A new mall is set to open its doors in 2026, announced Sobha Realty, a leading global luxury real estate developer, in a press release this week.
The project is estimated to cost of AED 210 million, with a built-up area of approximately 339,000 square feet.
It will feature amenities such as a supermarket, gym, play courts, a soft play/entertainment zone and diverse restaurants offering a wide range of food choices.

“The project underscores our vision to create integrated and community-focused spaces that seamlessly combine convenience while offering multi-tier retail stores, gourmet dining and diverse entertainment options,” he added.
“Beyond a retail space, the mall is designed to be a pivotal hub for community engagement that offers an ideal blend of nature, culture and recreation that will elevate the living quotient of community members and visitors.”
The mall will also be built with several green features such as energy-efficient lighting, solar panels, green building materials and a skylight roof for natural light.
Furthermore, innovative technologies such as interactive displays, smart lighting systems and digital wayfinding will be integrated to enhance the visitor experience.
