“As one of the pioneering shopping malls in the city, Crescat Boulevard holds fond memories for its loyal customers over the past 24 years. With its refurbishment, Crescat returns to offer a revitalised, upmarket shopping and dining experience for Colombo’s shoppers whilst still maintaining nostalgic familiarities. The refurbishment was completed despite challenging conditions within the pandemic, and we are now ready to take on the season. We are grateful for the trust our tenants have placed in us – some have been a part of Crescat Boulevard for the past 20 years and are a part of this new journey. Crescat Boulevard has been a familiar fixture among Colombo’s shopping destinations and we are excited to embark on this new chapter amidst a changing city,” commented John Keells Properties Sector Head and JKH Executive Vice President Nayana Mawilmada.
