lifestyle, and connectivity.
Strategically located in the heart of Colombo, Cinnamon Life offers a truly differentiated office environment as part of Sri Lanka’s largest integrated mixed-use development. With direct access to the Cinnamon Life Hotel and NUWA hotel, premium apartments at The Residences at

(approximately LKR 950 per sq. ft. + taxes) reflect not just the quality of the office spaces, but the value of being part of a fully integrated development that brings together business, lifestyle, and global connectivity in one destination. We are seeing increasing interest from both local and international corporates who recognise the long-term advantages of this ecosystem.”
