Homebuyers considering a move to suburban living can now experience a completed apartment environment before making a purchasing decision, following the opening of the VIMAN Ja-Ela show apartment by John Keells Properties.
The newly unveiled show apartment allows prospective buyers to explore the actual layout, space utilisation, interior finishes, and construction quality of a VIMAN Ja-Ela residence. Built within the project site, the apartment offers visitors a first-hand view of the living environment planned for future residents.
The initiative comes as developers increasingly focus on providing buyers with a realistic understanding of residential projects before completion.
Designed Around Community Living
Located in Ja-Ela, the VIMAN development spans six acres and has been designed with a strong emphasis on open spaces and community-focused living.
According to John Keells Properties, more than 60% of the land area has been allocated for green and open spaces.
The development includes a range of lifestyle facilities designed to support daily living and social interaction. These include a resident clubhouse, swimming pool, gymnasium, walking and cycling paths, children’s play areas, and outdoor gathering spaces.
The project also features communal areas such as the Ambalama, which has been designed as a shared space where residents can meet and interact.
Strategic Location Near Expressway Access
One of the project’s key advantages is its location.
VIMAN Ja-Ela is situated approximately four kilometres from the Ja-Ela interchange of the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway, providing residents with convenient access to Colombo, the airport, and other commercial centres.
The combination of suburban surroundings and transport connectivity is expected to appeal to professionals, families, and investors seeking residential properties outside the city centre.
John Keells Properties Highlights Buyer Experience
Commenting on the opening, Nadeem Shums, Head of Sales and Marketing and Vice President of John Keells Group, said:
“We’re delighted to open the doors to our show apartment and invite people to experience VIMAN Ja-Ela for themselves. Describing the lifestyle we’ve envisioned here is one thing – but stepping into the space and seeing the design and quality first-hand is something truly special.”
He noted that the show apartment enables potential buyers to better understand the design concept and living experience offered by the development.
Growing Interest in Suburban Housing
The opening of the show apartment comes at a time when demand for planned residential communities continues to grow.
Developers are increasingly focusing on projects that combine accessibility, green spaces, and lifestyle amenities to attract homebuyers seeking alternatives to urban living.
With the show apartment now open, prospective buyers can assess the project’s layout, facilities, and overall living environment before making investment decisions.
