Best Developer Sri Lanka has once again been claimed by Home Lands, as the real estate leader achieved a historic hat-trick at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards 2025, while also securing a rare regional honour for lifestyle development excellence.
Best Developer Sri Lanka honoured again as Home Lands wins top Asia lifestyle award
Home Lands has reinforced its position as Sri Lanka’s most trusted and dominant real estate developer by achieving an unprecedented milestone at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards 2025, held in Bangkok, Thailand, on 12 December 2025. The company was crowned Best Developer, Sri Lanka for the third consecutive year, a distinction that underscores sustained leadership, credibility, and performance within the country’s competitive property market.
Elevating this achievement further, Home Lands was also awarded the prestigious Best Lifestyle Developer, Asia title, marking a significant breakthrough for a Sri Lankan developer on the regional stage. This dual recognition highlights the company’s ability not only to lead domestically but also to compete successfully with established developers from some of Asia’s most mature and demanding real estate markets.
Established in 2005, the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards are widely regarded as the gold standard of excellence in the Asian property sector. Over nearly two decades, the programme has earned a reputation as the most trusted and sought-after awards platform in the region. Its credibility is rooted in a professionally supervised, independent judging process that evaluates developers on design quality, innovation, sustainability, governance, and overall contribution to the built environment.
Beyond the headline developer awards, Home Lands’ portfolio of landmark projects stood out across multiple categories, securing top honours for luxury, completed, waterfront, and lifestyle developments. These accolades reflect the depth and diversity of the company’s project pipeline, as well as its consistent focus on delivering quality across different residential segments and geographies.
Commenting on the historic achievement, Chairman of Home Lands Group, Mr. Nalin Herath, described the recognition as a proud moment not only for the company but for Sri Lanka as a whole. He emphasised that the awards were a reflection of customer trust, long-term vision, and an unwavering commitment to building with innovation and excellence, while elevating Sri Lanka’s standing in the international real estate arena.
Home Lands’ sustained success comes at a time when Sri Lanka’s property sector has faced considerable challenges, including economic uncertainty, evolving buyer expectations, and heightened scrutiny around delivery and quality. Against this backdrop, being named Best Developer Sri Lanka for three consecutive years signals consistency, resilience, and strong institutional capability rather than short-term performance.
The company’s growth trajectory is underpinned by scale and execution strength. To date, Home Lands has delivered over 3,400 residential units, with more than 2,300 additional units currently under construction across eight large-scale, futuristic residential complexes. These developments reflect a strategic shift towards integrated, amenity-rich living environments that cater to changing urban lifestyles.
Rather than focusing solely on housing, Home Lands has positioned itself as a lifestyle-driven developer. Its projects increasingly combine residential spaces with recreational facilities, landscaped environments, wellness features, and community-focused design. This approach aligns with global trends where homebuyers seek long-term value, quality of life, and holistic living experiences.
A defining example of this vision is the Canterbury Golf Resort Apartments & Villas, recognised as Sri Lanka’s largest residential development. Spanning more than 55 acres, the project represents the country’s first Victorian-style golf resort apartments and villas. Featuring a signature day-and-night golf course alongside an extensive range of lifestyle amenities, the development has redefined integrated, resort-style living in Sri Lanka and set new benchmarks for scale and ambition.
Operationally, Home Lands benefits from a fully integrated group structure comprising 13 companies, including a CS2-graded construction arm certified by the Construction Industry Development Authority. This vertical integration enables tighter quality control, cost efficiency, and seamless execution from design through to delivery, factors that are increasingly critical in large-scale residential development.
The company’s growing international footprint, supported by offices in Australia and Dubai, has further strengthened confidence among overseas investors and expatriate Sri Lankans. Regional recognition as Best Lifestyle Developer Asia enhances this credibility, positioning Home Lands as a gateway brand for those seeking exposure to Sri Lanka’s evolving residential property market.
Independent market validation continues to reinforce this leadership position. According to the latest RIU Brand Health Survey 2025, Home Lands remains the undisputed market leader in Sri Lanka’s real estate industry, reflecting strong brand recall, consumer trust, and sustained relevance.
By combining national dominance with regional acclaim, Home Lands has not only reaffirmed its status as Best Developer Sri Lanka but has also demonstrated that Sri Lankan developers can set standards that resonate across Asia. The challenge ahead will be to maintain this momentum while continuing to innovate, deliver responsibly, and shape the future of modern living in the country.
