This was followed by Maga Engineering with five nominations as well as Capital TRUST Residencies and Walkers CML Properties with four nods each.
Other finalists that received multiple nominations include Home Lands Skyline with three nominations and Indocean Developers (two nominations).
Indocean Developers’ director Pradeep Moraes has been named by the editors of PropertyGuru Property Report magazine as the first Sri Lanka Real Estate Personality of the Year for his efforts to raise the local real estate sector’s standards and for his work as chairman of the Condominium Developers Association of Sri Lanka.
“Post-war Sri Lanka has seen a huge development in the real estate sector. There are a lot of rapid developments and I think this is a brilliant time to showcase Sri Lankan real estate, capabilities, and design competency at a regional level,” said Paramount Realty CEO Dr Nirmal de Silva, who will once again serve as this year’s head judge.
With Sri Lanka’s Megapolis and Western Development Minister Champika Ranawaka set to deliver the keynote address, the black-tie gala dinner at the ballroom of Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo is expected to be attended by some 300 guests and members of the press.
The main category winners will compete in the regional PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final that will be held for the first in Bangkok in November.
