Home Lands Skyline’s remarkable journey has many milestones along the way, and it is noteworthy
that the property value of each luxury residential apartment and housing project continues to
appreciate by over 25% over the years. With a rapid increase in urbanization, Sri Lanka is witnessing
a continuous demand growth of over 10% per year for residential apartments. This fuels the growth
of residential condominiums with vertical living undoubtedly being the future of urban living - given
space constraints and high land prices.
In recognition of its world-class standards and superior facilities offered in all construction projects,
Home Lands Skyline was awarded as the “Best Developer in Sri Lanka” at the Asia Property awards
2021 and received the prestigious status of “A (lka) Stable” by FITCH ratings for its solid financial

RIU's market research, Homelands Skyline was also identified as the “Most preferred real estate
brand in Sri Lanka”, which further highlights the customer goodwill and trust held upon the brand

In the last decade, residential property development and construction projects in the form of luxury
apartments are booming in Sri Lanka - at a more rapid pace than ever before. From progressive
urbanization initiatives, futuristic landscaping, to liberal real-estate policies, local and global
investors are encouraged to invest in the Sri Lankan residential real estate market as the best
decision with the short-term and long-term in mind. Sri Lanka’s strategic geographical position on
the world map and its international trade relations has dramatically shifted in recent times only to
become an attractive hub for property investors from all corners of the world. Another key reason
is the shift of Sri Lankan real estate policies to becoming more transparent and investor-friendly
offering many benefits. By investing more than $75,000 a foreign investor will receive a 10-year
resident visa whilst enjoying a great tropical life.
The demand for high-end condominiums and luxury residential apartments in Sri Lanka’s major
cities and suburbs is continuing to soar with each passing day. High-net-worth local individuals,
aspiring professionals to foreign ex-pats have shown keen interest in purchasing pre-constructed
luxury apartments at prime locations. Home Lands Skyline’s new high-value residential apartments
added to the local market are expected to skyrocket further and all our valued investors will enjoy a
high ROI in the near future.
Sri Lanka’s overall real estate market is resilient and has bounced back from many downturns. The
Land Value Indicator (LVI) for the Colombo District as measured by the Central Bank appreciated by
9.5% in the first half of 2021, compared to 2020. This shows the promise and resilience of the local
real estate market and solid growth prospects. The appreciation of land prices as per the LVI and
the convenience offered by apartments makes residential real estate even more attractive than
ever before.
Despite the current inflation and economic meltdown, it will not affect Sri Lanka’s unstoppable real-
estate industry - especially the residential sector. However, investors are advised to choose the
right real estate partner who is trustworthy and credible when making the investment decision.
