The development is planned to include:
- Luxury residences
- Hotel

History and development
The project was initially announced as a mixed-use development within Colombo Port City. In 2025, the developer announced that the project had been repositioned to a new land parcel within Port City following discussions with CHEC Port City Colombo (Pvt) Ltd, the primary developer of the Port City, citing improved Development Control Regulations (DCR) flexibility, constructability and financial viability.
The revised investment value for the project was reported as US$595.69 million, up from earlier estimates. To support continued development, the company announced a private placement of up to €300 million in credit-linked notes (CLN). The project is led by Priyath Bandu Wickrama, Chief Executive Officer of Clothespin Management and Development (Private) Limited.
Location
Cey Laya is located on a waterfront site within Colombo Port City, a 269-hectare reclaimed land development adjacent to the existing Colombo central business district and Galle Face. The Port City is operated as a special economic zone under the Colombo Port City Economic Commission.
