About Altair

Altair is one of Colombo’s most recognisable buildings: two residential towers designed by the architect Moshe Safdie, one upright and one leaning against it, beside Beira Lake and a minute from the Gangaramaya temple. The developer describes the residences as fully completed, with a 63rd-floor infinity pool, landscaped gardens and pools on the fifth floor, and a retail podium.
