JB Lands celebrates 45 years of excellence in property development
Daily FT
|August 28, 2025
THE real estate and property development sector continues to evolve, driven by economic progress, urbanisation, and changing consumer demands. Among the pioneers of this transformative journey is Janaka Bogollagama & Company, a name synonymous with trust, innovation, and accessibility in Sri Lanka's real estate landscape.

As the company celebrates its 45th anniversary and commemorates the 75th birth anniversary of its late founder, Janaka Bogollagama, JB Lands proudly reflects on a legacy built on the vision of making land ownership a reality for all Sri Lankans.
Founded in the late 1970s, during economic growth and the expansion of the middle-income segment, JB Lands identified a crucial gap in the market — limited access to private land ownership. Responding to this need, the company pioneered solutions that enabled thousands of Sri Lankans to secure land at an affordable cost. This mission, encapsulated in their promise of delivering ‘A Service with Absolute Trust’, remains at the heart of JB Lands’ operations.
