Ekroma’s ‘Elegant 16’ luxury apartment is attracting farsighted couples astute enough to perceive the opportunity for admitting their child to leading local and international schools that abound in close proximity to the apartment. Coupled with a safe and secure investment in a unique boutique housing project and given the Ministry of Education’s guidelines to local schools for granting admission to Grade One – Elegant 16 is a godsend and the answer to anxious parents.
While DS Senanayake is situation within 650 metres of Elegant 16, Devi Balika Vidyalaya, Carey College, Wesley College, Royal College and Ladies College fall within a short 2.8 km radius, thereby improving the chances of admission into any of these choice schools. Maximum marks have been announced if students’ address is proved to be closest to school without other government schools within a shorter radius. In fact, 5 marks will be deducted from applications of students applying from further away. The Ministry of Education has decreed that of the vacancies existing in Grade one, admission will be determined by children of residents within close proximity to the school whose chances will be boosted by as much as 50%! The address proof will be parents’ registration in the local electoral register. Among the applicants, the ones in the closest proximity would get full marks whereas it will gradually reduce according to the distance.
Considering the plethora of leading schools and embassies in the area, Elegant 16 is an attractive option for teachers and embassy officials. Elegant 16 is very close to leading international schools as well, such as The British School in Colombo (300m), Leighton Park International School (600m), Colombo International School (CIS) (1.1km), Wycherly International School (Junior) (1.6km), Elizabeth Moir Junior School (3.6km) and Asian International School (3.9km). The apartment offers instant access to Baseline Road, an arterial road in the city of Colombo.
By living in close proximity to top schools, parents not only successfully secure a seat for their child in the top school of choice but they also reduce time and energy spent on commuting to and fro from school, leaving the children fresh and energetic to pursue academics and other extra-curricular activities.
Elegant 16 is also an ideal choice for individuals who wish to buy and lease their dream apartment, as there is a lack of quality apartments available for lease in the area. Buyers can purchase Elegant 16 units outright or even lease them, as a limited number of brand new apartments are now available for lease. Elegant 16 is truly a fitting choice for savvy investors who can expect instant high rentals since they will be ready for occupancy by 1 August. Fully furnished apartments are also available!

The apartments boast high ceilings, with floor-to-floor height being 11 ft and ample cross ventilation and natural light. Keeping residents’ convenience in mind, two lifts have been provided.
