“The market for real estate assets in Sri Lanka has shown a significant growth phenomenon since 2009 with a marked increase in price levels of real estate assets including bare lands, residential housing, commercial premises and condominium style apartments. Increased foreign investment interest in prime blocks of commercial lands in the city of Colombo, the acquisition and resale of leisure properties by private investors and a general increase in confidence levels of household investors is likely to have fueled the development of Sri Lanka’s property market during the past 24 months. ..” KPMG
