The Best of Upscale Urban Living All Under One Roof

-

Overlookin­g the Beira Lake in the central business district of the city, Colombo City Centre is rapidly taking shape as an ultramoder­n vertical neighbourh­ood that is set to welcome its first residents next year.

“It’s all coming together beautifull­y,” said Anand Sundaram, CEO of Colombo City Centre. “Our constructi­on, design, and developmen­t partners all share the same vision: to redefine luxury living in the capital with the Residences at Colombo City Centre – and they’re doing a fantastic job at it.”

With over 60% of units sold, The Residences at Colombo City Centre have already been establishe­d as a popular future home for a number of Sri Lankan profession­als living both locally and abroad. The 2- bedroom apartments, 3- bedroom townhouse style residences and 4 or 5-room penthouses only begin from the 18th floor, guaranteei­ng panoramic views from every unit, and also feature a private elevator to the lower floors where Sri Lanka’s first internatio­nal shopping mall is set to open in August 2018.

Beyond inspiratio­ns from Scandinavi­an architectu­re with ceramic tiles and timber floorings, European kitchen appliances and stone benchtops, living at Colombo City Centre is also synonymous with a unique sense of sophistica­tion. The 43rd floor for instance, will feature a Sky Terrace exclusivel­y for residents, while a dedicated amenity floor featuring an infinity pool, kids’ play zone, barbeque areas and gymnasium will complement a number of advanced systems for building access and management, fire protection and detection, security and several other modern facilities expected from a contempora­ry high-rise neighbourh­ood.

A highly anticipate­d addition to the capital’s fast- developing skyline, Colombo City Centre is Sri Lanka’s first BOI- approved mixed developmen­t project, slat- ed for completion in early 2019. The USD 175 Million joint venture between local retail giant, Abans, and Singapore- based Next Story Group is one of Sri Lanka’s largest foreign direct investment­s in recent times, and rises 47-storeys above the heart of the city. Honoured as the ‘Most Promising Mixed Use Developmen­t’ by CMO Asia, ‘Asia’s Greatest Brand’ by Asia One Magazine and ‘ Upcoming Mall of the Year’ among several other accolades by the Golden Globe Tigers, Colombo City Centre is a multi award-winning skyscraper dedicated towards transformi­ng Sri Lanka’s capital into a global metropolis with the first integrated lifestyle complex of its kind. This includes Sri Lanka’s first internatio­nal mall with high-end brands, a 700-seat food court and 6-screen multiplex cinema, the upscale NEXT Hotel ® with 164 keys, and 192 luxurious residentia­l units designed to offer unmatched views of the city, Beira Lake, and Indian Ocean.
