Dubai Hills Mall will have a gross leasable area (GLA) of over 187,500 square meters and is scheduled to open in late-2019. It will be home to more than 750 outlets including a range of “fast fashion” retail and F&B choices featuring a wide array of restaurants and cafes.
Dubai Hills Mall will also feature four family entertainment and leisure cente rs including a cineplex, a hypermarket, seven anchor retail experience stores, and dedicated parking spaces for over 7,000 vehicles.
The mall offers seamless access from Sheikh Zayed Road, Mohammed bin Zayed Road, Umm Suqeim Road and Al-Khail Road.
Abdulla Al-Habbai, group chairman of Meraas, said: “Dubai Hills Mall is an innovative concept that will redefine the shopping malls and retail sector of the city. With the retail and trade sector contributing to about 30 percent of Dubai’s GDP, it is important to ensure its sustained competitiveness through such lifestyle destinations that welcome visitors from around the world in addition to serving the local community. As the centerpiece of Dubai Hills Estate, a smart city of the future, the Dubai Hills Mall will bring incredible value to the mega-development and further energise Dubai’s retail sector.”
Mohamed Alabbar, chairman of Emaar Properties, said: “We are developing Dubai Hills Mall with a fresh concept where the focus is not just on providing retail and leisure choices but also for visitors to create memories and lifestyle experiences. Integrating advanced technology features with the principles of a regional mall, it will be a socially and culturally inspiring space for people, young and old, residents and visitors, to meet, connect and relax.”
He added: “With a choice of event venues, the mall will host year-round activities for families. Elegantly designed and thoughtfully laid out, Dubai Hills Mall’s convenient location serves several established neighborhoods in Mohammed bin Rashid City and the catchment areas of Arabian Ranches and other lifestyle communities.”
