The new two-storey building of 5,870 square feet will be constructed at No 274, Panadura Road, Horana.
It is designed for optimal use of natural light and will be solar powered, the company said.
The building will be equipped with the latest energy efficient lighting and air conditioning systems and have a facility for rainwater harvesting.
The foundation stone for the new office building was ceremonially laid by Ceylinco Life Managing Director/CEO Mr R. Renganathan.
A similar branch building designed to use renewable energy and water is nearing completion at Wennappuwa.

The company operates the largest network of 250 branches in Sri Lanka’s life insurance industry, giving it a physical presence in 142 cities, towns and villages in every one of the island’s 25 districts.
The market leader in Sri Lanka’s life insurance sector since 2004, Ceylinco Life has close to a million lives covered by active policies.
The company is acknowledged as the benchmark for innovation in the local insurance industry for its work in product research and development, customer service, professional development and corporate social responsibility.
