In another major milestone for Sri Lanka’s premier real-estate developer, John Keells Properties (JKP) celebrated the completion of the structural work for all three towers of its highly anticipated TRI-ZEN smart residences with a special ‘Topping Off’ ceremony.
The event was marked with a private ceremony attended by the senior management of John Keells Properties including John Keells Holdings Chairman Krishan Balendra, together with representatives from the development’s joint venture partner Indra Traders Ltd. and the contractor China State Construction Engineering Corporation Ltd.
“We take this opportunity to congratulate our teams for their tireless efforts in keeping construction on TRI-ZEN moving at a steady pace despite facing often unprecedented challenges owing to the pandemic. With this milestone, we are now moving into the final phases of construction, and we look forward to handing over the apartments to our customers in 2023,” TRI-ZEN Development Manager Lumbini Pathirage said.
A tradition among builders across the globe, the topping off ceremony marks the placement of the last structural element at the final roof height and celebrates the accomplishment of the structural construction crews and the transition to interior construction.
Enhancing Colombo’s skyline with three towers of 52, 54, and 52 floors respectively, TRI-ZEN will comprise a total of 891 smart apartment units. Featuring over 35 amenities, including two swimming pools, opulent function rooms, two gymnasiums, a rooftop badminton court, a café and a minimart, TRI-ZEN is designed to offer residents the pinnacle in modern, cosmopolitan, smart living.
“Achieving this milestone on target, despite the unprecedented challenges our country has faced in the last three years, is a remarkable achievement. It is testament to the absolute grit, determination and professionalism of our incredible team and the strength and stability of John Keells Properties,” said Property Group President Nayana Mawilmada.
“We set out on this project with the aim of redefining the entire concept of urban living in Sri Lanka. The record sales we have seen on TRI-ZEN shows that this vision is embraced by both investors and homebuyers alike.
“In volatile economic times, real estate is perhaps the most attractive and stable asset class to invest in. The unique value proposition and concept of TRI-ZEN, its unbeatable location right in the centre of Colombo, and the unmatched reliability and execution capacity of John Keells Properties truly sets this project apart from the rest,” he added.
