Kelsey Homes, Sri Lanka’s pioneering real estate developer, hosted the ground-breaking ceremony of its latest project Central Park Ja-Ela on 6 February, following the resounding success of its first and second phases.

Central Park Ja-Ela is a gated development consisting of 350+ housing units with 40+ amenities. Housing units are designed by the renowned architect Murad Ismail of MICD Associates while Deepal Wickramasinghe Associates Ltd. are the Structural Engineers for the project. The property is spread across 15 acres of lush land in Ja-Ela and is located in one of the most central locations in the country. 

The first and second phases of the project witnessed immense success, selling over 50% of its housing and apartment units within just a short span of time. All 70 apartments in the first phase were sold out within 30 days from the launch date – an incredible feat especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Further the second phase was launched in September 2020 and to date the project has sold over 190 units from a total of 356 units. The significant demand from customers despite the challenging economic climate was a true testament to the confidence in the company and its leading position in the Sri Lankan real estate market. 

Commenting on the progress of the project and its success, Kelsey Developments PLC CEO Lalinda Kalubowila stated: “The success of the first and second phases clearly demonstrated the magnitude of trust and confidence that clients have in Kelsey Homes and we’re even more determined to continue raising the bar in creating high quality, beautifully-designed homes and apartments. We’re confident that the demand for Central Park Ja-Ela will be unprecedented; and we’re excited to enrich more lives by redefining luxury.”

Additionally, the roof terrace party area, outdoor BBQ area, open function hall facing the pool, open pavilion facing the pool, covered function hall, and the club house are ideal spaces to entertain family and friends. Children can have endless fun at the kids’ indoor play area, the kiddies’ pool, and the outdoor play zone.

Further, Central Park Ja-Ela is located only 500m from the Colombo-Negombo main road and embodies the perfect balance of modernity in a natural environment.
