Figures measured across the 13 spaces we list within 20 km. Last updated: 4 September 2026.
Every single one of the 13 flexible workspaces catalogued across our 20 km radius around Malabe is operated by Regus, yet your monthly commitment can more than double depending on the specific tier you choose. To evaluate this market accurately, understand that our inventory covers a wide 20 km catchment extending toward Colombo, rather than Malabe town alone. Signing a conventional commercial lease in this corridor locks your capital into long commitments and landlord fit-outs before your business even confirms its headcount.

For a team of 10, pricing starts at 269,500 LKR per month, while the median reaches 584,400 LKR per month.
