SilverNeedle Hospitality and ABANS Group have
appointed internationally-renowned architect, Aedas, to lead the
design for their mixed-use lifestyle development, Colombo City
Centre.
Among Aedas' global projects are the North
Star Mixed Used Development in Beijing and the Express Rail Link
West Kowloon Terminus in Hong Kong.
Iqbal Jumabhoy, Managing Director and Group CEO,
SilverNeedle Hospitality said, "As this is our first joint venture
development in Asia, it was crucial that we selected a high calibre
architect who understood our desire for creating an inviting and
engaging iconic landmark that meets the professional and leisure
accommodation needs of the business traveller and enhances the
Colombo lifestyle. Aedas' ethos is consistent with this vision."
Aedas will undertake full architectural and
design services for the development that will include a 200-room
Next Hotel, a lifestyle mall and a high-rise condominium tower.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2016.
