Marina Square – Uptown Colombo, Sri Lanka’s premier harbour-front luxury mixed development project, has announced the structural completion of all five towers at a ceremony titled ‘A Sky-High Toast to Commitment’.

Backed by industry giants Access Engineering PLC and China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), the achievement of this significant milestone off the heels of a challenging two years, underscores the joint shareholders’ steadfast commitment to the project and all stakeholders involved.

Access Engineering PLC Executive Vice Chairman Christopher Joshua speaking at the event reiterated the importance of the milestone and potential that Marina Square holds for discerning homeowners. “The structural completion of all five towers in the aftermath of a crisis that almost crippled the industry is a remarkable achievement and is only testament to our resolute commitment to the successful completion of this project, which we believe will be one of the best our country has to offer on completion. The accomplishment of this milestone, along with other ongoing work in MEP and finishing, now positions the project well on track for overall completion by the end of 2025,” Joshua added.

Attended by representatives of both shareholders, project consultants, regulatory authorities and other dignitaries, and hosted on the rooftop of the rear towers, the occasion afforded invitees a taste of the panoramic views of the Colombo Harbour, Colombo City, Port City and Indian Ocean, that discerning homeowners will get to call their own.

The Project Director and Marina Square Board Member Kosala Wickramasinghe attributed the vast resources, strength and experience of Access Engineering and CHEC for sustained construction activities through challenging periods and noted.

“The development will surely revolutionise the urban luxury living experience in the country, with our curated spaces and range of amenities that have been thoughtfully designed to suit the requirements of every modern homeowner. It is the perfect place in Colombo to witness the city’s transformation while experiencing the comfort of convenience in every aspect,” said Wickramasinghe. China Harbour Engineering Company Joint Managing Director Wang Gang said: “This structural completion is not just a milestone for Marina Square, but also for the entire construction industry in our country. It sends a strong message that even in difficult times, we can persevere and emerge stronger.”

Marina Square is located on a five-acre expanse and boasts 1,088 condominiums across five towers of 36 floors, as well as two acres of open to sky gardens and recreational areas. Its prime location, just 2 km from the highly anticipated Colombo International Financial City (Port City) and 400 m from the Port Access Elevated Highway, along with an extensive array of common amenities ranging from an infinity pool to barbecue covers, camping areas, walking and jogging tracks to a multipurpose court, squash courts, and rooftop skydecks, succeed in positioning Marina Square as a landmark development in the heart of Tomorrow’s Colombo.
