Rush Lanka Group, a Sri Lankan property developer with more than 30 years of experience in residential development, has launched Rush City – Phase 01, a new housing development in Dematagoda, Colombo 09, designed to bring affordable premium living to the city.
The development combines contemporary architecture, modern lifestyle amenities and a strategically located urban setting, offering convenient access to Colombo’s major commercial and business hubs.
Rush City will comprise more than 400 modern apartments within a thoughtfully planned residential community. Designed with efficient use of space, contemporary aesthetics and practical living in mind, the project is positioned to cater to young professionals, growing families, first-time homebuyers and investors looking for long-term value in an increasingly sought-after part of Colombo.
The project also features flexible payment plans aimed at making homeownership more accessible to a wider range of buyers. Alongside its modern design and lifestyle facilities, the development offers investors an opportunity to acquire property in a location with potential for long-term appreciation, while benefiting from demand among prospective homeowners and tenants.
Commenting on the launch, Rush Lanka Group Director Zaheer Ariff said: “Rush City reflects our vision of making quality urban living accessible to more Sri Lankans. The development brings together affordability, convenience and contemporary living standards to create lasting value for both homeowners and investors.
“With Rush City, we are going beyond the construction of apartments. We are creating a vibrant residential community that can contribute to Colombo’s future growth while giving residents an environment and lifestyle they can genuinely enjoy.”
Sysco LABS Hosts Second GLO Programme Graduation
Sysco LABS celebrated the graduation of the second phase of its Guiding Leadership & Outreach (GLO) recently, at the Courtyard by Marriott Colombo.
The programme was delivered in partnership with the Association of Human Resource Professionals (AHRP) and Global Learning Lab (GLL).
GLO is a leadership development initiative built around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), combining leadership development, communication, systems thinking, teamwork and sustainable impact projects to encourage participants to move beyond theory into practical community action. Throughout this phase, participants represented 12 university and industry cohorts from across Sri Lanka, including the University of Moratuwa, SLIIT, IIT, the University of Colombo School of Computing, NSBM, the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, APIIT, Digital Trust Alliance and ECU, completing intensive leadership academies while designing solutions to address real societal challenges.
“Seeing this cohort turn leadership theory into projects that address real community needs is exactly what GLO set out to achieve. It reflects the calibre of leaders we are nurturing for Sri Lanka’s future,” said Rehan Anthonis, Senior Director, People Operations, Sysco LABS, and Patron of Project GLO.
The graduation ceremony formalised the completion of the program by incubating four student-led sustainable impact projects – CarbonEye, an AI-based smart plastic recycling system by NSBM; Bright Path, an eight-week life-skills programme for children at the Sewana Disabled Home by ECU; ML Opsidian Genesis, an industry-led MLOps upskilling initiative by UCSC; and Safe Scroll, a cyber safety awareness programme for schoolgirls by Digital Trust Alliance.
