Colombo City Centre Residences: Testimony of the ultimate in luxury urban living

Sri Lanka’s premier mixed development project, Colombo City Centre, commenced handing over of their residences in August 2020 – the first to do so from the high end development projects in the heart of Colombo. 

The mixed development comprises of a total of 192 luxury apartments of 2 BR, 3 BR and Penthouses, an international standard shopping mall and an upcoming international hotel. The assistance of the corporate powerhouse Abans PLC, who is the main partner in developing this project, saw the project through to completion, amidst turbulent market conditions. The home owners can look forward to a sky rocketing value addition to the residences, with a collaboration set to take place in the near future with one of the top international hotel brands in the world. 

With the excellent reviews from the customers about the structures and the details of the finishing, lifestyle and conveniences at Colombo City Centre Residences, a substantial number of apartments have been sold during the past few months and less than 25% of the total apartments are now available for sale.      

Many customers shared their opinions with regards to the various aspects of their purchased residences. As emphasised by Sampath Abeyrathna, the proximity to entire amenities at one’s fingertips, was an extremely valuable decision especially during the time of the pandemic. He was able to directly access the Cargills supermarket inside the mall, without the need to use the main mall entrance. 

He greatly recommended the great restaurants in the food court area, as well as the lounge plus common areas which are well-maintained in terms of cleanliness. He enjoyed visiting the gym, and taking an evening swim in the infinity pool, with the beautiful view of the sunset. 

Home owners such as Jayantha Wijesinghe and Dr. Naomali Amarasena commented on the professionalism and efficient service and conduct of the teams involved right from the point of first contact; especially the staff of Colombo City Centre, Abans Homes In Style as well as Facilities Management Integrated (FMI). 

They agreed upon the fact that the Residences were value for money and an invaluable investment, due to the excellent infrastructure, size of the apartments, adherence to international standards and convenient location. 

Noel Hsu and Janice Hsu also shared their positive experience with their apartment, highlighting their reasons for selecting Colombo City Centre Residences – which were, close proximity to the city, easy access to all major places and all amenities under one roof. Kithsiri Senaratne also expressed similar views as a Residence home owner. 

Providing an in-depth appreciation of his apartment, Dr. Pallawela stated that the location being opposite Beira Lake with no other buildings to obstruct the wonderful view, was one significant reason behind his choice. He praised the idea of having direct access to the mall, and the ample storage space and high quality fittings that added to the finishing of the entire apartment. 

He also commended the proficient manner that the entire team adapted to the demands of dealing with the pandemic, and completing the Residences ahead of other similar development projects that are still pending handover of their properties. Dulsini de Zoysa shared similar opinions on her Residence, appreciating the building staff who offered personalised and quick service at all times, especially during the lockdown. 

She also added that she really enjoyed the spectacular views from her terrace every night, as well as the city lights and beautiful Beira Lake. In terms of service, she found the building staff very eager to help with all that she required – whether it was to bring in packages, minor fixing inside the apartment or fitness instructions at the gym, which she pointed out was the benefit of living in a more personal building. 

In conclusion, she recommended Colombo City Centre Residences as a Peid-à-terre in Colombo for anyone whose primary residence is overseas; as well as it being an excellent choice for a young couple who wants to enjoy evenings in Colombo without the hassle of commuting, or for a couple downsizing from a home in Colombo.             

Another pleased home owner, Nagaratnam, shared his views that the ideal location of the Residence, along with the luxurious design, high quality construction and the conveniently placed shopping mall containing the Cargills Food Hall and mall food court with restaurants serving global cuisines, were prominent reasons for his choice. He was also very happy with the cooperative and professional management staff, plus the team coordinating the purchasing and handing over process from Colombo City Centre.
