Prime Group, Sri Lanka’s pioneering real estate company, has launched the latest addition to its chain of signature villas – Clover in Thalawathugoda.

Several existing customers as well as potential customers visited the newly launched luxury property to experience the signature of excellence at Clover. The dynamic Prime Team assisted and guided every single visitor with financial, legal, technical and general queries and requirements at the event.
Speaking at the occasion, Co-Chairperson of Prime Group Sandamini Perera stated: “Prime Group always looks for the best locations. Clover is not just another housing project, but a venture with modern architectural language. The surreal designs, layouts, colours and specifications of the interior and exterior have all been designed by our experienced, talented and highly-qualified group of professionals. We’re extremely happy – not that we’ve sold over 50% of the project at the launch alone – but of the fact that this place will add new meaning to your life and give you the comfort that you deserve.”
Clover by Prime Signature Villas comprises 54 signature villas – each ranging between 3238 sq.ft. and 4385 sq.ft. – that are spaciously designed in 16 different types, truly representing the epitome of ingenuity. Cocooned in a tranquil 4.5-acre expansive land in Thalawathugoda, Clover villas offer its residents exclusive living enhanced with premium grade amenities such as timber flooring, air-conditioned bedrooms, bathrooms with European-standard fittings, fully-fitted pantries, hot water connections via solar panels, spacious rooftop terraces, and backyards that serve as an oasis for relaxation.
The common facilities include a safe gated community with 24-hour security, an exquisite open lobby that serves as a cosy retreat lounge, a plunge pool with a timber deck, a fully equipped air-conditioned gymnasium, and a serene yoga deck set amidst manicured lawns and lush waterways – all of which make living at Clover aesthetic and indulgent.
