From background player to industry-wide trendsetter, serviced workspaces in Sri Lanka are primed and ready to finally deliver on what their strongest advocates have long known to be true. Leading this shift is Elegance Workspaces, which opened their newest luxury workspace in Rajagiriya.

While most serviced workspaces offer a base set of features, Elegance goes a step further; bearing the trademark chic flourishes and rich interior it has fast become known for, Elegance has stacked its workspaces with a myriad of services and amenities to go with its exquisite design. 

Wi-Fi, maintenance, security, access control, tea/coffee and even a gym, are all readily available to its members so that they can place all their focus on growing their businesses. Meanwhile an ample number of work desks, private suites and open lounge spaces, to go with a spacious shared spaces and a roof top terrace, help create a conducive environment to inspire one’s best work. 

“We ensure that we provide our members with extraordinary facilities, beautiful design, good ambience, a good vibe, and a positive aura within our spaces, so that they can do what they do best, while we take care of everything else,” stated Elegance Founder Director Ganatharan Jeyakumar, during his opening speech at the launch of Elegance Rajagiriya, which was declared open by Brandix Group Director Aslam Omar.

Elegance though doesn’t stop there. Since the launch of their flagship workspace in Colombo 7 in November 2019, Elegance has turned on its head the notion that such spaces were predominantly the domain of freelancers, start-ups and entrepreneurs. 

Boasting a host of Fortune 500 companies and MNCs such as Dell, Fiserv, Path and Salpo among its membership, Elegance is showing through action that serviced offices can offer significantly more upside than those afforded through more traditional avenues such as commercial real estate - all of which is now being provided in an ever more upscale yet egalitarian package. The importance of which was not lost on the guests at the event, who took time out from an evening of cocktails and networking to share their thoughts on Elegance.

Publicis Group CEO Sanjay Chaudhari stated: “What I found absolutely amazing and really good for us is that this is truly world class. Especially for us in the communication business we need a space that can inspire us, something that helps us get more innovative and free thinking. I think what we saw at Elegance was absolutely fabulous.”

Leo Burnett Chief Creative Officer Ransley Burrows meanwhile doubled down on the praise for Elegance Rajagiriya’s striking aesthetic: “They say that first impressions matter and I am absolutely in love. I love the views, it’s got a lot of spaces to ogle.”

Elegance though certainly isn’t resting on its laurels. In its bid to redefine how businesses approach their workspace requirements, plans are already in place to open its third workspace in November of this year in Colombo 3, further cementing Elegance’s place as the largest serviced workspace provider in the country.
