Handing over of apartments begin with completion of Oceanfront Condominiums
Oceanfront Condominiums in Galle developed by International Construction Consortium Pvt Ltd (ICC) has reached completion despite the Covid-19 challenges, which slowed down economic activities in the country.
ICC maintained steady momentum in the construction process of the complex, and the handing over of condominiums to buyers took place last week. Oceanfront Condominiums Galle stands out as a distinctive project in the portfolio of ICC due to the smart construction technology and unique 16th century Dutch architecture.
The property features a heritage building comprising a double floored spa and a fully-equipped gym with a secluded courtyard, swimming pool with the sea view via the majestic Dutch arch.
The complex, which drew inspiration from the Galle Fortress, consists of 101 apartment units spread across 15 floors. Understanding and delivering the beachfront concept to the fullest, it borders the beautiful ocean of the southern Galle coast. Being the contractor plus developer, ICC has tastefully conceptualized the main building of OFC to be constructed on a single pane, allowing all apartments to have a scenic view of the open sea.
Allowing to reap the benefits of stress-free returns at the homeowners discretion, ICC has introduced an all-inclusive rental management system where renting out and the property management will be done by ICC, while offering an end-to-end solution including promotions, guest screening, check-in/checkout and payments processing.
An experienced team is available on the property itself to assist under the supervision of the condominium management. A skillful chef and his kitchen brigade offer a range of delicious cuisines at the ‘Sunset Café’ and the restaurant is exclusively designed for all homeowners. Giving an additional benefit to their investors by kick-starting rental management with the handing over of the condominiums, ICC affirms a safe and secure investment for their clients.
As a longstanding entity, the award winning construction giant holds the highest ranking by the Construction Industry Development Authority of Sri Lanka (CIDA), which further adds value to all investments.
