One of the leading shopping malls in the world, the Mustafa Shopping Centre in Singapore will be investing in a mixed development project at Kotahena area at a cost of US $ 115 million. The mixed development project will begin next year and the construction will be completed in two years.

Mustafa Centre, also known as Mustafa Singapore is one of the biggest shopping centres in Asia and its presence in Sri Lanka would be a major plus point to woo more foreign investors.

A large number of people from all over the country have visited Singapore only for shopping at the Mustafa Shopping Complex and in the future this scenario is likely to be repeated in Sri Lanka, a BOI official said. One of the biggest plus points of Mustafa is that it is open 24 hours.

The mixed development project includes a 975 room star class hotel, 400 service apartments and a 1000 vehicle car park, with a total floor area of 142,125 square meters.

A public restaurant too would be opened under this project.

“Sri Lanka has emerged as a major tourist destination and this was one of the main reasons for us to invest in Sri Lanka”, Mustafa Shopping Centre founder chairman Mustaq Ahamad said.

Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa said with this type of investment traditional and cottage industries will benefit.

The government has offered special incentives for the tourism industry from the budget.

The Board of Investment chairman and director general M.M.C Ferdinando and founder chairman of Mustafa’s PTE Ltd Mustaq Ahamed signed an agreement to construct this hotel and shopping complex in Sri Lanka. Both locals and foreigners would be the target market of the Mustafa’s Hotel and Shopping Complex.

Mustafa offers many services such as foreign exchange, VISA processing, travels booking, Gold Mart and all kinds of shopping items available under one roof. The BoI also has secured US $ 413 million in the first six months of this year which is as 98 percent increase.

This included 92 projects. The target for 2011 was US $ one billion.http://www.dailynews.lk/2011/12/13/bus01.asp

If i am not mistaken the project will be on the land next to CTC on 155 145 or 173 Bus route so i feel it will fall in the Colombo - 15 area and not in the Colombo - 13 area

Kotahena ?

It is very unusual they choose a place like Kotahena for this.

Normally we go to that area and to Panchikawatta, wala to buy spare parts , hardware and machinery. You can see densely crowded small houses and various kinds of sub cultures if you walk inside to the living areas..
Congested traffic is always there because of the business ventures and North Ceylon travel routes and harbour vehicles (containers) are also going there.

We know most of the Singapore was worst than that in 1960s and they changed it to a modern city.

But in Colombo we already have better places for this kind of development. .

This is very encouraging. Mohamed Musthapa is world famous Department Store in Singapore. Their presence in Colombo would attract more South Asian tourists to the city for shopping increasing foreign exchage income and creating more oppounities for tourist related businesses. Further they will serve the common ppl by providing wider range of products to suit to middle income consumers.

It is good to promote colombo as a leading shopping center in Asia. (But a lot has to do incuding improving city transport both trains and bus service,quality of the food in eating house and hotels ,good taxi service, car parks etc)

Very good point, but the question is "Are we ready to spend billions on infrastructure?"

I also have the same question. Why Kotahena for this type of a project? May be they found a bare land for quite cheap price? But still.............. Rolling Eyes

I think Kotahena is the most congested area in Sri Lanka excluding inside buses and trains in the mornings and evenings on working days.
