The concept was envisioned by former president Mahinda Rajapaksa to transform the Harbour into a new financial district. The new district plan featured  grade A offices, medical and educational facilities, an integrated resort, a marina, retail shops, hotels and other lifestyle-enhancing amenities. Two office towers atop tapered pedestals provide wide public plazas at their feet. “People-centric” and “smart and sustainable” were two of Nikken Sekkei’s six key objectives, the landscape for which aspires to respect the rich natural environment with lush greenery and tangible water features.
