Na Nadeem Shums, He Head of Mark rket De Development then presented John Keells Properties newest housing project - TRI-ZEN. John Keells Properties’ latest project focuses on metropolitan spaces that cater to the needs of Colombo’s growing class of working elite. From Union Place, TRI-ZEN’s residents will have immediate access to the city’s best hospitals, restaurants, schools, hotels, shopping malls and more. Moreover, its central location takes hours spent in traffic out of the equation-which means residents can luxuriate in the extra time freed up every day to spend time with family and friends. TRI-ZEN’s apartments are based on smart design principles to maximize space and comfort, and this efficient design allows these apartments to be affordably priced. Common open spaces are a key design feature throughout the property; the perfect spaces for conversation, relaxation and

• contemplation. This green urban escape is designed for both solitude and company- stay in on a

Sunday and enjoy the city’s drowsy reverie or go out on a Friday night to one of the many cafes, bistros and restaurants situated only minutes away. John Keells Holdings PLC is Sri Lanka’s largest listed conglomerate in the Colombo Stock
