Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC has launched Havelock City Residences, the fifth and final phase of its Havelock City development in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The launch marks the final stage of the company's integrated mixed-use project, which brings together residential, commercial and retail spaces.

The official launch event took place on 29 October 2026 at Hilton Colombo, attended by invited guests. According to the company, 50% of the apartments had been pre-sold before the official launch.

Havelock City Residences: Apartments and Amenities

Spread across an 18-acre development, Havelock City includes seven acres of landscaped gardens, described as the largest single enclosed green space in Sri Lanka. The last degree of the residential project was done by P&T Group based in Singapore.

Apart from two-, three- and four-room apartments, Havelock City Residences will also have the penthouses. The concepts are made in such a way so that natural light and ventilation are maximally used with sufficient privacy and attractive views.

The residential project will also include a wide variety of fitness and recreational services. Among them one can find hiking and jogging paths, fitness clubs, areas for squash games, banquet halls, and various furnished spots for spending time.

An assisted living concept is also part of the development. It is intended to support accessibility, independence and safety for residents at different stages of life.

Integrated Living Within Havelock City

The wider Havelock City development incorporates Havelock City Mall and Mireka Office Tower. Their presence within the development provides residents with access to shopping, dining, entertainment and everyday services.

Pravir Samarasinghe, Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC, described the launch as an important milestone in completing the company's original vision for Havelock City. He highlighted the combination of residential space, greenery, connectivity and contemporary living offered by the final phase.

Overseas Realty is also the developer behind the World Trade Center Colombo. Havelock City Residences will be professionally managed by Realty Management Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company. Its services include property management, along with support for rental and resale arrangements.

With the fifth phase, Overseas Realty is bringing its Havelock City development towards completion. Havelock City Residences is expected to be completed in November 2030.
