Global tech company, HCL, to take up 80-pct of ‘The Offices’ at Cinnamon Life
Colombo’s newest
state-of-the-art office tower, ‘The Offices’ at Cinnamon Life has been chosen as the hub
for leading global technology company, HCL Technologies’ growth drive in Sri Lanka.
Cinnamon Life is the first
A-grade office tower in Colombo to attract a leading multinational company to
occupy a majority of available office spaces within its premises.
HCL Technologies has
entered into an agreement with John Keells Holding (JKH) to occupy over 80%
of the space in the 30-storey Grade-A office building. HCL’s commitment as the anchor office tenant at
Cinnamon Life adds immense value to the integrated mixed development project as
a whole, as the office spaces are poised to attract a dynamic local and
expatriate workforce. The international company’s commitment and growth drive in
Sri Lanka are also reflective of the long-term business resilience of Colombo’s
ascent as a commercial hub in South Asia.
For HCL, Cinnamon Life’s prime location,
wide-ranging facilities and emphasis on utmost quality proved to be a winning
combination.
“The state-of-the-art
office space from Cinnamon Life is the perfect blend for HCL’s growth plans in
Sri Lanka,” said Srimathi Shivashankar, Corporate Vice President, HCL
Technologies. “Being at the heart of Colombo, this iconic signature structure
is a reflection of HCL as a next-generation global technology company that is
constantly reimagining business for a digital age.”
HCL Technologies Global
Development Center in Sri Lanka was officially inaugurated by the Honorable
Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa and Indian High Commissioner to
Sri Lanka, Gopal Baglay in September 2020. Since then, it continues to work to
place Sri Lanka on the global map as the preferred delivery center for Fortune
500 clients across diverse industry verticals.
Cinnamon Life, the much
anticipated iconic mixed-development project by JKH, is set to be a key feature
in Colombo’s skyline. It houses an 800-room five-star Cinnamon
hotel, a retail and entertainment
complex, unmatched conference venues, a grade A office tower and two separate luxury residential towers (‘The Residence’ and ‘The Suites’ at Cinnamon Life).
“We are looking forward to
hosting HCL, one of the world’s leading technology companies, at Cinnamon Life,
and to providing them a platform for growth over the coming years. HCL’s commitment to anchor its offices at Cinnamon
Life is a testament to the long-term vision we had when we launched this
ambitious project. With the full development
including the hotel and mall slated for opening next year, we expect that
Cinnamon Life will position Colombo as the leisure, entertainment, and retail
epicentre of the South Asian region,” reflected Krishan Balendra, Chairman of John
Keells Holdings.
A ‘city within a city’,
Cinnamon Life aims to be the lifestyle capital of Colombo and promises to
deliver a vibrant lifestyle experience. The property will also feature one of
the city’s premium retail and entertainment malls among several state-of-the-art
amenities and attractions.
Designed by renowned Sri Lankan-British designer, artist and writer Cecil
Balmond, Cinnamon Life spans 4.5 million square feet and will be not just Colombo’s
but the entire subcontinent’s ultimate lifestyle and entertainment hub.
