One Galle Face is a mixed-use complex of buildings currently being built near the Galle Face Green in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is also Sri Lanka's first internationally and developed and managed mixed use project and was officially opened on 8 November 2019.[2] The facility consists of four skyscrapers, one which will be open for businesses to set up offices, two for the residential component, and the fourth as part of a hotel. A shopping mall is also part of the project.[3] The premises in its entirety is owned by Shangri-La.[4]
The twin towers of the residential component are tied as the 4th-tallest structures in the country, at 194 m (636 ft).[5] The towers are 51 storeys each, with two-, three-, or four bedroom apartments of 1,733 sq ft (161.0 m2), 2,745 sq ft (255.0 m2), and 3,541 sq ft (329.0 m2), respectively. They will also contain 16 penthouses.[6]
Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo opened on 16 November 2017, as the first of the four project components to do so.[7] The hotel has 500 rooms and 41 serviced apartments.[7]
The Mall at One Galle Face
The Mall consists of 490,000 square feet (46,000 m2) of lettable commercial space distributed among 7 floors, scheduled for a June 2019 opening.[8] It is planned to contain a multiplex (operated by PVR Cinemas), a 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2) food court (operated by Food Studio), a supermarket, and a planned capacity of 300 units of retail, entertainment and dining outlets.[8][9][10] Softlogic became one of the first confirmed tenants of the Mall in July 2017, with Odel slated to open a multi-level department store with a floor space of 54,454 square feet (5,058.9 m2).[8][11][10] Keells Super will also operate a gourmet supermarket within the Mall.[10] The mall was opened to the public on 8 November 2019 by President Maithripala Sirisena which also marked his last inauguration ceremony as the President of the country.[12]
