Home Lands Skyline reaffirmed its status as the undisputed leader in real estate development in Sri Lanka by winning the prestigious “Best Developer – Sri Lanka Award” at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, held recently at the Athenee Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand on 13 December 2024.

The PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards is the region’s biggest and most respected real estate awards program and rewards and celebrates only the biggest and best achievers in the world’s most dynamic markets, here in Asia. To date, the Awards have opened the competition to recognise real estate excellence in Australia, Cambodia, Greater Niseko (Japan), Mainland China/Hong Kong/Macau, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The awards winners are rigorously and fairly judged by an independent panel of industry experts with global repute. 

While this is the second time that Home Lands Skyline has been bestowed this prestigious award, the company also brought home two other prestigious awards. The Waterdale project bordering Colombo 7 won the “Best Luxury Condominium Development in Sri Lanka” and the Oceana Beach Resort Apartments and Villas won the “Best Waterfront Luxury Condominium Development in Sri Lanka”. Additionally, the company was confirmed as one of the “Top eight developers in Asia”, which is a first for any developer from Sri Lanka.

Speaking about the historic win, Home Lands Group Chairman Nalin Herath stated, “This is truly a first for any developer in Sri Lanka to be bestowed consecutively the highly-coveted Best Developer – Sri Lanka Award. This award is a testimony to our commitment to deliver international standard developed projects to the Sri Lankan market. We have been constantly raising the bar ourselves to keep our benchmark to international standards and will continue to push the boundaries in Sri Lanka’s real estate landscape into the future. For instance, earlier this year, we made history by becoming the first Sri Lankan developer to conduct a Property Investment Forum in Australia to create interest in residential investment options in Sri Lanka.”
