One Galle Face is a mixed-use complex of buildings 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.[4] 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.[5] The premises in its entirety is owned by Shangri-La.[6]
The twin towers of the residential component are tied as the 4th-tallest structures in the country, at 194 m (636 ft).[7] The towers are 51 storeys each, with two-, three-, or four bedroom apartments of 161.0 m2 (1,733 sq ft), 255.0 m2 (2,745 sq ft), and 329.0 m2 (3,541 sq ft), respectively. They will also contain 16 penthouses.[8]
Shangri-La Colombo opened on 16 November 2017, as the first of the four project components to do so.[9] The hotel has 500 rooms and 41 serviced apartments.[9]
