Home Lands Group of Companies marked a defining milestone, breaking ground on Home Lands Diamond Tower, the Group’s new corporate headquarters in Thummulla, Colombo. The groundbreaking and foundation stone laying ceremony was led by Mr. Nalin Herath, Chairman and Managing Director, whose vision has guided the Group for almost two and a half decades to its position today as Sri Lanka’s No. 1, most trusted and most innovative developer. He was joined by the directors, management, staff and distinguished guests. Together, they broke ground and laid the foundation stone, a moment that reflected the Group’s shared vision and the strength of the leadership team that will carry the Group into its next era of growth.
Rising 21 floors above three basement levels, Home Lands Diamond Tower is set to become a bold new landmark in Colombo’s skyline. Inspired by the brilliance and strength of a diamond, the tower’s futuristic design features a distinctive diamond-patterned façade and a signature diamond-shaped crown, giving it an iconic presence in the city. Conceived as a building of the future, it will combine intelligent design, advanced building technology and modern, dynamic workspaces to create an environment built for innovation, collaboration, excellence and will serve as the Group’s flagship address as it continues to shape the future of Sri Lankan real estate.
The tower will be built by Heyraa Construction, the Group’s own construction arm, which holds the highest CS2 grading from the Construction Industry Development Authority (CIDA). Scheduled for completion in thirty months, the project will showcase the engineering capability and uncompromising quality that define every Home Lands development.
“Diamond Tower is a statement of where Home Lands is heading. Trust has always been our foundation, innovation is our driving force, and excellence is our standard. From here, we will lead the next generation of real estate, creating developments that set new benchmarks for how people live, work and invest,” said Mr. Nalin Herath, Chairman and Managing Director, Home Lands Group of Companies.
