The Dubai Marina Mall opens to public

Spreading across a gross leasable area of 390,000 square feet, the mall will feature about 160 retail outlets, including a supermarket, accessory outlets, fashion wear, boutiques and jewelry shops.

Set in a vibrant master-planned community, Dubai Marina, with wonderful waterfront locations, the mall will offer indoor and al fresco dining for visitors, along an extensive promenade overlooking the Arabian Gulf. The promenade will be unveiled in 2009.

The Dubai Marina Mall features a unique architectural circular atrium that makes maximum use of its waterfront location. The four-storey mall will have direct access from Sheikh Zayed Road through a purpose-built tunnel. The mall offers over 2000 underground car parking spaces.

The CEO of Emaar Malls Group, Jim Badour, said that with the opening of their flagship project, the Emaar Malls Group has carved the concept of shopping malls that offer a varied mix of shopping and entertainment options. Dubai Marina Mall will further build on this concept to offer a refreshing shopping and leisure destination for residents and visitors to Dubai Marina.

The attractions soon to open include the second Waitrose Supermarket in UAE, one of the leading UK’s supermarkets and largest supermarket in Dubai Marina, and a kids’ entertainment zone spanning 10,000 square feet. Majority of specialty stores would be open by 2009 in time for Dubai Shopping Festival.

The Dubai Marina Hotel and serviced residence adjacent to the mall, a 7-storey Gourmet Tower, and six-screen Cineplex dedicated to diverse cuisines form a part of the mall complex, which are due to open in 2009. The Gourmet Tower is an original concept for the city and a real attraction to the community.

The Emaar Malls Group has plans to develop modern shopping and entertainment destination in major emerging markets across MENA region, the South Asia and Indian Subcontinent.
