Home Lands Group yesterday announced that it has selected China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) for the construction of its flagship development in Colombo, Pentara Residencies, Thummulla Handiya.
The agreement was signed by Home Lands Group Chairman Nalin Herath and CHEC South Asia and South East Asia Managing Director Wang Gang, in the presence of CHEC Chairman Bai Yinzhan.
CHEC is a major international contractor and developer distinguished for delivering large-scale infrastructure and real estate projects around the world.
The partnership reaffirms Home Lands’ commitment to ensuring its projects are built to the highest international standards through strategic collaborations with globally respected industry leaders. As one of the world’s leading engineering and construction companies, CHEC brings decades of international expertise, advanced construction capabilities, and an impressive portfolio of landmark projects spanning Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Its involvement in transformational developments such as ports, highways, bridges, commercial districts, integrated urban developments, and large-scale reclamation projects, has earned the company a reputation for quality, scale, engineering excellence, and timely project delivery. Most notably in Sri Lanka, CHEC has played a pivotal role in the development of Port City Colombo, one of the most ambitious urban development projects in South Asia.
For Home Lands, the decision to partner with CHEC reflects a shared commitment to delivering projects that meet the highest international standards. Pentara Residencies has been envisioned as a landmark development that combines contemporary architecture, exceptional quality, and a highly sought-after location at Thummulla Handiya. To bring this vision to life, Home Lands sought a construction partner capable of executing a project of this scale and significance with precision, efficiency, and uncompromising attention to quality.
The partnership is further strengthened by the natural alignment between the two organisations. Both Home Lands and CHEC have played influential roles in shaping Sri Lanka’s evolving urban landscape through transformative developments that contribute to the country’s growth and modernisation. While Home Lands has built its reputation through the successful delivery of thousands of residential units and innovative real estate projects across the island, CHEC has become synonymous with some of Sri Lanka’s most ambitious infrastructure and development initiatives.
CHEC’s appointment as the main contractor for Pentara Residencies provides investors and future homeowners with added confidence in the project’s delivery and construction quality. Renowned for its international expertise, advanced engineering capabilities, and adoption of the latest construction technologies and methodologies, CHEC brings a level of technical excellence that aligns perfectly with Home Lands’ vision for the project. The company’s proven track record in managing large-scale developments, coupled with its commitment to quality and efficiency, will help ensure that Pentara Residencies is delivered to the highest standards of construction and craftsmanship.
Beyond construction excellence, the collaboration reflects Home Lands’ broader vision of continuously raising the bar for the real estate industry. By partnering with internationally recognised organisations that possess world-class expertise, cutting-edge technology, and extensive global experience, Home Lands continues to reinforce its commitment to delivering projects built to international standards.
As Pentara Residencies moves into its next phase of development, the partnership between Home Lands and CHEC represents more than a construction agreement; it is a strategic alliance built on shared values of quality, innovation, and excellence. Together, the two organisations are poised to deliver a landmark development built to world-class standards, further strengthening Home Lands’ reputation for creating exceptional living spaces while contributing to the ongoing transformation of Sri Lanka’s urban landscape.
