The first phase includes the mall, a ski slope, one hotel and serviced apartment building and general infrastructure. Future phases would include the development of the residential, office, medical centre and hotel plots.
The statement said that City Center Ishbiliyah in Riyadh will cover 100,000 sqm of gross leasable area and will feature 250 stores, a 9,000 sqm Carrefour hypermarket, a food court and an entertainment complex.
