The Maligawatte flats were built in 1973, and this is the first complete renovation work done after 39 years. The renovation was under President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s ‘Mahinda Chinthana vision for the future’ programme and the ‘Janasevana’ programme initiated by Minister Wimal Weerawansa.

The construction work was carried out by the National Engineering Corporation under the guidance of the NHDA.
