Titled ‘4th Jubilation’ to denote an exuberant four years, CCC’s fourth-anniversary celebration will put in perspective many of its milestones. “Our initial vision for the mall was to develop it as a space where Sri Lankan families could enjoy quality time together. With the mix of high-end local and international brands, a variety of food and beverage options, a plethora of entertainment for kids and young adults and 6-screen Cineplex, we have been able to achieve just that, offering Sri Lanka its first ever international mall,” said Aban Pestonjee, Chairperson, Abans Group.
In another unprecedented milestone, CCC will collaborate with top international hotel brand Marriott Hotels, which will hold favourable prospects for patrons and homeowners alike. The soon-to-open ‘The Courtyard by Marriott’, in addition to a star-class dining experience, will offer entertainment and co-working spaces for business owners. The Colombo City Centre Management invites all patrons to visit the mall over the upcoming anniversary weekend and enjoy quality family time and avail themselves of the anniversary specials offered by the retailers.
