Wills Realtors (Pvt) Ltd has officially commenced construction of its 96 Legends Square luxury residential development with a ceremonial piling event held at Denzil Kobbekaduwa Mawatha in Battaramulla.
Inspired by Sri Lanka’s historic 1996 Cricket World Cup triumph, the 46-storey residential tower is designed as a tribute to the team that brought home the country’s first ODI World Cup.
Members of the 1996 World Cup-winning team, led by former captain Arjuna Ranatunga, attended the ceremony alongside representatives of Wills Realtors, project consultants, piling partner Nawaloka Piling, construction partner Adithya Lanka (Pvt) Ltd and other invitees.
In a symbolic link to the project’s identity, the tower will be supported by 96 piles, representing Sri Lanka’s 1996 World Cup victory.
The cricketing theme will also extend throughout the building, with each exclusive residential floor to be named after a member of the 1996 World Cup-winning team.
The development will feature a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom residences as well as exclusive penthouses.
Planned amenities include a swimming pool, kids’ pool, gymnasium, rooftop jogging track, banquet hall, clubhouse, coffee shop, supermarket, children’s play area and reception and concierge services.
Project representatives said the commencement of piling marks the transition of 96 Legends Square from its planning stage to physical construction.
Wills Realtors said the project aims to combine luxury urban living with the legacy of one of Sri Lanka’s most celebrated sporting achievements, creating a distinctive residential landmark in Battaramulla. (Newswire)
