"The Dubai Mall, the flagship property of Emaar Malls Group, will be
finally open to public on October 30, 2008.
The opening date of the mall coincides with an extended retail
season in the region marked by the UAE National Day, Eid Al Adha,
New Year and the Dubai Shopping Festival.
On October 30, all public areas of The Dubai Mall will be open to
customers at the same time, creating a retail event unlike anything
ever seen in the region. The Dubai Aquarium and Discovery Centre,
the Olympic-sized Dubai Ice Rink, the world's largest indoor Gold
Souk and hundreds of retailers will open simultaneously giving
visitors several retail and leisure options,” said Mohamed Ali
Alabbar, Chairman, Emaar Properties.
The Dubai Mall is expecting some 30 million customers in the very
first year of trade, and to support this the mall will have over
14,000 car park spaces and a dedicated bridge from Sheikh Zayed Road
for direct access to the mall.
The Dubai Mall is a 12 million sq ft shopper's paradise and is an
integral part of the Downtown Burj Dubai development. With a total
internal floor area of 5.9 million sq ft, the Dubai Mall will have
3.77 million sq ft of gross leasable space with more than 1,200
retail outlets, two anchor department stores and more than 120 food
and beverage outlets". (Fonte: DTCM)
