Construction of Nakheel Mall on Palm Jumeirah is approaching 50 per cent complete, according to the Dubai developer.
Nakheel said that the mall’s three underground parking levels, containing 4,000 spaces, are “nearly complete”, with the overall superstructure due to be finished in the third quarter of this year.
It added that work is also on track on the mall’s VIP entrance and rooftop features, which include two fountains and two waterfalls which “plunge 65ft into the mall”.
The mall will have five retail levels with 350 shops, restaurants and leisure attractions.
“Nearly 60 per cent of shop space Nakheel Mall has been booked, with Waitrose, Vox Cinemas, Adidas, Breitling, French Connection and Montblanc just some of the big names on board,” Nakheel said in a statement.
