John Keells Properties yesterday announced its official sponsorship of the Royal-Thomian ‘Big Match’ this year, as the exclusive property partner for the 140th edition of the most-anticipated sporting event of the school calendar.

The annual ‘Battle of the Blues’ is scheduled this year to take place at the SSC from 7-9 March. In partnering with Sri Lanka’s longest running - and the world’s second-longest - uninterrupted cricket encounter, John Keells Properties is endorsing the legacy of camaraderie and sportsmanship bequeathed from generation to generation, a set of principles consistent with the strong set of corporate values the John Keells Group represents.

In addition to John Keells Properties’ portfolio of completed landmark residential developments, they also have two exciting projects currently underway: TRI-ZEN ‘smart’ apartments, located in the heart of the city, is priced from Rs. 23.5 million upwards. Cinnamon Life is now nearing its completion, with 93% of the structural work completed to date, and it will not only transform the local real estate and business arena, it will put Sri Lanka on the map as an entertainment, travel, lifestyle and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hotspot.  Cinnamon Life and TRI-ZEN are currently under construction, and both properties are already making waves in transforming the urban landscape of Colombo.

At a press conference held at the BMICH on Wednesday, 20 February, the sponsorship cheque was handed over to Royal College Principal B. A. Abeyratne, and S. Thomas’ College Sub Warden Asanka Perera, by John Keells Properties Chief Marketing Officer Roshanie Jayasundera-Moraes, and Head of Sales Nadeem Shums.
