5 years in the making, Blue Mountain has captivated the imagination of home and apartment owners in a relatively short time span, breaking new ground and becoming a formidable player in the real-estate industry becoming one of the most highly awarded real-estate companies in 2015. A prodigy in Sri Lanka’s Real Estate Industry - Blue Mountain, has secured a significant market share of the land sales market and is growing constantly boosted by its innovative take on traditional services. 
The author of this tale, and the individual behind of Blue Mountain’s meteoric rise from a single employee company half a decade ago to over 2100 employees in 2016, is Dr. Hiran Hettiarachchi (MBBS – Colombo & MBA – Australia). The company was only an incidental project that he began while in Medical College, but one project led to another and Blue Mountain snow balled into a fully-fledged real estate company with a dynamic presence across the island, with offices in Colombo, Malabe, Kadawatha, Negombo, Kandy, Galle, Ratnapura as well as virtual offices in other main cities. Blue Mountain has raised the bar for all others in the industry by being the only award winning ERP accredited real estate company in the island, with an internationally trained IT team and IFS system valued at Rs 100 million. 

Stride by stride Blue Mountain is breathing a formidable breath of fresh air into the Sri Lankan real estate market. Dr. Hiran Hettiarachchi stated “Our performance in Q1 is an excellent start to the year, and we look forward to taking the company to even greater heights, by strengthening our brand as well as our product and service offering.   We also received significant international recognition last year, by winning a highly acclaimed 5-Star award at the prestigious Asia Pacific Property Awards Summit (APPAS) and the ‘Best Property Consultant’ award from the International Finance Magazine (IFM) Awards. We are hopeful that we will bring back metal at the International Achievement Forum in March 2016. Our awards tally is one of the barometers on which we value our success. Our performance in the area last year is a key indicator of the quality of our offering and the dedication of every Blue Mountain employee’.
