Groundworth is rewriting the rules of land ownership in Sri Lanka — turning a generational asset into a strategy that can build wealth in years, not decades.

For as long as anyone can remember, Sri Lankans have bought land the way their parents and grandparents did: acquire a plot, hold it for twenty or thirty years, and pass it down.

It is one of the most trusted ways to build wealth on the island. But it has always carried one quiet assumption — that land only rewards those patient enough to wait a lifetime.

Groundworth has decided to challenge that assumption.

The premium land developer is introducing a way of thinking that is new to the local market: land as a mid-term investment.

The idea is simple but disruptive. Instead of buying a plot and forgetting about it for a generation, a Groundworth investor can acquire carefully selected land, watch it appreciate, and turn it around in as little as one to two years — then reinvest the gains and compound their net worth, plot after plot.

It is a bold claim in a country where land has always meant “buy and wait.”

Groundworth backs it with a track record: the company says its developed lands have historically appreciated between 20% and 30% a year, and that several of its clients have already resold the same investment two and three times over, accelerating their wealth each time.

“Land has always been Sri Lanka’s safest asset.

We simply asked a different question — why should it take a lifetime to pay you back? With the right land, in the right place, prepared the right way, it doesn’t have to.” Said Kasun Andrahennadi, Managing Director, Groundworth.

Not All Land Is Equal

What allows Groundworth to make this promise is a refusal to develop ordinary land.

Every plot the company offers must pass a strict, five-point selection standard before it is brought to market:

Clear, clean deeds — ownership you never have to worry about.
A minimum 20-foot access road – proper, permanent access to every plot.
A genuine residential neighbourhood – land surrounded by homes and life, not isolation.
Proximity to amenities – schools, hospitals, towns and conveniences within easy reach.
High appreciation potential – locations positioned to grow in value year on year.

From there, Groundworth does what most land sellers never do – it builds.

The company secures every approval, lays carpeted roads and engineer-approved drainage and develops its plots into secure, gated communities.

In selected projects, it goes further still, designing and constructing homes within the development itself, so a neighbourhood takes shape from day one.

The result is land that is not merely sold, but cultivated and land that appreciates because it deserves to.

Three Ways to Grow

Groundworth recognises that no two buyers want the same thing from land and it builds its guidance around three kinds of investor:

The Value Builder is the mid-term investor — the new breed Groundworth is creating — who buys to turn the land around within a year or two and reinvest the gains.

The Legacy Builder is the traditional long-term investor, securing prime land in a developed area so that its value compounds and the next generation inherits something truly worth having.

The Home Maker buys to build and finds in Groundworth a one-stop partner that designs and builds the house, and handles every approval and tedious process along the way.

Grounds for Growth

That discipline has not gone unnoticed.

Recognised with a PropertyGuru award and positioning itself as Sri Lanka’s number one land investment company, Groundworth is building more than communities — it is building a new standard for what land ownership can mean.

For the investor who once believed land was a slow, single-generation bet, the message is refreshingly direct: your wealth doesn’t have to wait. Whether you are accelerating your net worth, securing your family’s legacy, or finally building the home you’ve pictured for years, Groundworth offers the same firm foundation — grounds for growth.

Sri Lanka’s real estate landscape is shifting and the most compelling opportunities are no longer within Colombo’s congested urban core. Just beyond the city, Polgasowita and Piliyandala have quietly emerged as one of the Western Province’s most sought-after corridors for residential investment.

Here’s why.
1. A location that works on every Level
Polgasowita, Piliyandala sits at a strategic sweet spot, close enough to Colombo to offer everyday convenience yet far enough to deliver the space, greenery and tranquility that city living simply cannot. With direct access to Highlevel Road and Piliyandala Road, the commute is seamless, making this corridor highly attractive to working professionals and families looking to put down roots.
Schools, hospitals, supermarkets and commercial centres are already well-established here – the infrastructure of a complete, liveable community is firmly in place.

2. Rapid development, rising values
Road network expansions, growing commercial activity and a steady rise in quality residential projects have been driving land value appreciation year on year.
Those who invested early have seen strong returns and with demand for well-located residential land continuing to outpace supply, that trajectory shows no signs of slowing. Land is finite and in a neighborhood growing at this pace, timing matters.

3. A community worth being part of
What sets this area apart isn’t just the numbers, it’s the character of the neighbourhood itself. Polgasowita, Piliyandala is increasingly home to aspirational Sri Lankan families seeking quality living environments outside the urban sprawl. It has a settled, peaceful feel while simultaneously embracing growth – a balance that makes it equally compelling as a place to build a home or as a long-term asset to hold.

4. What to Look for When Investing Here
With growing interest in the area, not all land opportunities are created equal. The fundamentals that matter most are straightforward: clear titles, well-maintained road access, plot sizes suited for residential development, and a trusted developer with a track record of transparency.
Groundworth Group’s latest offering in the area – The Infinity at Polgasowita, Piliyandala reflects exactly these qualities. A small, exclusive collection of 19 premium plots starting from 6.35 perches, with 20ft road access, clear titles and approved plans, priced from LKR 1.2 million per perch.

Strong connectivity, a fast-appreciating market, growing residential demand and a neighborhood that genuinely delivers quality of life.

Its suitability for both immediate development and long-term value retention is further enhanced by the neighborhood’s established residential zone.

Just 19 premium land plots make up The Infinity, guaranteeing exclusivity within a well designed layout. Since plot sizes begin at 6.35 perches, they are ideal for compact, modern residential construction.

Homagama continues to experience excellent real estate appreciation and rising demand thanks to extensive urban planning, infrastructural development, and increased economic activity. Legado uses a carefully curated, limited offering that strikes a balance between exclusivity and investment potential to capitalize on this momentum.

Site visits are now open, with only a limited number of plots available.

Sri Lanka’s real estate market has always been driven by one golden rule: location determines value. In recent years, one suburb has consistently stood out among investors, homeowners, and developers alike – Hokandara. Positioned at the edge of Colombo’s urban expansion, Hokandara is rapidly transforming into a high-demand residential hotspot.

If you’re considering real estate investment in Sri Lanka, here’s why investing in Hokandara could be one of the best financial decisions you make, especially with premium developments by Groundworth Group.

Why Hokandara is booming in Sri Lanka’s property market

1. Strategic location with high connectivity

Hokandara sits in a prime corridor connecting major suburban hubs such as Thalawathugoda, Battaramulla, Maharagama and Malabe. This central positioning offers seamless access to:

• Expressway interchanges (Athurugiriya & Kottawa)
• Leading schools and universities
• Hospitals and commercial hubs

Developments like The Estate Hokandara benefit from being just minutes away from key junctions and essential amenities, making them ideal for both living and investing.

2. Rapid urban expansion & infrastructure growth

Hokandara is no longer a “developing suburb”,  it is actively becoming a premium residential zone. With infrastructure upgrades, improved road networks and proximity to Colombo’s administrative capital, land values are rising steadily.

Real estate experts emphasize that areas with strong infrastructure and accessibility tend to deliver the highest capital appreciation, making Hokandara a future-proof investment location.

3. Strong ROI potential for investors

One of the biggest reasons investors are turning to Hokandara is its impressive return potential.

For example:

• The Estate Hokandara offers a projected ROI of up to 37.5% within just two years, highlighting the area’s strong appreciation potential.

This kind of short-to-mid-term return is rare in traditional investments, positioning land investment in Sri Lanka as a powerful wealth-building tool.

4. Ideal balance between city living & tranquility

Hokandara offers something many Colombo locations no longer can – peaceful residential living without sacrificing convenience.

• Quiet, low-density neighborhoods
• Green surroundings and open spaces
• Close proximity to city life

This balance makes it highly attractive for both end-users and rental investors.
