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.

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.

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.

Regards
Dinusha
