    The National Housing Development Authority (NHDA) would relocate the three hundred families living in the Bambalapitiya flats in a sixty storey building, after the flats were demolished for the proposed mixed development project, NHDA Deputy General Manager Sarath Kumara said. Mr. Kumara said the Bambalapitiya flats would be demolished in order to claim the 10.16-acre land for another housing and semi-commercial project by a Singapore-based Indian company. However, discussions were still ongoing with the people in the flats, and a date to knock down the building was yet to be decided, he said. Mr. Kumara pointed out that each family would receive Rs.50, 000 - Rs. 80,000 as rental for temporary places until the construction of the new sixty storey building was completed. He said an acre from the entire land, valued at Rs.11.3 billion, would be reserved for the relocation project. According to him, the construction of the new building would be completed in two and half years. However, the date of commencement is yet to be decided. Sources said the Cabinet approval for the redevelopment of Bambalapitiya flats was given on March 2, 2016. “This building, located near the sea, has decayed and become unsafe. The proposal made by Housing and Construction Minister Sajith Premadasa to implement the redevelopment of the Bambalapitiya flats with foreign investors recommended by the Board of Investment was approved by the Cabinet,” the government information department said. The mixed development project which would be constructed on 9.16 acres of the total land would consist of semi-commercial ventures developed by the Singapore-based Indian company, Mr. Kumara said. - See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/115340/-f...feed&utm_medium=facebook#sthash.oAtoVWBJ.dpuf

    A Home In The Sky: Why Apartments Are More Popular Than Houses

    In this fast-moving world, living on your own terms is almost a requisite: with the prices of housing skyrocketing, however, moving out of your parents’ home and into your own would seem like a luxury. In addition to the cost of owning a house, maintaining a house requires time, time which young professionals of today simply don’t have. Almost as if in response to this change in needs, even a city as small as Colombo has seen many apartment buildings and complexes cropping up with advantages that supersede the benefits offered by a house.

    Houses Vs. Apartments

    A great example of vertical living made affordable, projects like Fairway Koswatte ensure that the usual hassle of owning your own house are negated.
    A great example of vertical living made affordable, projects like Fairway Koswatte ensure that the usual hassle of owning your own house are negated.
    Houses often spell family, children, and scarily enough, constant cleaning and fixing. The cost of maintaining your own house often overlooks the constant need of replacing, repairing or renovating, almost on a weekly basis it would seem. Apart from monetary costs, however, this is also time-consuming, and as a result of this hassle, many office goers and young professionals are increasingly opting out of the hassle of owning a house. Of course, hiring a personal cleaner and cook makes things easier, but at a time when every cent counts, this is just another added burden.

    Living The Fast Life

    Vertical living is essentially living without the usual hassle of owning a house: a less obvious advantage, but one which should not be overlooked, is that most apartments today even take care of maintenance and repairs, saving money otherwise spent on plumbers and electricians.

    Vertical living also means easy access to services that would otherwise require driving out into the city to obtain. Laundry, gym and pool facilities, coupled with 24/7 security and even garbage disposal, takes care of the hassles our parents’ generation often had to contend with.

    Apart from ease of access and maintenance, the obvious reason why apartments are increasing in popularity is because they often cost less than a house ‒ and that certainly does not include a house with a built-in pool, event hall, activity room, gymnasium and games room ‒ all facilities which high rise apartments, notably new ventures like Urban Living Fairway Koswatte offer for less than the price of a house.

    Apartments can be the right balance between spacious and compact - offering the right amount of room to move around, and not too much to make maintenance a headache.
    Apartments can be the right balance between spacious and compact – offering the right amount of room to move around, and not too much to make maintenance a headache.
    Without a doubt, the biggest advantage of living in an apartment, however, is security for both inhabitants and possessions, including your vehicle, at all times of the day and night. In addition to security, there’s a tiny Sri Lankan quirk which has convinced many millennials that apartments are a better investment: prompted by the possibilities of blackouts, which leach into precious productive hours, it’s the attraction of guaranteed access to basic facilities like electricity and water that has sealed the deal for many.

    While many say that the biggest downside of living in an apartment is the lack of greenery and gardens, you’d be surprised to hear that even that is changing: in Koswatte, for instance, Fairway Koswatte has a well-maintained garden and landscaping, a welcome reprieve from the concrete jungle that the city is increasingly turning into.

    Even if the love of your life is your car, which city living has made essential but difficult to won due to a lack of parking spaces, living in an apartment has ensured that there’s not just security but space for your car, and perhaps even a spot for a guest car, making life easier for those who work the nine to five.

    So if you’re battling out the pros and cons in your head, it would seem that apartments have long since rested their case.

    Oceanfront Condos, located in Nilaveli, is shaping up to be the first oceanfront condominium property in Sri Lanka.

    A project by International Construction Consortium (Pvt) Ltd (ICC), a leading Sri Lankan general contractor, with over three decades of experience across several sectors, the project will offer 54 condominiums in four identical building footprints.

    Due to its location in one of the most scenic beaches in the island, residents are sure to enjoy panoramic ocean views and the serenity of nature.

    With spacious living spaces, high quality fittings, as well as wooden doors, the condos are designed with the comfort of the residents in mind. The project's unique architecture allows ocean view from every condominium unit.


    the Proposed Project
    ICC Vice Chairman Harsha De Saram said Oceanfront Condos is the perfect answer to the hectic pace of city life, it is not just an idyllic escape. "In addition to the 82 foot freshwater swimming pool set against the beach and beach gardens, residents can engage in scuba diving, blue whale watching and boat trips, as well as hold barbecue evenings under the clear starry skies of Nilaveli,”he said.

    Oceanfront Condos is only a 45 minute flight from Colombo, and is the gateway to a number of other destinations, including the newest golf courses in Sri Lanka, Pigeon Island, Fort Fredrick, the Koneswaram Temple and the Trincomalee Port, which is the second largest natural harbour in the world.

    The project introduces a new concept to Sri Lanka, that is; oceanfront properties, and is being built upon a 3 acre land. The gated community offers 24 hour security to the residents and the management of the condominiums will be done by the company itself. The construction team at ICC is currently engaged at the site, and construction work of Oceanfront Condos is set to be completed by September, 2017.


    ICC has won numerous awards throughout its career for its excellence in building construction, and its reputation has led to the project's popularity. According to ICC, over 60% of the exclusive 54 condominiums have already been purchased by prospective residents.

    The high demand garnered by the project has encouraged ICC to develop a second phase, wherein 24 exclusive condos will be built in a two acre zone nearby the Oceanfront Condos.
