The accomplishment of this milestone, along with other ongoing work in MEP and finishing, now positions the project well on track for overall completion by end 2025.”

Attended by representatives of both  shareholders, project consultants, regulatory authorities and other dignitaries, and hosted on the rooftop of the rear towers, the occasion afforded invitees a taste of the panoramic views of the Colombo Harbour, Colombo City, Port City and Indian Ocean, that discerning homeowners will get to call their own.

The Project Director and Marina Square Board Member, Mr. Kosala Wickramasinghe, sharing his thoughts at the event attributed the vast resources, strength and experience of Access Engineering and CHEC for sustained construction activities through challenging periods and noted, “The development will surely revolutionise the urban luxury living experience in the country, with our curated spaces and range of amenities that have been thoughtfully designed to suit the requirements of every modern homeowner.
