Retail Park plan revealed as part of Al Ain mall revamp
Aldar Properties says Al Jimi Mall extension on track for end-2018 completion
Al Jimi Mall, the Al Ain shopping and entertainment destination, has revealed that an extension, which will add 45,000 sq m of gross leasable area (GLA), is on track to open by the end of 2018.
The extension is currently about 80 percent complete, and, once complete, will include the city’s first outside Retail Park concept, 88 new stores and Al Ain’s first eight-screen Vox Cinema.
The extension will also include 1,200 extra car parking spaces, doubling the capacity of the mall’s current parking lot.
Al Jimi Mall, which first opened in 2001, is owned and managed by Aldar Properties.
The new Retail Park will consist of several big box spaces, ranging in size from 1,500 sq m to 6,500 sq m while the extension will debut new brands including the city’s first Danube Home Store, United Furniture outlet and Jarir Book Store. Al Jimi Mall will also launch the largest Home Center in Al Ain and the city’s first stand-alone Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank.
Brad Merchant, director of Retail Asset Management at Aldar Properties, said: "The latest renovations here at Al Jimi Mall are a testament to Aldar’s commitment to serve the needs of our local community and the people of the UAE. Al Ain is a key growth area for Aldar’s retail portfolio as it evolves to become a cultural and community hub."
Aldar’s assets in Al Ain also include Al Remal Mall and the Shabhat Plaza.
