Port City breaks ground for Business Centre

Chairman of the Colombo Port City Economic Commission Dinesh Weerakkody said that the Port City Commission will ensure that all the approvals for investment will be given in one place. Looking to the future, the Colombo Port City is soon to be renamed as “Colombo Financial Center”.

He said that the ground- breaking ceremony for the Business Centre at Port City, Colombo held yesterday signifies a major milestone, not just for the project, but for the Country’s ambition to become a leading regional hub for technology and commerce. This world class, premium business park will showcase contemporary infrastructure and 120,000 square feet of premium office space, whilst caters to diverse business needs through distinct corporate blocks – the IT Park and Commercial District.

Sustainability is a core principle at the business centre and offers diverse modern work environments, including garden offices, co-working spaces and low density workspaces. Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardhana who was the chief guest said that the business center transcends a catalyst for growth and is poised to cultivate a pioneering commercial eco-system.

The Business Center of Port City stands as a testimony to the ambitious vision of making Sri Lanka a thriving business hub and a vibrant maritime cluster of the region. He also said that various structural reforms are to be implemented for the resurgence of economy and accountability.

“Various structural reforms are underway paving the way for an economic resurgence and accountability.”

Sri Lanka is destined to become a main economic hub once again in the region and I’m confident that the Port City of Colombo will certainly accelerate that process.

With the reforms we have enacted so far, I’m sure that Port City of Colombo will become one of the easiest places to do business. As we go along, the other reforms that are coming will accelerate the process further cementing these prospects, as the gateway to South Asia and a Central Hub for the East and the West. Under the leadership of President Ranil Wickremesinghe, today we are able to come out of the economic crisis. We are on the growth path.”

The Premier thanked the China Ambassador Qi Zhenhong for the tremendous support and strength that China has given to Sri Lanka to the path of development of this project. He further mentioned that Sri Lanka has been supported by China right through the last 60 years.
