Oceanfront Galle structure constructions have been completed on time, amidst the restrictions imposed by the authorities to contain COVID 19 pandemic. Nevertheless, ICC has taken initiatives to apply for COC in the beginning of June 2021.

The home owners and potential investors were invited to inspect on the construction progress of Oceanfront condominiums in Galle while experiencing the beautiful sunset by the Galle coast. ICC has conceptualized OFC Galle to have a view of the clear ocean from all possible angles featuring a fully equipped gym, a double floored spa and “Sunset” restaurant with beautiful views of the ocean.
