UAE retailer Union Coop has completed Nad Al Hammar Mall, a retail destination located in the Nad Al Hammar area of Dubai. The mall features 17 shops with a total commercial area of 21,331sqft on the first floor, which will also contain a Union Coop hypermarket spread over 42,943sqft.
A statement from Union Coop said that the destination will open its doors on 29 September and will consist of two floors with 26 shops and three kiosks on the ground floor. It will be spread out over 117,349sqft of land, and will offer 157 parking spaces, in addition to outdoor parking spots available in the area.
In August 2022, Emaar said it was considering selling online fashion brand Namshi and was given investor go ahead in September 2022.
Announcing the launch, Engineer Madiya Ahmad Al Marri, Investment Division Director, said the new retail facility falls in one of the community mall categories. The mall is distinguished by its vital location, as it will serve the residents of Nad Al Hammar and its surrounding areas, she stated.
“Also, it has received an overwhelming response from investors and tenants, as all the shops in the new mall have been rented out and that too in record time,” remarked Al Marri. These include a mix of renowned international and local brands as well as pharmacies, restaurants, cafes, perfume shops, jewelers, health clinics, salons, fabrics, and abaya tailoring units, she added.
In September 2022, DMCC said all office space at its Uptown Tower has been fully pre-lease and, later in the month, Sweid & Sweid said it was launching a new commercial project in Dubai Internet City.
Harib Mohammed Binthani, Operations Division Director at Union Coop highlighted that the new mall would increase the proportions of the strategic stock of goods in the cooperative, and will include new shopping patterns, as it contains well-known international and local brands.
Mohammed Berregad Al Falasi, Admin Affairs Department Director pointed out that work on the administration offices and the setting up of internal warehouse equipment was completed in record time. Despite the timely work, Union Coop did not neglect the aspect of the urban architectural designs of the new mall – it has an architectural addition to the area characterised by modern and distinctive facades with its stunning lighting and innovative designs, the statement said.
The mall has also allocated a special corner for charities in spaces and donation boxes, as is the case in all Union Coop centres, the statement concluded.
