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.
