WelcomHotels Lanka Ltd. This week announced the completion of three new show apartments on the 35th level of the imposing Sapphire Residences Tower at Galle Face Centre.
Prospective buyers can now experience first-hand the vast size and space of the apartments with spectacular panoramic views.
A part of Sri Lanka’s newest and most iconic landmark, Sapphire Residences was designed by leading global names in construction and architecture, including legendary designer Philippe Starck based in Paris.
The stunning new show apartments bring an unprecedented level of luxury to Sri Lanka and the region, and they are available to view in three of the four distinctive styles by YOO Inspired by Starck:
Classic is deeply tactile and sensual, appealing to all the senses with soft leathers, dark woods, and rich mahogany.
Minimal is clean and calm; a modern edge incorporating glass, metal, concrete and neutral colours.
The Culture palette is the perfect marriage of past and present; the coming together of the most elegant and exquisitely produced objects and ideas from yesterday, placed alongside the finest designs of today.
The fourth style, Nature, evokes a sense of purity and simplicity, deriving its inspiration from a deep-rooted desire of city dwellers to bring the essence of nature into their urban environment. This style has already been available for viewing at the Experience Centre at New Baladaksha Mawatha / Galle Face Centre Road, receiving widespread acclaim.
The majestic Sapphire Residences tower consists of 50 floors and overlooks the adjacent five-star super deluxe ITC hotel. It offers a collection of 132 magnificent sky mansions that offer South Asia’s most exclusive and spacious elevated living experiences. The distinctive and unique Ahasa One Sky Bridge connects the two towers.
As a mixed-use project, the development will also consist of offices available for lease/rent, high-end retail spaces and recreational and commercial amenities, becoming a hub for an enhanced lifestyle.
Sapphire Residences is set to be one of the city’s most sustainable residential development, as it embodies the philosophy of ‘Responsible Luxury’. It has achieved the prestigious and globally respected LEED pre-certification at the highest Platinum level being LEED BD+C (Core and Shell Development) pre-certification rating and ensuring the lowest environmental impact of any building on this scale.
