Mireka Tower inaugurated

Strategically located in the heart of the capital, lauded as Colombo’s most distinctive office space of the future, the Mireka Tower at Havelock City was ceremoniously opened President Ranil Wickremesinghe on Thursday (20).Comprising 50 storeys with 600,000 sq.ft. Grade A premium Office Space, the Mireka Tower offers an expansive, column-free setting with cityscape views, already feted as another iconic commercial complex transforming the skyline of Colombo.

Built to international standards, the Mireka Tower is the dominant focal point of the premier Havelock City, an 18-acre mixed-use development project. The mega scale ‘City within a City’ concept was the brainchild of visionary entrepreneur and property tycoon the late S. P. Tao, Founder of the Singapore based Shing Kwan Group, and former Chairman of Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC. Through the Havelock City mixed development project, he sought to inject a unique, cosmopolitan urbanization of the city, emblemizing change in Sri Lanka’s capital.

In 2016, during Tao’s last visit to the country, which also coincided with his centenary celebrations, he participated in the inauguration and ground-breaking ceremony of the Mireka Tower. Subsequently, the topping out of the 50-storey Tower took place in 2020. Adding a remarkable architectural presence to the city, the Mireka Tower visually anchoring Havelock City is now officially ready to welcome discerning clients.

Group Director/CEO Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC Pravir Samarasinghe said: “Today, we are proud to officially open Mireka Tower, delivering a combination of flexible physical spaces, and service-driven amenities guided by the highest standards of workplace design. The opening of the Tower embodies Overseas Realty’s years of dedication in reimagining office workspaces bringing together a plethora of learnings and experiences to provide the best of design, best of built quality, best of facilities and services. During pre-leasing we generated high interest, and I am extremely confident, our portfolio of clients will comprise dynamic companies seeking inspiring and modern workspaces.”

Mireka Tower is developed by Havelock City (Pvt) Ltd, a fully owned subsidiary of Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC, the owner, manager, and developer of the World Trade Center Colombo. The completion of the Tower demonstrates Overseas Realty’s extensive knowledge and expertise as it continues to dominate the local office market.
