After giving Dubai several iconic real estate projects like the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa, and the sprawling Dubai Mall, Emaar Properties has now unveiled Dubai Square – a futuristic retail and entertainment destination that will also feature the world’s first drive-through mall design.
Dubai Square will anchor Emaar’s Dubai Creek Harbour development and will span 2.6 million square meters of retail, hospitality and commercial area. Dubai Creek Harbour is an enormous 11 million square meters waterfront development with a total development cost of AED180 billion (US$49 billion). That would make it three times the size of Downtown Dubai.
The project underscores Emaar’s vision for the future, combining residential, commercial, and leisure spaces on the banks of the historic Dubai Creek.
Emaar founder Mohamed Alabbar shared the announcement on social media.
Construction of the project is currently underway and is expected to be completed in three years.
‘Dubai Square’ will feature breakthrough technologies and innovative concepts in retail, dining, and entertainment, offering an unparalleled experience that goes beyond traditional shopping environments. It will be connected to Dubai Creek Tower, which will be another mega skyscraper being built by Emaar.
The project features a fully integrated transport network and pedestrian-friendly streets and will be the world’s first drive-through mall design. It will support the growing electric vehicle market by offering dedicated EV facilities.
