Dubai Square Mall, the ambitious retail and lifestyle destination currently taking shape in Dubai Creek Harbour, is expected to open its doors within the next three years, according to Mohamed Alabbar, founder and managing director of Emaar Properties.
In a recent social media announcement, Alabbar highlighted the scale of the development, noting that the AED180 billion ($49 billion) project will span an area three times larger than Downtown Dubai.
He also emphasized one of the mall’s standout features: its design will accommodate the operation of electric vehicles inside the complex, a move that reflects Dubai’s broader push to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility across the city.
Second-largest shopping and entertainment mall in Dubai Creek Harbour
In 2024, Emaar Properties completed the detailed design of Dubai Square Mall, which is set to become the second-largest shopping and entertainment mall in Dubai Creek Harbour.
This significant project represents a step in establishing Dubai as a prime global destination for shopping and leisure. Dubai Square will feature breakthrough technologies and innovative concepts in retail, dining and entertainment, offering an unparalleled experience that goes beyond traditional shopping environments.
Dubai Square Mall is characterized by its advanced technologies and contemporary and innovative design, and will be linked to the new Dubai Creek Tower, giving it a distinctive position in the heart of Dubai Creek Harbour.
Most advanced AI systems deployed to analyze needs of retailers and visitors
Emaar had previously highlighted the project’s significance as a perfect opportunity for employee skill development, particularly for young Emirati nationals, reflecting the company’s dedication to boosting local expertise and supporting national development.
“After fifteen years of catering for a hundred million visitors on a yearly basis and over 1,500 retailers, Emaar has a great wealth of knowledge and experience and is perfectly capable of doing the same with the new project while still seeking retailers’ advice as we do this development,” Alabbar previously noted.
“Despite the fact that AI is a new science in design, Emaar is implementing and deploying the most advanced AI systems to analyze and predict the needs of retailers and visitors in the future,” he added.
Dubai Square Mall is part of an ultra-modern and elegant urban project, Dubai Creek Harbour, on the banks of the historic Dubai Creek. Its design features pedestrian-friendly streets and encompasses 7.4 million square meters of residential space and 500,000 square meters of gardens and open areas.
The project offers a range of modern real estate embodying the contemporary architectural style of Dubai Creek’s waterfront, including a wide selection of apartments, duplex units, and penthouses suitable for all lifestyles.
