Interview with Rajitha Jayasuriya of Fairway Holdings

As the island economy continues to progress along the road to recovery, the real estate sector
is gathering momentum in terms of its contribution to the construction sector as well as the
economy as a whole. Several new developments are leading the way from the supply-side of
the market. Today, we have the distinct pleasure of speaking with the head of one such
development from a leading brand in the industry, Mrs. Rajitha Jayasuriya, Chief Growth Officer
from Fairway Holdings.

The island economy appears to have successfully steered away from a period of
economic turbulence and entered a period of stability. As a business leader, how do you
see the economy progressing in the next few years ?

Sri Lanka has indeed moved past a turbulent period and is now entering a phase of stability.
Over the next few years, I see the economy progressing with steady growth driven by reforms,
renewed investor confidence, and the resilience of our private sector. Tourism, one of our key
economic pillars, has also shown strong signs of recovery with rising arrivals and renewed
global interest, further strengthening overall economic momentum. While challenges remain, particularly in global market volatility, the fundamentals are improving, and this creates opportunities for long-term investments.

Colombo 05 has hit the headlines for being a top apartment investment destination
according to the latest data from the Research Intelligence Uni (RIUNIT). Can you share
some information on your upcoming project in Kirulapone ?

Location, location, location! In the real estate market, location is everything. Colombo 5 is a
vibrant, centrally located suburb with excellent connectivity to Colombo’s commercial hubs.
Our upcoming project is designed to capture the essence of urban convenience while maintaining a sense of community and green living. In keeping with Fairway’s longstanding reputation for exceptional standards, this development will prioritize practical, day-to-day living with thoughtfully designed layouts, high-quality finishes, and reliable engineering. It will be a mid-to-high-end project catering to both local professionals and overseas investors, continuing the legacy of quality that Fairway has upheld over the years. Construction has commenced, with six floors successfully completed. This visible progress
provides buyers with greater confidence and clarity.

What features and amenities can people expect to see at this new development ?

In this new development, residents can expect:
● Smart home technology enabled for modern living
● Practical amenities such as a gymnasium, roof top infinity pool, and a function hall
● Sustainable design with energy-efficient systems and rain water recycling
● Green spaces including a rooftop garden

Sri Lanka is gaining more attention as a real estate investment destination amongst the diaspora. Is this an important market for your project?
The Sri Lankan diaspora has always been a very important market for the real estate sector, as
many people eventually return to their roots. It is definitely an increasingly important market for
us. Many overseas Sri Lankans are looking to reconnect with their roots while making sound real
estate investments. Our projects are tailored to meet their expectations in terms of quality,
transparency, and practical standard amenities.

What payment facilities are available for both local and overseas buyers?

We offer flexible payment options to make ownership accessible:
● Installment plans spread across the construction timeline and phases
● Bank financing with leading local and international banks
● Foreign remittance facilities for overseas buyers
● Special early bird discounts for clients who make bulk or upfront payments
Buyers who enter during the construction phase benefit from strongest value growth. At Fairway
Latitude, prices will show more than 15% annual appreciation during the construction period,
making this an attractive entry point for investors at this stage.

Fairway Residencies is respected as one of the trailblazing pioneers as an apartment
developer in Sri Lanka, who does this brand move forward with this legacy? Do you
have more projects planned for the future ?

Fairway Holdings has always been a pioneer in vertical luxury living, redefining apartment living
in Sri Lanka. As the first to introduce vertical living in Rajagiriya, we transformed the skyline and
set a new benchmark for modern urban lifestyles.We continue to innovate in sustainability, design, and customer experience. Yes, we do have more projects planned both in Colombo and emerging suburban markets, because we believe the demand for quality urban housing will only grow.

Our loyal clientele can always look forward to “Fairway Quality Homes” to live a proud lifestyle.

In a word, what is your single most positive and negative thing in the world today ?

Positive: Resilience
Negative: Division
