Belluna Co. Japan Director Hiroshi Yasuno

Japanese multinational Belluna Co. Ltd. is celebrating a decade of sustained investment in Sri Lanka, reaffirming its dedication to long-term economic growth and development in the South Asian region. Operating through its local arm, Belluna Lanka, the company has invested over $200 million regionally — the majority of which has been channeled into high-impact projects across Sri Lanka.

Now operating independently within the country, Belluna Lanka is positioned as Belluna Co. Ltd.’s strategic South Asian base, overseeing ventures that align with the parent company’s global legacy of innovation and financial strength. Listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and boasting over 50 years of global experience, Belluna Co. Ltd. is a recognized leader in real estate, hospitality, and services.

Diverse Portfolio Rooted in Local Vision

All investments made by Belluna Lanka have been fully self-financed from Japan, demonstrating both the company’s robust financial health and its confidence in Sri Lanka’s potential. Belluna’s investments reflect a deep respect for local culture and heritage, with a clear focus on sustainable growth and community enrichment.

Signature hospitality ventures such as Granbell Colombo and Le Grand Galle integrate Japanese minimalism with Sri Lankan craftsmanship, offering unique guest experiences. In the Maldives, The Westin Maldives – managed by Marriott International and completed in 2018 – signals Belluna’s regional ambitions.

In the real estate sector, Belluna’s flagship development 447 Luna Tower, located in the upscale Cinnamon Gardens, exemplifies understated luxury and urban sophistication. The company also holds prime property on D.R. Wijewardene Mawatha in Colombo 3, marked for future development in line with the city’s evolving urban landscape.

Looking Ahead with Purpose

Speaking on the milestone, Hiroshi Yasuno, Director of Belluna Co. Ltd., stated:

“Improving lives through thoughtful, long-term investments has always been central to Belluna’s mission. As our regional anchor, Belluna Lanka continues to uphold this vision—fusing Japanese design values with Sri Lankan creativity, warmth, and innovation. Our commitment goes beyond development; it is about investing with purpose.”

Belluna Lanka emphasized its continued role as a catalyst for investment, innovation, and sustainable progress in Sri Lanka, vowing to build a future where communities and businesses thrive together.
