Astoria to open next year
The condominium development site at R. A. de Mel Mawatha will be open to
residents as Astoria in 2017. Overlooking the Indian Ocean, Astoria consists of
4 towers and 608 luxury apartments.
The development project is the first foray of AVIC International Hotels Lanka
Limited, a subsidiary of Chinese mega incorporation Aviation Industry
Corporation of China (AVIC), in the Sri Lankan real estate sector. Astoria’s
relationship with AVIC has ensured the project is conducted in compliance with
international standards and regulations, fueled with overseas experience and
cutting edge technology employed by AVIC.
The project has two unique aspects that will ensure maximum efficiency. The
first, the Aluminum System Formwork, which consists of aluminum sections, plate
sheathing and prop head combined with supporting aluminum cross beams and
adjustable steel props.
The system can be assembled fast and is easily removed, reducing construction
time and cost. The aluminum alloy formwork can also be used 300 times, unlike
its wooden counterpart which can be used only once, making the system more
environment friendly and ensures there is no waste at the site. |
