Empire, Twin residential towers in Colombo District, Sri Lanka.
Empire is a twin tower residential complex in Colombo made up of two tall buildings standing side by side. Together they contain over 100 apartments of varying sizes, from compact units to larger family homes and penthouses.
These towers were built in 2009 on land where the Empire Theatre once stood. This development marked a shift toward tall residential buildings in Colombo as the city began addressing its growing population density.
The Empire complex represents the transformation of Sri Lankan residential architecture, integrating modern design principles within Colombo's evolving urban framework.
The complex sits in a central location within Colombo that is easy to reach by public transport. Keep in mind that this is a private residential building, so access is limited to the common areas and lobby.
Each tower provides residents with views across Colombo, while contributing to the city's vertical expansion as a response to urban density requirements.
