Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC said it has launched the development of Havelock City Residences, the fifth and final phase of Havelock City, bringing the vision of one of Colombo’s iconic integrated mixed-use projects closer to completion.
The official launch of Havelock City Residences was celebrated at a glamorous launch event held on 29 October 2026 at Hilton Colombo, attended by an exclusive gathering of invited guests.
Demonstrating strong market confidence even before its official launch, 50 % of the apartments had already been pre-sold, reflecting the continued appeal of Havelock City’s distinctive proposition- a premium residential environment combining space, greenery, connectivity, and an integrated urban lifestyle.
Set across 18 acres, Havelock City is distinguished by seven acres of beautifully landscaped gardens—the largest single enclosed green space in Sri Lanka. Designed by award winning global design firm P&T Group, Singapore, Havelock City Residences offers spacious two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, alongside expansive penthouses, thoughtfully planned to maximize natural light, ventilation, privacy, and views.
Residents benefit from an extensive range of recreation facilities and lifestyle amenities including landscaped walking and jogging paths, gymnasiums, squash courts, banquet halls and dedicated spaces for socializing and relaxation. The curated assisted living concept further enhances the development, promoting accessibility, independence, safety, security and peace of mind through every stage of life.
With Havelock City Mall and Mireka Office Tower integrated within the development, residents enjoy convenient access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and everyday essentials. This seamless integration of residential, commercial, and lifestyle experiences makes Havelock City a distinctive address for those seeking the convenience of city living without compromising on space and tranquility.
, Director and Group Chief Executive Officer Pravir Samarasinghe said: “The launch of Havelock City Residences marks a defining milestone in our journey to realize the vision of Havelock City as Colombo’s most sought-after integrated living destinations.
As the fifth and final phase, Havelock City Residences brings this vision to its culmination, offering homeowners a rare combination of space, greenery, connectivity, and contemporary luxury within an established community. We are proud to bring this final chapter to market and look forward to welcoming more elite residents to the Havelock City community.”
Developed by Overseas Realty Ceylon PLC, the company behind Havelock City and the iconic World Trade Center Colombo, Havelock City Residences builds on a legacy of creating landmark real estate developments in Sri Lanka. The project is professionally managed by Realty Management Services, a wholly owned subsidiary, providing ongoing property management and hassle-free rental and resale support services.
As the final phase of Havelock City, the development presents a golden opportunity and a last chance for homeowners and investors to become part of an exclusive residential community, with the benefits of an integrated lifestyle. The project is expected to be completed in November 2030.
