The early awaited and long overdue Lotus Tower development project (also known as Nelum Kuluna) is now nearing completion and is expected to be opened in a few weeks adding a new landmark to South Asia. Standing at over 350 metres tall, it will be the world’s 19th tallest tower and will house TV and radio broadcasting stations, 20 telecommunication service providers and 50 television broadcasters.
The Lotus Tower project will also offer two banquet and conference halls each accommodating nearly 450 guests. The foundation stone was laid on January 20, 2012 for the USD 104.3 million Lotus Tower project. Here the lighting of the lotus leaves of the tower being tested in the night and the tower in its full view.
