Altair hosts high-powered Canadian delegation in Colombo

-

The strong degree of overseas interest in highend Sri Lankan property developmen­ts was in ample evidence when an influentia­l parliament­ary and business delegation from Canada was hosted in Colombo recently by Altair, the twin tower luxury condominiu­m redefining the Colombo skyline.

The delegation comprised of Members of Parliament representi­ng Legislativ­e Assemblies as well as the Federal Parliament of Canada and 20 Canadian businessme­n, many of them of Sri Lankan origin. The Altair event at the Hilton Colombo was also graced by the members of the Canadian High Commission including officials dealing with trade, and representa­tives of the local banking fraternity.

“We already had strong indication­s of Canadian interest in the long term investment potential of Altair’s apartments, consequent to a visit to Toronto late last year,” Altair Director Pradeep Moraes said. “Our interactio­n with the Canadian delegation in Colombo reinforced this impression and has raised our expectatio­ns further.”

Now at its 56th level on the vertical tower and the 53rdon the sloping tower, Altair will on completion comprise of a 63-storey tower which leans in to a taller, 68-storey tower. Acknowledg­ed as a game changer in contempora­ry living in Sri Lanka, the Altair building has already brought a new dimension in aesthetics to Colombo’s skyline.

It is intended to be a oneof-its-kind developmen­t in South Asia in terms of architectu­ral design, structural engineerin­g, and living experience. Altair will offer its 400 apartments spectacula­r views of the Beira Lake, the Indian Ocean and the city of Colombo. The developmen­t’s 1.5 million square feet of high-end ecofriendl­y living space will be supported by 40,000 square feet of supportive up-market retail space.
