development of apartments and housing projects that were affordable to the majority of Sri Lankans. Given its reliability, along with a good name, Prime Group was quickly recognised in the local real estate industry as a brand that consistently delivered on its promises. 

In 2016 Prime Group embarked on an exciting chapter, demonstrating solid financial results and effective execution of both land and residential projects to position Prime Group for the future. Customers, both nationally and internationally, are looking to embrace its projects to drive valuable home investments, transform the home buying experience, improved living standards, and so much more.

Prime Grand heralds the arrival of a revolutionary new residential landmark in Ward Place – a visionary union of 36 floors of modern design, ideal location and carefully selected European finishes. Built on over one acre of land, Prime Grand features stunning panoramic vistas of the ever-evolving Colombo skyline with Sri Lanka’s largest infinity pool.

After outstanding successes in Colombo and suburbs, Prime expanded its wings towards the hill capital of Kandy with yet another development in Pallekelle in 2014, comprising 40 residential apartment units which sold out within a short period of time. In 2017 Prime Group launched its first residential development in Southern Sri Lanka, Galle by adding the remarkable tally of residential projects to 40, after handing over 15 projects to its proud customers around the island. 

This 12-storey high-rise is designed to match the pure Sri Lankan taste of vertical living, located in Lower Dickson Road, with ground and first floor to be car parks and the residencies starting from second floor upwards to afford the benefit to the owners of the apartments of a breathtaking view of the Indian ocean, green Rumassalahills, its very own cricket stadium and the bastioned walls of the historical Dutch fort and Galle city.
