2011
A difficult beginning, accepted
Ratnayake-led management assumed control of the partially completed Trillium Residencies development in Colombo 8 and the commitments attached to it.
Our story
We inherited a promise,and built a group around keeping it.
The modern Trillium story did not begin with a blank site. It began with a difficult project, obligations to honour and homes that still needed to be delivered.
The defining chapter
Colombo 8 established what the name would stand for.
In 2011, new leadership took responsibility for the partially completed Trillium Residencies development. The team completed the final Sunset Wing, sold inherited inventory in the completed wings, fulfilled purchaser commitments and settled the project’s obligations. That record of delivery became the foundation for everything that followed.

From one development
to three engines.
