Key themes will include minimizing the risk of buying apartments, and financing options for commercial real estate.

Hugh van der Kolff, Managing Director of Lamudi Sri Lanka, commented: “Last year’s conference was the first of its kind in Sri Lanka and it was a huge success. We welcomed more than 140 real estate professionals, who came together to share knowledge of the local real estate market, and to discuss how the property industry is growing in the emerging markets.

Such an event brings professionals together to educate each other and raise awareness of any industry changes, both positive and negative. This allows us to move forward with precaution. For us, it is important to share this knowledge with stakeholders.”

The event’s main sponsor is leading international developer, Shangri-La, with Prime Lands Group confirmed as a consecutive sponsor. Additional sponsors include: JAT Holdings, Sandal Lands, Real Properties 4 U, Orix Marketing and LMD, who will be supporting the event which aims to share knowledge among real estate professionals.
