  • Colombo, a Modern City in the Making…
    Colombo, a modern city in the making | July 2013 | Colombo, a modern city in the making… Colombo city calls for the need of development towards an urbanized metropolis in transforming to a regional hub. Steps have been taken by means of improving the quality of the road network and beautification of the city to make the metropolis one of the greenest and cleanest cities in Asia. To cater to the required capacity increase in hotels, apartments, office and retail space, many projects including mixed developments have been proposed. However due to back and forth movements in certain policies and other delays, only few out of the announced projects are currently underway while the others are expected in the medium term. Therefore due to the disparity between the currently needed capacity and actually completed, a deficit in supply exists. Thus we believe that there would not be a glut due to these projects being automatically phased out. The government through the state owned Urban Development Authority is involved in the city development whilst many private companies have proposed projects. However out of the listed companies, few such as John Keells Holdings (JKH : LKR260.10), Colombo Land and Development (CLND : LKR43.70), Overseas Realty (OSEA : LKR18.50) and Access Engineering (AEL : LKR20.30) have grasped such opportunities. In the five star city hotel segment a shortfall of c.1,500 hotel rooms (by 2016) would be seen in meeting the expected tourist arrivals trend where the city is currently equipped with 2,000 hotel rooms. A deficit would be evident till 2016/17 as only two five star hotels out of the proposed projects are off ground currently (of capacity 700 rooms).

  • Real Estate Investment Leads Sri Lanka's Remarkable Transformation
    REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT LEADS SRI LANKA’S REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATION September 2018: The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the best real estate investment destination globally, registering the highest year-on-year investment growth of 29% (H1 2018 vs H1 2017) against 9% in the Americas and EMEA regions (Source: JLL Research Report “Global Capital Flows”, Q2 2018). Within this region, Sri Lanka is a shining example of a thriving emerging market. The ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’, Sri Lanka is experiencing a surge in real estate investment following a steady period of impressive economic growth over the past decade. A vibrant democracy, political stability, a transparent and robust legal system based on the canons of the Laws of England, freedom for foreigners to invest, a transparent regulatory regime for free capital movements, a relatively benign tax environment, a peaceful South Asian region and an economy getting into a sustained growth all combine to put the spotlight on this island one of the top opportunities for real estate investments in emerging Asian economies. Extensive government investment and private consumption has helped deliver an impressive GDP growth of 4.5% according to World Bank estimates. Sri Lanka’s capital city, Colombo, is one of the region’s fastest-growing commercial hubs. Located at the centre of major shipping routes connecting South Asia and the Far East with Europe, Africa and America, it enjoys enormous strategic importance and today the city is a base for numerous businesses and government institutions. Additionally, strong air connectivity and popularity for tourists have provided a solid foundation for the country’s transformation.
