Bricks Developers Ltd. ventures into the rapidly growing apartment construction industry in the island with an overseas partner Zhongtian Dinghui Investment Company Ltd., which has extensive experience in its homeland.
‘Thurstan 42’ is the brainchild of Shanker Somasunderam, the Managing Director and Chairman of Bricks Developers Ltd., which is a property development company engaged in the business of developing apartments and commercial buildings. His reputation as an astute investor and as a competent corporate player is pervasive in Sri Lanka.
Zhongtian Dinghui Investment Company Ltd., the overseas investment partner of Thurstan 42, is a company that has immense experience in the field of real estate development and construction. The company had great confidence of the potential opportunity in the Sri Lankan apartment market, and that optimistic perspective towards the potential in Sri Lanka is what prompted the formation of Zhong Tian Ding Hui Ltd. for its local operations.
The chosen architect for Thurstan 42 is none other than the renowned Design Group Five International Ltd., one of the most respected architectural and engineering consultancies in Sri Lanka. Their commendable portfolio includes some key mega buildings of Sri Lanka, including the expansion of the Bandaranaike International Airport, the state-of-the-art Kotelawela Defence University Teaching Hospital, Empire and Iceland Luxury high-rise apartment towers and the Havelock City Mega-project (as local architects) amongst many others.
Civil and Structural Engineering Consultants Ltd., a state-of-the-art consultancy firm comprising some of the prominent structural engineers in the industry and academia, is chaired by Prof. Priyan Mendis, a world renowned structural engineer who has been a consultant for many prestigious and landmark projects across the globe including Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.
Through careful scrutiny, the construction of Thurstan 42 was awarded to N&A Engineering Services Ltd. They are leading the construction industry as one of the foremost construction companies in the island whilst holding Grade C1 certification for over 20 years.
With this hand-picked team of top performers in the construction industry, Thurstan 42 is a dream home only a few families get to proudly call their own.
