Havelock City is a large mixed-use real-estate project in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The residential component of the project consists of eight residential towers and the commercial component of the project consists of a 46-storey office tower and shopping mall built to international standards. It is popular for its clubhouse, 2.8 ha (7 acres) garden, and the overall size of the project. The first four residential towers, namely Park Tower and Elibank Tower (of construction Phase-1), and Layards Tower and Davidson Tower (of construction Phase-2), were completed as at early 2017 with 22 floors each, and is currently occupied by residents. Phase-3 is currently under construction, and will consist of the Stratford Tower and Melford Tower, with 28 floors each. Piling for Phase-4 was done with Phase-3 to expedite development. Both phases is estimated to cost over US$130 million. At a cost of US$166 million, the 46-storey commercial skyscraper will have 600,000 ft2 (56, 000 m2) of office space and 200,000 ft2 (19, 000 m2) for the shopping mall. The ground-breaking ceremony for the commercial component was ceremonially conducted on 29 December 2016 with the auspices of S. P. Tao, the chairman of Overseas Realty, along with other dignitaries such as ministers Mangala Samaraweera and Champika Ranawaka.
