Prime Melwa Port City Ltd. has officially launched its highly anticipated world-class marina living project at Port City Colombo, marking a major milestone in the development of one of the region’s most prestigious waterfront residential destinations.
Positioned as Asia’s Global Marina Front Masterpiece, the landmark development is set to redefine luxury waterfront living in South Asia while further strengthening Sri Lanka’s presence on the global real estate map.
In a statement, Prime Melwa Port City Ltd. said, “We are honoured to formally commence this globally inspired visionary project, a defining milestone in bringing our bold vision to life. Located in one of the most prestigious zones within Port City Colombo, this iconic development offers a rare opportunity to experience unparalleled marina-front, waterfront, and oceanfront living.”
In global real estate, value has long been defined by three key pillars: location, architectural excellence, and developer credibility. Overlooking the iconic marina and the Indian Ocean, the project promises sweeping panoramic views, strong long-term value appreciation, and a lifestyle crafted to international standards.
Situated within Port City Colombo—South Asia’s most ambitious and internationally recognised future city—Prime Melwa Port City enjoys a prime marina-front position with uninterrupted ocean views, creating a truly iconic waterfront address that sets it apart.
The design elevates the development into a true architectural landmark. Conceptualised by internationally acclaimed firm P&T Group Singapore, the project embodies sophistication, elegance, and refined waterfront living. Every detail has been carefully designed to reflect timeless architectural excellence, modern luxury, and world-class quality.
The strength of the project is further reinforced by its developers. Prime Group, a leading name in Sri Lanka’s real estate sector with over 30 years of experience, partners with Melwa, one of the country’s most trusted conglomerates, to shape a new era of premium real estate development.
Prime Group Co-Chairperson Sandamini Perera stated, “In global real estate, location is the most defining factor. Port City Colombo is South Asia’s most ambitious destination, and within it, the Marina Zone stands as the most prestigious, rare, and high-value address. Our development, the only residential project directly facing the marina, waterfront, and Indian Ocean, offers an exclusive lifestyle and a compelling long-term investment opportunity.”
