The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) and master developer Nakheel have collaborated in a joint venture, that will bring a new community retail centre to Sharjah.
The project Nakheel’s first outside its home emirate of Dubai has an estimated development value of AED75 million.
Under the agreement, signed on Monday by Marwan bin Jassim Al Sarkal, CEO of Shurooq, and Sanjay Manchanda, CEO of Nakheel, the two organisations will create a shopping, dining and leisure hub in Sharjah’s rapidly-expanding Al Rahmaniya district.
The project, to be developed by Nakheel and managed by its retail subsidiary, Nakheel Malls, joins an ever-growing collection in Nakheel’s retail portfolio, which currently includes 11 large-scale concepts and seven neighbourhood retail hubs, kno-wn as Nakheel Pavilions, like the one to be built in Sharjah. Design work is underway and details about the new project will be
unveiled this year.
“We work with a variety of partners to help realise Sharjah’s full potential, investing and developing its social, cultural, environmental and economic growth, which falls in line with the wise directives and vision of HH Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah,†Al Sarkal said.
