Briefing to the media Rohitha Abeygunaratne, Managing Director of the Odiliya Homes Group of Companies told that Altezza is one of the remarkable milestones of the gradual and steady progress of the group. He further added that apartment business is the fast growing business segment of the country in present context and the government has taken some positive steps to foster this segment, namely complete removal of the restriction imposed earlier on the purchase of apartments to the foreigners from fourth floor onwards, exempting the sale of apartments from VAT, relaxation of resident visa system for foreigners who invest in Sri Lanka, to quote a few.
According to Rohitha Abeygunaratne, with encouragements given by the government to this segment, customers could look at purchasing an apartment in two angles; one is the residential purpose and the other being the investment purpose. Whatever the objective that could be, the customer will be benefitted ultimately in terms of value appreciation and guaranteed actualization of capital gain each year. So this is a golden opportunity for the customers that should not let go out of their investment plans, he said.
Dhammika Dissanayake, Sales Manager of Altezza Residencies told that since the high quality materials would be used for the project there should not be any concern in the minds of the customers as to the strength and durability of the apartments. He also told that the even before the commencement of the constructions, 40 percent of the units was sold and reservations were done by customers, which itself provides good credentials on the customer demand. The fact that the prices of the condominiums in the city of Colombo are very high, this is an ideal investment opportunity for life time for the customers those who do not like to reside in the city and cannot afford a substantial sum of money to acquire apartments in Colombo, he further added.
Rohitha Abeygunaratne informed that the customers who have reserved the apartments by now are of a cross composition. The current customer base includes businessmen, Sri Lankans working in overseas, top executives in the private sector and professionals. The company has been advertising on the websites and social media and the details of the project could be ascertained therefrom. He further told that the company would carry out some activities under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) drive in the near future to help those are underprivileged and need assistance for their ways of life.
