John Keells Properties achieves Rs.4.2bn sales for Viman Ja-Ela before commencing construction

The Viman Ja-Ela apartments have generated over Rs.4.2 billion in sales, prior to the start of construction on August 26, 2024. 

Viman Ja-Ela is not just another residential project; it’s a unique concept in suburban living, designed to harmonise modern conveniences with the serenity of nature. Spanning six acres, with 65 percent of the land dedicated to open spaces and amenities, Viman Ja-Ela offers more than just apartments. With over 15 thoughtfully designed amenities—including meditation courts, a kids’ play area, outdoor sports courts and cycling/walking paths—the project aims to create a holistic living experience. 

Reflecting on the success of the project, John Keells Properties Sector Head and John Keells Group Executive Vice President Inoke Perera said, “This project represents John Keells Properties’ first venture into the suburban residential market, aligning perfectly with our vision of ‘Creating New Worlds’. Viman Ja-Ela is designed to offer not just homes but a lifestyle where harmony with nature, eco-conscious living and community values thrive. It is a sanctuary that blends modern conveniences with the peace and balance we all crave.”

Since its highly anticipated launch in September 2023, Viman Ja-Ela has quickly captured the attention of discerning homebuyers and investors alike. With an outstanding 75 percent of units sold across the first two phases, the development continues to set a new benchmark for suburban living. This overwhelming demand speaks to the project’s strength and the trust in John Keells Properties. 

John Keells Properties Head of Sales and Marketing and John Keells Group Vice President Nadeem Shums added, “The unprecedented response, especially with Rs.4.2 billion in sales before construction, underscores the strength of the Viman Ja-Ela project. We’re proud to embark on a development that combines sustainability, accessibility and a strong sense of community. This is a place where families and individuals can truly thrive.”
Sustainability is at the core of Viman Ja-Ela, reflecting John Keells Properties’ commitment to eco-friendly living. Solar-powered homes, EV charging stations and abundant green spaces highlight the project’s focus on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Its strategic location offers easy access to key amenities such as supermarkets, schools, hospitals and the highway, including the Colombo Port access road, making Viman Ja-Ela the perfect blend of suburban charm and urban connectivity.

With over 75 percent of apartments in phases one and two of Viman Ja-Ela already secured, this is an exciting time to explore what this unique community has to offer. A limited number of units remain available, providing an opportunity to experience the harmonious blend of modern living and nature that Viman Ja-Ela promises.
