In line with its commitment to sustainability, Sobha Realty has designed the mall featuring greenery, water features,
natural lighting, energy-efficient lighting, solar panels, green building materials and a skylight roof for natural light.
Furthermore, innovative technologies such as interactive displays, smart lighting systems and digital wayfinding will
be integrated to enhance visitor experiences.

Unique Architecture

Additionally, the mall will feature a variety of unique architectural elements, such as a vibrant bowl with a cascading
void stretching from the basement to the roof, creating a dramatic retail experience and a media screen strategically
placed on the facade to enhance visibility. The biophilic design includes green walls, water features, floating pods
and natural lighting to foster a serene atmosphere. The skylight roof will allow natural light to illuminate the interior
and support plant growth.

The project marks Sobha Realty’s strategic foray into the UAE’s retail sector, emphasising its commitment to
delivering exceptional living experiences. The mall prioritises the convenience and evolving demands of consumers
