Colombo’s Shangri-la Hotel recently played host to a landmark event in the Sri Lankan property sector – the SFA Real Estate Symposium, orchestrated by Sunil Fernando Associates (SFA). As a pioneer in real estate valuation and advisory, SFA spearheaded this gathering under the theme ‘Optimising Sri Lanka’s Real Estate for Sustainable Socio-economic Growth,’ a pertinent subject in the current socio-economic climate.

The symposium drew in a host of industry luminaries and thought leaders, engaging in vigorous dialogue about the various critical aspects of the real estate sector.

The symposium included a panel discussion steered by SFA’s Managing Director, Manju Fernando. The panel included a diverse mix of experts such as Saurabh Mehrotra of Knight Frank – India, Dushyantha Perera of Sudath Perera Associates, Piyal Silva of Design Advocacy Ltd., and Romani De Silva of Alliance Finance.
