[4] Sri Lankan-British architect, Cecil Balmond designed the resort while Hyundai Engineering & Construction is the main contractor.

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams Sri Lanka, the 687-room luxury hotel within the resort, was declared on 15 October 2024.

[6] The project was scheduled to finish in 2018 but the expected completion was delayed to March 2020 for Office Tower while it would be the first quarter of 2023 for the hotel and retail mall.

The cost of the project has also risen due to the depreciation of the Sri Lankan rupee against the US dollar.

[13] In February 2021, the resort's office and suites towers received the certificate of conformity and were scheduled to hand over to the occupants in March 2021.

A five-storeyed shopping mall will connect to the hotel and the resort is expected to be a hub for MICE (Meetings, incentives, conferencing, exhibitions).
