McLaren Construction has been appointed by Shamal Holding for the delivery of Nad Al Sheba Gardens Mall, Dubai.
With a contract value of circa AED 80 million (Circa £17.25m), this beautifully designed project consists of the full construction and fit-out of public areas of the two-storey retail and F&B mall, with an overall built-up area or around 12,600 m² located at the heart of a growing residential neighbourhood.
The appointment not only follows the UAE’s ambition to be the best place to live, but for the rising demand for smaller retail outlets and community focused shopping centres in developing areas of exclusive residential neighbourhoods.
McLaren will be responsible for all site preparation and civil engineering associated with the project and full superstructure works including MEP installations and fit-out to all public areas and back-of-house areas.
McLaren will deliver all external roads, parking and utility infrastructure as well as the hard landscaping and street design installations, seamlessly linking to all surrounding masterplan and public realm works.
As part of the mall’s design, McLaren is tasked with delivering detailed and striking architectural elements such as a cantilevered roof canopy and circular hollow section featuring columns, as well as a unique façade and shading systems to the perimeter wall areas.
Lyndon Hives, Preconstruction Director at McLaren Construction, comments:
“The quality of community spaces and architectural design, particularly its shopping centres and community malls, are part of what makes Dubai such an appealing international destination, and Nad Al Sheba Gardens Mall will become an immediate landmark in its local community, once completed. This unique community mall beautifully designed by local architectural practice LOCI, will bring both an important convenience through extensive retail partners as well as an enticing experience for all with exciting food and beverage options for the neighbourhood. McLaren is proud to be working with our valued client Shamal Holding to create a seamless retail experience for the community.”
Craig Rooney, Senior Executive Vice President at Shamal Holding said:
“Nad al Sheba Gardens has been purposefully designed to provide an extraordinary living experience that re-establishes the essence of community through a safe and open environment. Our community mall is the fundamental cornerstone in this ethos, serving as a unique central location that supports contemporary living and allows every resident and visitor to flourish. Selecting the right partner for this project was essential in bringing this vision to life and we are pleased to be working with McLaren Construction to deliver it”.
