The latest addition to Sri Lanka’s strikingly beautiful skyline, the Lotus Tower will be known as the tallest tower in South Asia upon its completion by the end of 2017. Here are some interesting facts to keep in mind about this towering architectural marvel.
What is the Lotus Tower
Reaching up to 350 metres, upon completion the Lotus Tower will primarily act as a transmission tower for radio and television. Providing consumers with quality broadcasts, the tower guarantees to reduce the total cost of digital transmission.
Where is it located?
Slowly rising to its flattering sky-high state, the Lotus Tower is located bordering the Beira Lake close to many a luxury apartment in Colombo including those that are a part of upcoming residential projects such as Capitol TwinPeaks.
The fun add-ons
The Lotus Tower should not be considered a mere transmission tower. Scheduled to be completed in October 2017, this concrete miracle comes with a multitude of shopping venues, several food courts, banquet halls and a museum. It will also feature an observation deck providing a stunning 3600 panorama of the city and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
Lo and behold!
While the tower consists everything a typical urbanite could want, it also features another magnificent add-on; a revolving restaurant located 234.2 metres up! Apart from being the first revolving restaurant in Sri Lanka, the tower will also provide state guests suites on the seventh floor.
