We also already have a plan to start a city hotel in Colombo and a 200-room hotel in Tangalle, the feasibility study of which has already been completed.

“In the Hyde Park corner area itself, Richard Peiris Group has purchased another adjoining building behind the Carmart premises. There a mixed development project of 54 stories is being planned. It will have over 467 apartments, a large banquet hall, state-of-the-art hospital, a big Super Centre and an office complex.

There too, the feasibility study is over and by next year, the project could take off. The cost of the project is around Rs. 20 billion,” said Jabir. A time frame of two to three years has been given for the completion of the project. At Tangalla, it will be a 200-room tourist hotel with a beach front and the 10-acre land has already been purchased. The feasibility study is on and the construction will begin soon after the mixed development project in Colombo.
