Home Lands and Mahela Jayawardene team up to make Sri Lanka next global real estate destination through strategic partnership
The appointment of Jayawardene as Brand Ambassador for Home Lands Group comes ahead of the highly anticipated Grand Launch Weekend of Central Park Boulevard Port City Colombo, scheduled to take place from June 12 to 14 at Cinnamon Life Colombo. The project is being positioned as the largest real estate launch ever undertaken in Sri Lanka and is expected to attract significant attention from investors, homebuyers, and industry stakeholders.
The collaboration brings together two brands that have built strong reputations on excellence, credibility, innovation, and long-term achievement. Home Lands believes the partnership reflects a shared vision of elevating Sri Lanka’s profile on the global stage while showcasing the growing potential of the country’s property sector.
Jayawardene is widely regarded as one of Sri Lanka’s most respected sporting personalities. Over a distinguished international cricket career spanning nearly two decades, he established himself as one of the world’s leading batsmen and a leader admired for his professionalism, discipline, and strategic thinking.
The former Sri Lanka captain achieved numerous milestones throughout his career, including becoming one of the few players in cricket history to score more than 10,000 runs in both Test and One Day International cricket. He also led Sri Lanka to the ICC Cricket World Cup final in 2007 and played a key role in several memorable achievements, including the nation’s ICC T20 World Cup victory in 2014.
Home Lands executives believe these qualities align closely with the company’s own aspirations as it seeks to expand the visibility and appeal of Sri Lankan real estate among local and international investors. The company has increasingly positioned itself as a developer focused on innovation, large-scale projects, and long-term value creation.
Speaking on the partnership, Jayawardene said he was honored to join Home Lands Group, describing the company as Sri Lanka’s most trusted and innovative property developer. He noted that the organization’s commitment to trust, innovation, and excellence resonated strongly with his own professional values.
The partnership arrives at a time when Sri Lanka’s property market is seeking greater international visibility and investor confidence. Industry observers note that high-profile collaborations can help strengthen brand recognition while also promoting the broader investment opportunities available within the country.
A key focus of the partnership is the upcoming Central Park Boulevard development within Port City Colombo, one of Sri Lanka’s most ambitious urban development initiatives. The project is expected to play a significant role in attracting both local and foreign investment into the country’s real estate sector while contributing to Colombo’s transformation into a modern regional business and residential hub.
The association between Home Lands and Jayawardene is also expected to support broader efforts to position Sri Lankan real estate as a competitive investment destination in South Asia. As infrastructure development accelerates and new projects emerge across the country, developers are increasingly seeking innovative ways to engage investors and showcase opportunities within the market.
Home Lands Chairman Nalin Herath described Jayawardene as one of Sri Lanka’s most respected global ambassadors whose achievements and leadership have earned admiration far beyond the sporting arena. According to Herath, it is this legacy of excellence and international recognition that makes the former cricketer a natural fit for the company’s future ambitions.
He added that Home Lands remains committed to elevating the profile of Sri Lankan real estate internationally and believes the partnership will contribute to strengthening confidence in the sector. The company views the collaboration as more than a marketing initiative, seeing it instead as a long-term alignment built on shared values and a common vision for growth.
As Home Lands and Mahela Jayawardene team up to make Sri Lanka next global real estate destination, the partnership reflects growing confidence in the country’s development potential. With major projects such as Port City Colombo gaining momentum and increasing interest from investors, industry leaders see opportunities to position Sri Lanka as an emerging destination for world-class real estate investment.
The collaboration marks a significant milestone for both Home Lands and Jayawardene, bringing together a trusted national brand and one of the country’s most celebrated personalities in a bid to showcase Sri Lanka’s property sector to a global audience.
