Prime Melwa Port City (Pvt) Ltd signed the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with CHEC Port City Colombo (Pvt) Limited on 12^th May 2026 marking a historic milestone in the realization of one of the most prestigious upcoming marina and waterfront developments at Port City Colombo.

Positioned as the only remaining marina and waterfront residential development within Port City Colombo, the project is set to deliver an extraordinary lifestyle experience unlike anything the region has witnessed before. Overlooking the iconic marina and the Indian Ocean, the development has been envisioned as an architectural masterpiece that will redefine luxury waterfront living in South Asia through iconic design, breathtaking views, world class amenities, and unparalleled exclusivity.

Set within one of the world’s most ambitious and globally significant urban transformation initiatives, the project is poised to become a defining landmark in Colombo’s evolving skyline and a symbol of Sri Lanka’s emergence as a globally competitive luxury real estate destination.

This landmark collaboration brings together two of Sri Lanka’s most influential corporate entities, Prime Group and Melwa, combining decades of market leadership, strategic foresight, and proven excellence to create a truly world class marina front destination.

More than a premium real estate venture, the project represents a bold statement of confidence in Sri Lanka’s future and the growing international significance of Port City Colombo as an emerging business, lifestyle, and investment hub. It further demonstrates the commitment of leading Sri Lankan corporates to invest in transformative developments that create long term economic value, attract foreign investment, and strengthen global investor confidence in the country.

As one of the final marina front development opportunities within Port City Colombo, the land parcel carries exceptional strategic importance and long term investment value. Located within Sri Lanka’s first foreign currency designated Special Economic Zone, the project is expected to attract international investors, expatriates, and high net worth buyers seeking a globally benchmarked waterfront lifestyle and a secure investment opportunity in one of Asia’s most promising emerging destinations.

With this historic partnership, Prime Lands and Melwa are not merely developing another luxury project; they are shaping an iconic global address that symbolizes ambition, innovation, and Sri Lanka’s bold rise onto the world stage.

Sri Lanka may give the world another refreshing beverage. Made of an original recipe, it’s brewed from some of the country’s most iconic spices, that could, in time, match the country’s best-known export, tea, thanks to the vision of the enterprising young marketing professional, Sohan Jayasena and his company mild earth

‘Wild Mist Water’ unveiled at an appropriately styled ‘quiet reveal’ in Colombo 7 a few weeks back is, in its creator Sohan Jayasena’s words, “a luxury wellness experience inspired by Sri Lanka’s botanical heritage.”

Available initially in four variants, the Wild Mist Water mixes come in canisters, and their contents must be brewed just as tea is, with each canister containing a thoughtfully curated mix of local spices that have been associated for generations with physical and mental wellbeing.

The spices that go into the mix are drawn entirely from Sri Lanka’s botanical repertoire, with each blend combining coriander seeds with carefully balanced accents of nigella, cloves, cinnamon, rosemary and lemongrass. The result is a subtle, refined infusion designed not to overwhelm the palate, but to offer a calming aroma, a smooth mouthfeel and a sense of grounding that unfolds slowly with each sip, giving its patrons a time to pause a moment of calm that is much needed in a world that never pauses or stops.

At the heart of the brand is its founder’s belief that Sri Lanka’s wellness heritage does not need exaggeration or nostalgia to be relevant to modern life, only thoughtful reinterpretation.

Araliya Group of Companies has further strengthened its logistics and transportation capabilities with the acquisition of 10 brand-new TATA LPK 1618 trucks from Diesel & Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO), one of Sri Lanka’s leading automobile distributors.

This strategic investment expands the Group’s existing fleet to over 200 vehicles, reinforcing its ability to support large-scale operations across multiple sectors. The newly added trucks are expected to enhance efficiency, reliability, and operational capacity within Araliya’s supply chain and distribution network.

DIMO’s comprehensive after-sales service, technical expertise, and long-standing reputation for quality were key factors behind the Group’s decision. The collaboration highlights Araliya Group’s continued commitment to operational excellence and sustainable growth, while reaffirming DIMO’s position as a trusted partner for large-scale commercial transport solutions in Sri Lanka.
