Viva La Vista!

A girl looking out from Sapphire Residence towers

There may be little doubt that life at Sapphire Residences will provide a luxury vertical living experience that sets new standards in South Asia, but arguably one of the most immediately apparent benefits of owning a Sky Mansion here is the breath-taking view that comes with it.

“The buildings use an innovative triangular shape to maximise the internal space of each floor but above all to allow spectacular uninterrupted ocean, city and lake views,” explains Arun Pathak, Managing Director of WelcomHotels Lanka (Private) Limited, the development company. “The structure is engineered with no external supporting walls, allowing natural light to fill every residence, while 4 metre ceilings further enhance the enormous living spaces and the views from the Sky Mansions.” He adds that, following a global trend at the uber-luxury end of the market for large lateral apartments, the top 2 floors (both over 200 metres above Galle Face) will feature South Asia’s largest penthouses. “With 6-metre-high ceilings and full-length windows, these two individual Master Penthouses will provide some of the most spectacular 360° views even seen in the region.” Sapphire Residences offers the most luxurious living experiences in Asia and stunning views at their new apartments for sale in Colombo.

Destined to become a globally recognised landmark for Colombo, the distinctive design of the 224-metre residential tower that towers above Galle Face is the brainchild of U.S. architectural firm Gensler, which created the two parallel towers connected by a 54-metre long sky bridge for this distinctive oceanfront complex. Gensler ranks among the world’s leading architectural firms, an industry pioneer and visionary that has designed numerous developments across the globe. Their experience and expertise have ensured that Sapphire Residences and the neighbouring ITC One hotel are set to become design icons on the world stage; aesthetically superior, technologically advanced and visually striking. Sapphire Residences built with state-of-the-art architecture and design is home to the most innovative and intelligent new apartments for sale in Colombo.

Comprising 132 Sky Mansions that will redefine elevated living in the Indian Ocean region and position Sapphire Residences as Colombo’s #1 residential address, the top 2 floors will feature the region’s largest penthouses that will offer some of most spectacular 360° views in the Indian Ocean region.

The development is symbolic of a modern Sri Lanka which remains true to its roots. Accordingly, Sapphire Residences and the ITC One hotel are modern skyscrapers with a futuristic illuminated exterior wrapping around each tower, while the interiors draw inspiration from the rich architectural history of Sri Lanka and incorporate elements of local architecture and vernacular practices. The residential interiors are designed by London-based YOO working with Philippe Starck in Paris and the landscaping is by Burega Farnell in Singapore.

“Sapphire Residences are not just apartments,” adds Mr. Pathak, “they are ‘homes in the sky’ where residents can enjoy the enormous living areas, exceptional leisure amenities and 5-star services. The unique architecture, interiors, landscapes, amenities, services, materials and finishes all combine to serve one primary purpose – to make everyday life an extraordinary experience for residents.”
