The Orion Towers will be constructed with an investment of US $ 70 million to add 1 million square feet to the Orion IT Park in Dematagoda. It is due to be completed within three years.

The first phase is expected to be completed in 2017.

Having introduced Sri Lanka’s first IT Park in 2009, Orion Development, this state-of-the-art, environment-friendly, three-phase development in the heart of Colombo, will have three towers at a formidable height of 110 metres will rise above the Colombo skyline, redefining the norms for IT infrastructure in Sri Lanka.

At Orion Towers, users will have access to gymnasiums, retail malls, dining options, and hospitality services, which will merge to become a micro-city catering to their every need.

A boutique hotel and green eco-decks will also occupy the approximately 350,000 square feet of rentable area in the 22-floor building.
