Prime Group has received recognition for its contribution to attracting substantial Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Sri Lanka through the real estate sector at the Honor Roll & Business Awards 2026, presented by the Australia Sri Lanka Business Council (ASLBC). The accolade marks another significant achievement in the Group’s three-decade journey of promoting Sri Lankan real estate to international markets.
The awards ceremony took place on October 5 at Pullman Melbourne on the Park in Melbourne, Australia, with the participation of Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece, Sri Lankan High Commissioner to Australia Yasoja Gunasekara, and Australia Sri Lanka Business Council President Dilkie Perera. The recognition highlights Prime Group’s continued efforts to position Sri Lanka as an attractive destination for real estate investment while connecting overseas Sri Lankans and international investors with opportunities in the country’s property market.
Throughout its history, Prime Group has played a prominent role in shaping Sri Lanka’s real estate industry through innovation, industry-leading standards and an enduring commitment to quality. As one of the country’s largest publicly listed real estate companies, backed by an award-winning track record, the Group continues to strengthen its position in the market while building long-term value and investor confidence.
Commenting on the recognition, Prime Group Chairman Premalal Brahmanage said, “Over the past three to four years, Prime has pursued a clear mission to take Sri Lankan real estate to the global market. We have consistently maintained that real estate can be an export for Sri Lanka, and today, we are turning that vision into reality. This recognition reflects the growing impact of our efforts to bring valuable foreign currency into the country through property sales to international investors. Our reach extends well beyond Australia, encompassing the UK, Canada, the USA, the GCC and markets across the world.”
“The tremendous success of Prime’s recent tour of Australia and New Zealand, featuring our Brand Ambassadors Bathiya & Santhush (BNS), stands as another powerful testament to our global vision. Through engagements with the Sri Lankan diaspora and prospective international investors across major cities, including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Christchurch and Auckland, the tour demonstrated our commitment to taking Sri Lankan music and talent to audiences around the world,” said Sandamini Perera, Co-Chairperson of Prime Group.
