Partnership strengthens Capital Trust Properties’ role as a trusted transaction and advisory partner for Sri Lanka’s leading real estate developments

Capital Trust Properties (CTP) has renewed its partnership with John Keells Properties to market its residential developments, including Cinnamon Life, TRI-ZEN, Viman and Vauxhall DSTRCT. The renewed partnership marks another milestone in Capital Trust Properties’ long-standing role in Sri Lanka’s real estate sector, where the company has built a reputation for providing end-to-end property transaction and advisory solutions for leading developers, investors and homeowners.

Founded in 2010, Capital Trust Properties has grown into one of Sri Lanka’s leading property transaction companies, offering a comprehensive suite of services including legal coordination, valuations, interior solutions, transaction advisory, development advisory and coordination, mortgage recommendations, rental advisory, furnishing support and developer due diligence.

The company’s partnership approach is built on selectivity, credibility and long-term value creation. Capital Trust Properties evaluates developers and developments based on ethical standards, financial credibility, transparency and due diligence, ensuring that clients and investors are guided towards projects that meet strong governance and market standards.

Commenting on the renewed partnership, Capital Trust Properties Chairperson, CEO and Founder, Minoli Wickramasinghe said, “Our partnership with John Keells Properties reflects the standards we have consistently upheld as a company, built on credibility, professionalism, transparency and ethical business conduct. We do not view real estate purely as a transaction. Our role is to guide clients with the right information, support developers with structured advisory solutions, and help create long-term value for all stakeholders. Renewing this partnership is an important step in continuing that commitment with one of Sri Lanka’s most respected developers.”

Nadeem Shums, Head of Sales & Marketing – Property Group and Vice President of John Keells Group, said, “Capital Trust Properties has demonstrated a strong understanding of Sri Lanka’s residential real estate market, supported by a professional and structured approach to client engagement. As we continue to develop and market residential projects that respond to evolving lifestyle and investment needs, partnerships of this nature help strengthen market access, customer confidence and the overall buying experience.”

Over the years, CTP has supported developers and property owners with solutions that extend beyond sales, helping to enhance the value, maintenance, furnishing, rental potential and long-term appeal of residential developments. This integrated approach has enabled the company to serve both developers and buyers with a strong focus on trust, clarity and informed decision-making.

The company has also continued to advocate for a more sustainable and transparent real estate industry in Sri Lanka. The company has engaged with regulators and relevant authorities on matters affecting the property sector, including the need for stronger regulation of property broking and a more competitive tax environment for condominium developments.

Under the leadership of Minoli Wickramasinghe, Capital Trust Properties has maintained a strong focus on sustainable growth rather than short-term gains. Wickramasinghe has received several local and international recognitions, including the Global CEO Top Businesswomen Award 2025, the Top50 Professional & Career Women Global Award, and recognition at a UK-based awards ceremony for her contribution to the real estate sector. The company was also recognised at the Asia Pacific Awards 2024/2025, further reinforcing its position as a trusted real estate transaction and advisory company in Sri Lanka.
