Dusit Thani Sri Lanka Beachfront Balapitiya hosted a unique event to showcase its investment opportunities on the beautiful west coast of Sri Lanka with the all-time favorite Australian cricketer Steve Waugh.
The event was held at Sydney Cricket Ground, exclusively for an elite group of people comprising of Australian citizens and Sri Lankan expatriates. Waugh endorsed Dusit Thani Beachfront Balapitiya expressing his belief in this project.
Ajit Wijesinghe and Paul Dwyer, Directors of Indola Group, the Developer of the Dusit Thani Sri Lanka Balapitiya project, addressed the crowd. This event provided a great opportunity for Australian citizens to invest in Sri Lanka, encouraging foreign direct investments to Sri Lankan economy.
It was a successful event with attendees showing keen interest in the project where they gain remarkable benefits. Investment apartments is a popular concept amongst Australians and they were delighted with the great opportunity to invest in ocean view apartments managed by a five-star luxury brand.
The Beachfront Balapitiya is the ONE & ONLY high-rise luxury beachfront apartments that foreigners can legally buy in Sri Lanka. Investors receive a freehold title and guaranteed returns of 6% nett per annum for a period of five years that is paid quarterly in US$. There is the potential of approximately 30% in capital gains over two years and no on-going costs at all.
It offers 162 apartments, each featuring a large private balcony, 5-star designer interiors and stunning, uninterrupted ocean views with 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms priced from $ 244,000. The property will be erected in three stages commencing in March 2017. Stage 1 of the ‘The Beachfront’ consists of Tower A & B, out of which Tower B is already sold out. The stage 2 is a promenade featuring 15 international restaurants, bars and cafes, a spa, 2500sqm convention centre, tennis court, multi-faith chapel and gymnasium.
The Beachfront is the only 5-star luxury development of its kind in Sri Lanka and it has four secluded beaches set on 500 meters of pristine beachfront. Owners get an additional benefit of 21 nights free stay per year so they can enjoy their investment while it is increasing in value. This is very attractive for foreigners who can travel to Sri Lanka for a holiday with their families and find endless things to do around the safe and comfortable environment in southern Sri Lanka.
The property is managed by Dusit Thani International which is a 5-star luxury hotel chain with an international portfolio of a range of distinctive destination hotels and apartments around the world, including 25 in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. This assures that the apartments will be best managed by Dusit Thani to grow its customer base and exceed investor expectations.
Following the success of this event, the developer plans to hold a similar event in Melbourne in April 2017.
