Achilleion is a proposed residential complex in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Upon completion, the complex is planned to consist of two twin skyscrapers of 50 floors each, connected by two skybridges; one at the centre of the towers and the other at the top, functioning as a helipad. The 2016 land value on which the Achilleion towers will be built is Rs. 2.3 billion (US$ 15.7 million).[1]

Currently, a Rs. 300 million (US$ 2 million) show apartment is built at the site, 100 ft (30 m) above sea level. It is claimed to be the tallest stand-alone show apartment in the world.[2] Construction of the buildings commenced in January 2017.[3]
