Dubai strengthens retail portfolio with Nad Al Sheba Mall

Dubai is set to welcome another major retail hub with the upcoming opening of Nad Al Sheba Mall in April 2025.

The 500,000 square-foot mixed-use retail destination is the latest addition to Dubai Holding Asset Management’s extensive retail portfolio.

The new mall will offer over 100 carefully curated stores, bringing a variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, and wellness options to the heart of Nad Al Sheba.

Designed for both convenience and leisure, Nad Al Sheba Mall will feature a rooftop gym, swimming pool, padel courts, and more than 900 parking spaces.

Its central location near schools and residential areas is expected to draw significant foot traffic, making it a new community hotspot.

Key tenants include F&B concepts such as Home Bakery, Parkers, and SALT; supermarkets like Spinneys and Union Coop; sports and fitness outlets including Go Sport and Fit N Glam; and children’s entertainment venues like Fun City and Orange Wheels.

"Nad Al Sheba Mall exemplifies our commitment to creating destinations that seamlessly blend modern convenience with community-centric experiences. As a strategic addition to our retail portfolio, this mall will not only meet the daily needs of visitors but also provide businesses with opportunities to thrive in a rapidly growing market," said Fareed Abdelrahman, Managing Director, Retail Destinations at Dubai Holding Asset Management.

According to the data gathering portal Statista, UAE retail sales are projected to reach $139.1 billion by 2028, up from $108.1 billion in 2024, fuelled by favourable demographics, improving macroeconomic conditions, and the rise of omnichannel retailing.
