Majestic City, traded as C T Land Development PLC, is a seven-storey commercial and shopping complex, located in Bambalapitiya, a suburb of Colombo, near the Bambalapitiya Railway Station.

The complex is owned by C T Land Development PLC. The founding chairman of the complex was Albert A. Page. Majestic City incorporates a diverse range of shopping outlets (240), including a food court, supermarket, children's amusement centre, banks and the Majestic Cineplex.

Construction

The complex was designed by Gemmu Fernando of the Design Group Five International (Pvt) Ltd[2] and constructed by Tudawe Brothers Limited. Construction of the three-storey 13,000 m2 (140,000 sq ft) shopping complex, with 88 tenancies, developed around a central atrium was completed in 1991 and formally opened on 4 April.

The second phase of development, comprising a cinema, food court, amusement centre and additional tenancies commenced in May 1993 was opened on 4 December 1994. It was designed by Design Group Five International and constructed by Sanken Construction (Pvt) Ltd at a cost of Rs 171 million.[3]

An LKR176 million renovation of the building was undertaken in 2008, which included modifications to the Galle Road entrance and the atrium, together with a refurbishment of the basement food court.[4]

In 2010 the fifth level of the complex was refurbished, and three new cinemas were added, with the cinemas opening on 4 December that year.
