At this year’s PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Sri Lanka), Home Lands Group reaffirmed its position as one of the country’s most forward-thinking real estate leaders, securing top honours across development, design, and investment categories. When taken as a whole, these wins show a portfolio characterized not only by scale and ambition but also by cleverly implemented ideas that improve residential living and unleash long-term value for both investors and communities.
Pentara Residencies-Thummulla Handiya, developed by Home Lands Skyline (Private) Limited and awarded Best Luxury Condo Development (Colombo), is at the heart of this recognition. Pentara, which rises at the intersection of some of Colombo’s most sought-after neighborhoods, sets itself apart with a stunning twin-tower silhouette and a variety of high-end living experiences designed high above the city. Its sky-level amenities, such as a floating restaurant, cantilevered pool, and panoramic sky bridge, were praised by judges as defining characteristics of sophisticated urban living. Pentara’s spacious interiors and wellness-focused spaces further establish it as the capital’s premier luxury residence.
The company’s presence in Negombo still has a strong architectural character and development that is focused on the community. Santorini Resort Apartments & Residencies, a property with a unique coastal design inspired by its Greek namesake, won the Best Completed Condo Development title. The judges praised the way it combined resort-level amenities, expansive green spaces, themed parks, and blue-and-white design themes to create a vibrant, self-sufficient modern sanctuary for its residents.
Another significant accolade for Negombo was given to Bayfonte Marina Resort Apartments & Villas for Best Waterfront Condo Development. A unique waterfront lifestyle that combines expansive views with a strong resort sensibility is provided by Bayfonte, which is situated along the tranquil Negombo Lagoon. It was acknowledged as a sophisticated take on contemporary waterfront living due to its combination of yacht, jet ski, and seaplane facilities with elegant lagoon-facing residences.
Urbanspace Interiors Pvt Ltd, the winner of Best Condo Interior Design for the Pentara Model Apartment, further demonstrated its excellence of design. The judges noted the apartment’s quiet luxury and sophisticated materiality, praising its color scheme of fluted timber, brass-accented details, and custom mahogany craftsmanship. Intimacy and elegance are combined with modern clarity thanks to carefully chosen Perstop and melamine surfaces.
Completing the award sweep, Groundworth (Pvt) Ltd received Special Recognition for Land Investments. Groundworth’s 2024 projects sold out in quick succession during a year of high investor confidence and strong demand, with surrounding areas seeing significant appreciation in a matter of months. The company’s strategic execution and astute property selection were highlighted by judges as important facilitators of consistent value creation.
When taken as a whole, these achievements provide a compelling narrative about a development team that delivers architectural distinction, design accuracy, and investment vision in every area of its portfolio. The end product is a collection of initiatives that not only redefine modern lifestyle standards but also influence Sri Lanka’s real estate market going forward.
