JKH says even though the proposed amendment will constrain the ability to command premium rentals on this component of the project the company will engage with the government in this regard.
“Whilst the proposed amendment will constrain the ability to command premium rental on this component of the project, the multi-faceted nature of this development gives your board the confidence that the project will still be viable given its diverse portfolio of revenue streams and iconic design which we believe will transform the landscape of Colombo,†JKH said in the statement.
"As such, the project will continue as planned.
