Heh, Nice road.. but what is it for ? Like a housing estate or something ? since I don't think a single apartment highrise would be that off the main road to require its own road,

OR maybe the MC is renovating the roads ! :)

Is this close to Colombo? Strange to build such a tall structure with no shortage of land around it.

it is to develop the Colombo suburbs and increase land prices and the area in general, projects like these are usually the start of a boom in an area outside the city itself... good project in my view: must be having an awesome view from the 30th floor spanning all over for several kilometers...

This area is part of the new residential zone declared by the UDA IIRC. They are improving the infrastructure, facilities etc to make this area into a residential suburb of Colombo to ease congestion or something.

Yep, It's called Diyawanna Residencies!

When is it supposed to finish?

Late 2009:)

I noticed on the pictures posted from 8th June 2007 with the title 'Progress as @ 30 May 2007' that the road seems to be flooded by the 'Diyawanna' lake. The lake is known to rise serveral feet during heavy rains and flood other areas around the parliament...

I guess this road is a new access road to Fairmount. I wonder how well the area can cope with a rise in water level.

PS. This is a great forum, thanks for all the pics etc.

Tnx, wel come to the show, keep posting^^

Hi guys,

I am very keen in buying a flat in this new development. Can you guys give me any thoughts on this?

I am particularly concerned about the flooding as one the of the users correctly pointed out. The water's edge gold course is prone to flooding and I am wondering if this is going to have the same problem.

Any thoughts would be really appreciated.

Dinusha

OK, I suppose Fiarmount is better because they have laid the Foundation & Superstructure with,
Reinforced concrete pile foundation. Superstructure consists of reinforced concrete columns, beams, and slabs. Specially designed for protection against seismic activity.

Refer: Fairmount (http://www.fairwayresidencies.com/earth_qu.htm)

Sounds good...

thanks for the reply.

so is this earthquake proofing going to help in the flooding? Do you know if the ground is lifted or whether they managed to put in place proper dranaige?

Also, what do you guys think of the Fairmount as an Investment?

How about the Rajagiriya and Kotte?

Not bad...

Still an year-and-a-half away from completion and about 65% of the apartments are sold. Pretty decent progress.

Yes it is, this tower surrounded by a golf club, 2apartments, & also lovely water edge^^

Nice :) It must be a unique view, compared to most apartments which are surrounded by miles of bland concrete buildings

Cool, but i'd prefer a nice penthouse on da 43rd storey of Celestial, top of the city...

The apartments look nice, tidy, and cosy but I don't like the concept of "open kitchens" for various reasons. Unfortunately (for me), many of the nice apartments coming up in Colombo have just that.

Thanks for the update saraprobe. The design looks very pleasing to the eye.:cheers:

I do like the design of Fairway Residences more. I wonder if anyone knows how the market for apartments is doing in Colombo at the moment?

I am also interested to know the state of expat oriented apartment market in Colombo.

Appreciate if someone with knowledge could do a run-down.

The building is beautiful but that antenna is an eyesore.

Fairmount completed and launched recently & photos to follow, I wanna remind you all that none sri lankan projects hasn't been stalled except Ceylinco once. :bash::bash::bash:

Really?

For those who don't speak Sinhala, it's saying that Indians staying in hotels in have set fire to rooms because they were making roti...

Lol.. Ella Daya!!

Well he is saying that there had been an incident in one of the top hotel in Colombo where the irons in the rooms had become dysfunctional, an actually after investigating why?? they have found out that the rooms with the screwed up irons were boarded by Indian tourists, he says since meals are about $15-20 in the hotel the Indians have made the dough for roti using flour and pressed on the dough using the iron ; reasulting in so many to malfunction.. so he points out and questions the public on what development can we hope for when we cant even bring in some people who want to spend money in our country!!

Well having a few Indian friends I can actually believe what this guy is saying as they really go to extreme measures when they want to save money!! :hilarious

Buthgamuwa Road floods for the slightest rain. Today (11th Nov 2010) is the best time to check these flood areas. Its all flooded. Edifice Castle is flooded. Colombo 7 is all fully flooded. Cotta road flooded. Have no idea about Colpetty. But Colombo 3,4,7 electricity is switched off.
