Prime Lands Residencies have completed the construction of two more successful apartment projects at Kassapa Road, Colombo 5, and begun the handing over process to customers. Each apartment project consists of the ground floor and six floors built to the highest standards and in compliance with all regulatory requirements.
Executive Director Nalinda Heenatigala said: “Despite the many challenges we had to face in the construction industry over the past two years, we are very happy to have completed both projects and begun handing them over to our customers. Our teams rallied round very well despite the COVID pandemic and the economic crisis to 
ensure that we deliver what was promised. We also appreciate very much the cooperation extended by the various regulatory authorities including the UDA and the Condominium Management Authority in this endeavour.”
The two projects ‘Java 25’ and ‘Desire’ are lifestyle apartment projects with 25 and 35 apartment units respectively and are equipped with elevator, swimming pool, gym, 24-hour security, parking facilities and standby generator.
“They are on the border of Colombo 5 and 7, and are within walking distance of leading schools such as Visakha Vidyalaya, Thurstan College, Holy Family Convent and Royal College. They have proved popular with investors and most properties have already been snapped up,” Heenatigala explained. “The two- and three-bedroom apartments, offer privacy and seclusion with the convenience of luxurious urban living in a quiet environment.” “We were recently honoured as the leading real estate consumer brand in Sri Lanka and recognised as “The Best of The Best” and most valuable real-estate consumer brand in the country by LMD’s Brands Annual 2022,” said Heenatigala.
“We were also ranked as the most respected real estate organisation for four years and the Most awarded real estate entity for two consecutive years. ‘Great Place to Work’ recognised us for six years as a team that works with commitment, passion and purpose. Prime will continue to offer strong support for the recovery of Sri Lanka’s economy,” he added.
Prime Group has ongoing and completed projects with a portfolio of over 29 individual housing projects, land projects spread across 18 districts in the country and over 40 apartment projects located in Colombo and the suburbs which is a testament of delivering on their promises to the customers and the group’s financial stability.
This was reaffirmed by the latest credit rating upgrade assigned to both Prime Lands Ltd. and Prime Lands Residencies by the Independent Rating Agency ICRA Lanka Ltd., (Subsidiary of Moody’s Investors Service) from [SL] A- (stable) to [SL] A (stable) in April 2022. Upgrading the credit rating during a time when the industry is facing adverse head winds from both the macro and microenvironment, was highly welcomed by all stakeholders of the Prime Group.
