Leading Indian infrastructure developer Iconic Developments is making headway towards timely completion of the construction of its luxury apartment complex ‘Iconic Galaxy’, located in Rajagiriya, and aims to hand over the apartment keys to the first customer by November this year.

“The progress we’ve made is tremendous, and the pace we maintained throughout all the obstacles of the last year is monumental. Our luxury apartment complex Iconic Galaxy will truly redefine the meaning of luxury living, and undoubtedly raise the benchmark in Rajagiriya and the surrounding vicinity. Through such great efforts and support, we are proud to announce that we are aiming to hand over the apartment keys to our first customer by the end of this year,” Iconic Developments Managing Director Rohan Parikh said.

With the difficulties that were faced over the past year, mainly due to the unforeseen global pandemic that brought most economies to a complete halt, Iconic Developments alongside construction partner MAGA Engineering, was quick to re-strategize and ensure that the development of Iconic Galaxy continued seamlessly.

The 350-strong workforce is closely monitored and restricted to stringent protocols and precautions by supervisors, reassuring that nobody would be at risk of contracting the virus. Facilities are also in place to safely and swiftly deal with a situation if an employee within the construction zone was to test positive.

All onsite construction employees are subjected to temperature checks and periodical hygiene checks and must maintain strict sanitary measures. High use areas such as restrooms and eating areas are frequently sterilised as well. Any vehicle that enters the premises is also disinfected at the entrance with all employees encouraged to follow social distancing.

“We’re confident in the procedures we’ve undertaken to ensure the health and wellbeing of the workers, and we’ve also incorporated site safety measures, which include site entry temperature checks, COVID-19 compliant personnel training, hand sanitizers and hand-washing facilities to name a few,” Parikh added.

The Iconic Galaxy is set to deliver 285 super-luxury, two, three, four and five bed-roomed apartments amidst a plethora of world-class amenities and services. Accessible from two roads, the apartment complex is perched on the trunk route of Buthgamuwa Road. The apartment complex will be home to a seven-level private club worthy of a five-star hotel, private guest suites for overnight visitors and on-site conveniences that include a supermarket, business centre, beauty salon and laundromat. A three-bedroom show apartment has also been set up for prospective buyers at the site.

The apartment complex was also recognised in the residential high-rise development category for Sri Lanka at the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2020-21.
