Tilko Blue Ocean Holdings (Pvt) Ltd. has signed an agreement with the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka (BOI) to develop Yarl Royal Palace, a high‑rise residential project set to become the tallest in Northern Sri Lanka.

Located at No. 107, Kandy Road, Jaffna, overlooking the historic Old Park, the development will feature six levels of modern car parking, 13 residential floors and 78 premium residences. 

The project is positioned as a benchmark for premium urban living in the region and reflects long‑term private‑sector confidence in Jaffna’s economic potential.

Issuing a statement, the company said the BOI agreement marks a key institutional milestone, underscoring confidence in the Northern Province’s ability to attract large‑scale investment.

Beyond its physical scale, the project is expected to generate wider economic activity across construction, engineering, consultancy, building materials, logistics, financial services and property management. It will also create employment opportunities and contribute to the modernization of Jaffna’s urban environment.

Tilko Blue Ocean Holdings highlighted Jaffna’s strong fundamentals for growth, an entrepreneurial community, established professional and educational base, improving infrastructure, valuable urban land and close ties with the global Tamil diaspora. The project aims to strengthen those diaspora connections by offering overseas families, professionals and investors a direct stake in Jaffna’s evolving property market.

The company further noted that while Colombo has traditionally dominated premium residential development, Yarl Royal Palace signals the potential for sophisticated private investment in Jaffna. The project is envisioned as both a distinctive addition to the city’s skyline and a catalyst for further investment in the region.

The company expressed appreciation to the BOI, government authorities, consultants, project teams and stakeholders for their support, adding that Yarl Royal Palace represents a long‑term commitment to building a stronger, investment‑driven future for Northern Sri Lanka. (Newswire)
