- The Port City was claimed to be a concept of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who was apparently inspired while inspecting the landfill being constructed for the Colombo South port. The modern Port City was in fact an unsolicitated proposal submitted by China Harbour Engineering Company based on previous proposals.
The construction was set to begin in March 2011 but due to several circumstances the project was stopped. In mid 2012, the Sri Lankan Port Authority, better known as SLPA, announced that the construction of the then Colombo Port City project would commence on 17 September 2014. The budget is estimated to be US$15 billion.
The reclamation was to be carried out by China Harbor Engineering Corporation, who has been engaged by the investor. 125 ha (310 acres) was the land was given to government as well as 88 ha (220 acres) while owned by the government was planned to be leased for 99 years to the Chinese company. 20 ha (49 acres) was planned to be given freehold to the Chinese company.
Construction of the Colombo Port City project was launched on 17 September 2014 by Sri-Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The port city has been criticised for several reasons. Many environmentalists claim that the port city contain many environmental hazards and the adverse environmental impacts the project will cause would be far more than the economic benefits it may have to offer.Maritime sector veterans also pointed out the dangers Sri Lanka may face due to giving outright ownership of land to China specially in a high-security zone and concerns about its effects on Sri Lanka's sovereignty has also been expressed. The project was also criticized for its lack of transparency and irregularities such as the involvement of SLPA which is implementing the reclamation project, had no mandate to do so as its mandate is to deal with ports and shipping.

It's the responsibility of the nation, that SJB doesn't come in to power for the next 20 years.
Absolutely!
Any buildings yet? Who is building what so far? Which one is LOLC.? what else they have.?
Lolc is one of the biggest investment company in Sri Lanka , Once the infrastructure is completed, new investments will be allowed to construct the buildings, and lolc has also invested, I think
Srilanka ❤️🇱🇰🙏
Port City Colombo - The future home of our MPs - Good place to stay to avoid all the problems in the rest of Colombo
I wonder how much they will charge us to enter this place when it is ready. If they allow us to enter that is.
Probably 100000/= per person lol 😆
