Blue Ocean Group ventures into facility management services for its luxury condominiums

The Blue Ocean Group of Companies has today grown into a formidable leader and trendsetter in over six industries including real estate, construction, engineering, trading, education and corporate consultancy. 

For a country with a relatively small land mass as Sri Lanka, there is a constant need for housing. In order to ensure there is enough housing provided, the challenge is to attain this goal without doing any damage to Sri Lanka’s pristine environment. Blue Ocean Group has understood this important aspect and are striving to deliver luxurious condominiums to discerning buyers.

Not only has Blue Ocean Group developed innovative building methods to deliver construction projects on time and on budget but have also understood that in most cases condominium buyers choose that lifestyle or investment for ease of maintenance. As a result, Blue Ocean Group formed its own Facility Management company under their umbrella by serving, all facilities such as building maintenance service and wealth management. Hence one could say that Blue Ocean is a total package that provides all real estate services from condominium development to maintenance thereby obtaining worldwide recognition as Sri Lanka’s largest and the most convenient condo developer. 

The key factor that helps Blue Ocean rise majestically from its industry competitors is fulfilling a property seeker’s requirements by providing them with a dream home. This is why Blue Ocean Group choose to provide the expertise of Blue Ocean Facility Management to enable the buyers to have reliable property maintenance.

This connection between the different arms of the Blue Ocean Group also help in the construction phase of the properties. As the group also engage in manufacturing ready mix concrete, importing building materials, heavy machinery and providing engineering and architectural consultation, when you engage with the Group’s building arm, one has access to all the capabilities that Blue Ocean has to offer. It also means there is less likelihood of barriers in coordination that can occur when a builder has to work with different organisations in order to obtain materials and expertise to complete a project.

The results speak for themselves. The apartments have appreciated in value by 50 to 70%. All Blue Ocean projects have been proudly governed by ISO 9001:2008, 14001:2015 and OSHAS 18001:2007, in addition to meeting other international standards. Consisting of over 30 condominium projects and developing over 1,100 units, they are situated in the island’s most prestigious locations. 

The engineering arm has been one of the very few companies which have won accolades from the Major Contractors Association of Sri Lanka, the Green Building Council, the Construction and Industrial Development Authority and the Chamber of Construction Industries.

For all these reasons, homebuyers and astute investors have decided to choose from the Blue Ocean Group’s wide selection of apartments. There is the security and the safety of knowing that there are competent maintenance personnel to attend to any issues of servicing and the reassurance of an investment that will continue to grow in value as apartment living becomes viable and fashionable in Sri Lanka. 

The Group’s consistent year on year improvement in financial results is a signal of the financial sustainability of its business model. To ensure the sustainability of the social and environmental aspects associated with its business, Blue Ocean Group continues to embrace best practices for social and environmental management. 

From a social perspective, Blue Ocean Group infrastructure projects across the country have a significant bearing on the communities in the area and improved the standard of living of its stakeholders. Blue Ocean Group’s work to empower these communities has no doubt in Blue Ocean Group being an exemplary corporate citizen in Sri Lanka.
