Verdant Villas in a mission to enable homes
View(s):For most aspiring home owners, the move into the city might make for better living conditions or it might make for more challenging conditions.
Research by certain builders show that more and more younger and growing families, or those looking for affordable housing opportunities, explore peripheral markets for affordable housing opportunities. This research also shows that as home prices and the cost of living continue to increase in Colombo, there will be more demand for affordable housing which is often found in farther out suburbs and towns. This is the opportunity that Kelsey Homes has done with their latest project, Verdant Villa in Negombo.
Spanning across 26 acres of verdant land, the high-end gated community offers over 85, 40-perch plots, each of which presents a one-of-a-kind investment and residential opportunity. Each home at Verdant Villas is designed to offer you all the luxury and comfort of a modern home as well as the charm and serenity of a getaway.
“The 40-perch plots at Verdant Villas are ideal for those who value calm seclusion and ample space. Extending across the quarter of an acre, the upmarket sites at Verdant Villas are aimed at those who want to purchase a home or secure a plot of land in one of Negombo’s most prominent residential areas as an investment,” a company official told the Business Times.
Verdant Villas has an abundance of space and stretches of green gardens, the exclusive neighbourhood is ideal for both children and adults to reconnect with nature and enjoy outdoor activities, he said. “It really depends on what you value in your life. Some people value more personal space. Others value greater access to cultural events. Some people like more opportunities to explore nature. Others want more immediate access to services. Some value having lots of people around, while others like to have plenty of space,” he opined. He added that in Colombo a mere 10 perches cost Rs. 100 million or more. “While owning an apartment in Colombo is largely to do with a certain lifestyle, not all want it or can ‘afford’ it.”
He noted the company is trying to stay in its core competency which is housing while delivering it at an affordable price. Verdant Villas is located in close proximity to several local and international schools, places of worship, hospitals, banks, restaurants, supermarkets, the Bandaranaike International Airport as well as the Negombo town and beach. The gated community is also situated just 10 minutes away from the Colombo – Katunayake Expressway and just 30 minutes away from Colombo itself. This is situated 10 minutes away from the highway and the accessibility to Colombo takes 40 minutes, the official said.
He said Negombo adds to the distinct charm of Verdant Villas, giving homeowners the perfect balance between a tranquil holiday experience and a holistic home environment.
