Opening date announced for Fujairah’s first mall
– CityCentre on track to achieve LEED rating
– Tenth regional mall for Developer Majid Al Futtaim
– Construction on the US$108.9m began 2010
Fujairah’s first integrated retail, leisure and entertainment mall is on track to open on April 4. Developed by Majid Al Futtaim Properties, the mall is also due to receive the anticipated LEED accreditation.
The US$108.9m project began in 2010 and was construction in partnership with the government-owned Fujairah Investment Establishment and Khansaheb Civil Engineering. To date 2.5 million accident-free hours have been logged.
“We are diligently working with our retail partners, contractors and government officials to ensure a smooth and successful launch,” said Majed Al Fahim, senior mall manager for Fujairah City Centre.
“Construction for the mall is on-schedule and we expect the positive momentum to increase as we move closer towards the immediate opening phase. We’re delighted to confirm the opening date for Fujairah City Centre to the wider community and our valued stakeholders, and we look forward to soon welcoming everyone to the Emirate’s newest lifestyle destination.”
The mall marks a landstone in the Emirate’s growth, which has seen huge investment in tourism, social infrastructure and industrial development. Marking the UAE’s 40th National Day in December 2011, senior municipality heads opened the new Fujairah high-way, cutting travel times between Fujairah and Dubai to under one hour.
