High-rise living in Colombo is nothing new, but a diagrid structure that immediately commands attention on the skyline is. Developed on a prime two-acre property and designed by the celebrated architect Moshe Safdie, The Altair Colombo has carved out its own niche in the real estate market.

Altair stands as a beacon of design innovation, boasting two towering blocks—one soaring 63 stories and the other reaching a striking 68 stories. This iconic marvel spans 1.3 million sq ft and is revered as the tallest residential building in the region, coveted by the elite.

The innovative design of Altair ensures not only aesthetic appeal but also structural superiority. Its unique diagrid design, featuring steel and triangular structures, integrates gravity and lateral support, eliminating the need for bulky corner columns and facilitating superior load distribution. This design also maximises natural light and offers column-free interiors, enhancing flexibility and creating an inviting ambiance.

Strategically located at Sir James Peiris Mawatha, Colombo 2, Altair offers residents breathtaking views of the ocean, Beira Lake, the Port, and the city. The towers are thoughtfully oriented to optimise sunlight and wind infiltration, harnessing Colombo's tropical climate to its fullest potential with cross-ventilation in every residential unit.

Altair also boasts an array of luxurious amenities, including four swimming pools catering to different preferences, a well-equipped games room, a state-of-the-art gym, a jogging track, lush green spaces, and 11 high-speed elevators for convenience. In addition, Altair incorporates eco-conscious features such as rainwater harvesting and energy conservation, aligning with modern sustainability standards.

But it doesn’t stop there. Altair features over 35,000 sq ft of high-end retail space, offering al fresco dining along a tree-lined promenade overlooking Beira Lake and boutique shops from international brands, completing its allure as a premier destination.

Experience luxury living redefined at Altair, where architectural brilliance meets contemporary comfort, setting a new standard in upscale urban living.
