Dubai: Nakheel, the Dubai-based developer, officially opened on Wednesday International City Pavilion, a new retail hub with 24 outlets, and a development value of nearly Dh90 million.
The Pavilion is the latest project in the company’s Dh16-billion retail expansion that will bring 17 million square feet of new shop space to Dubai, and features Union Coop as the anchor store. International City Pavilion alone contains 82,000 square feet of leasing space — 70,000 square feet of which opened on Wednesday, with the rest undergoing fit out.
In a statement from Nakheel, the company said there are also plans to extend the Pavilion with a cinema, which has already been leased to an operator.
International City Pavilion is the third Nakheel neighbourhood centre to open, following another two at Jumeirah Park and Discovery Gardens that opened in 2014, with more under development at Al Furjan, Al Furjan West, Jumeirah Islands, and Badrah.
Nakheel is also in the process of building large-scale malls at Palm Jumeirah, Deira Islands, Jumeirah Village, and Nad Al Sheba as well as expanding Ibn Battuta Mall and Dragon Mart.
