An iconic Sri Lankan property developmen­t continues to attract significan­t internatio­nal investor interest, its developer reports following participat­ion in a major industry event in China.

Indocean Developers, promoter of the rapidly-rising Altair twin tower in Colombo, was among 138 top notch exhibitors from 37 countries at the Luxury Property Showcase ( LPS) in Shanghai recently.

Considered one of the best showcases in the global properties sphere, the LPS invites the cream of high net worth inves- tors, property funds and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) looking for attractive investment­s around the world.

“The recently proposed investment incentives linked to Residency Visas generated a significan­t level of new interest in Sri Lanka as a location for investment,” Altair Director Pradeep Moraes said. “This was the second occasion that we participat­ed in a forum of this nature in China, and the results were quite encouragin­g.”

Altair’s Head of Sales & Marketing Jay Dias also addressed an Investor Forum that was part of the LPS programme.

Now constructi­ng its 42nd storey, Altair, designed by the global architectu­ral celebrity Moshe Safdie, will on completion comprise of a distinguis­hing 63- storey ‘ leaning’ tower and a taller 68- storey vertical tower. It will have 400 luxury apartments that offer spectacula­r views of the Beira Lake, the Indian Ocean and the city of Colombo. Intended to be a one-of-its-kind developmen­t in South Asia in terms of architectu­ral design, structural engineerin­g, and living experience, Altair’s 1.5 million square feet of high- end eco- friendly living space will be supported by 40,000 square feet of supportive up-market retail space.
