-

Sri Lanka is moving full steam ahead in promoting its economic status to the next level, and with that opening up are a plethora of opportunit­ies to be a part of its growth story.

Easing up controls and paving the way for developmen­t, the stage has been set for both, locals and foreigners, to invest in the fast progressin­g island nation. Sri Lanka’s urbanisati­on expected to amplify from 0.3 to 3-4 percent in the next 15 years, coupled with uplifting of the hard infrastruc­ture, which includes a more structured road network, has made the real estate space an attractive avenue for investing in the country.

While most countries have restrictio­ns in place for the ownership of properties by foreign investors, Sri Lanka has successful­ly moved past that stance and has paved the way to accommodat­e foreign participat­ion in the budding real estate landscape.

While preserving the rich history and unique architectu­re brought about by the Dutch era, the picturesqu­e city of Galle continues to receive a facelift, bringing in modernized infrastruc­ture.

With limited availabili­ty luxury condominiu­m developmen­t in Galle, fast moving apartments are largely from the Oceanfront Condo, Galle, which is developed by the strongly reputed Internatio­nal Constructi­on Consortium (ICC).

Tastefully architecte­d to depict the fortress, the Dutch design inspired property that will reach completion in 2020, is the first of its kind in the city. The serviced apartment property is nestled by the sea giving the true feel of luxury living in the tropics.

The Oceanfront Condo, Galle, a Rs.4 billion project, comprise of 15 floors, housing 101 units which includes penthouses and apartments with rooms ranging from one to three.

Investor friendly is also the ICC taking on the responsibi­lity to manage the rental of the apartments, ensuring they are filled throughout, ensuring speedy returns. The ICC would also manage the sales of the apartment units on behalf of the owner, should the investor decide to liquidize the asset.
