The Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), a Global 500 company with its subsidiary company, AVIC International Hotels Lanka Limited had recently produced a progress update with regards to the upcoming formative construction project of the AVIC Astoria in Colombo 03. The AVIC Astoria, which is due to be unveiled to the public before the end of 2017, is set to be a high-rise building will comprise of 4 towers totalling 608 apartments.
A focal and much anticipated feature of the upcoming Astoria will not only be the enormity of the project being constructed in a central location with close proximity to the city and all other influential landmarks of Colombo being close by but also the amazing view being that of the sea as well as the surrounding area of the city limits itself.
Another major attribute about AVIC’s involvement with the construction phase of the Astoria is the swift implementation of the build-up by the labour force as well as the use of state-of-the-art and leading edge technology from China. The use of aluminium formwork has been much talked about and is known to be the first time this is being incorporated into a construction project in Sri Lanka.
