Port City Colombo Master Plan

Port City Colombo is a large-scale integrated city being developed on more than 200ha of reclaimed land near Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is the single biggest private sector development in the country and expected to transform Colombo into a commerce, tourism and cultural hub.

The project will be an extension of the Colombo Central Business District and create a high-quality urban environment measuring more than five million square metres for approximately 40,000 residents and visitors. China Communication Construction is developing the project through its subsidiary China Harbor Engineering Construction (CHEC).

The $1.4bn urban project is expected to be completed by 2041 and will include residences, schools, offices, hotels, exhibitions, leisure, and commercial and public spaces.
