UAE business conglomerate, Majid Al Futtaim, unveiled a new wing with top global brands and restaurants in City Centre Ajman, that make their debut in the emirate.
City Centre Ajman has grown from 29,000 to 55,672 sqm in size as part of the ongoing redevelopment. The modern design of the extended wing with a skylight roof allowing natural light to stream into the mall during the day and the contrast lighting levels in the stores and new central galleria create a warm and inviting atmosphere for the visitors.
Construction has been carried out in line with green building best practice and Majid Al Futtaims sustainability strategy. Innovative and energy-efficient design and procedures, including installing LED lighting and water-saving, low-flow faucets and fixtures will reduce the malls carbon footprint.
City Centre Ajman is addressing the changing expectations of its stylish customers by bringing 79 international fashion and lifestyle stores, and an al fresco dining experience as part of the expansion. US-based family restaurant Pizza Express and Mado Cafe, which is known for its comforting Turkish fare, make their foray into Ajman with an indoor and outdoor dining area at City Centre Ajman. Lifestyle brands including, Lush, MAC Cosmetics, and Damas, are also scheduled to open at the mall in the coming months.
Since its launch in 1998, City Centre Ajman has continued to evolve and grow. The expansion cements the malls status as a regional shopping destination in the emirate, said Fuad Mansoor Sharaf, MD for Majid Al Futtaim Properties, Shopping Malls (UAE, Bahrain, and Oman).
Taking customer feedback into consideration, the mall has boosted parking capacity from 750 to 1,800 as part of the first phase of its AED650mn enhancement project.
Keeping convenience and accessibility at the forefront of its upgrades, the mall has also added new toilets, baby changing rooms and prayer facilities, as well as a bigger Magic Planet entertainment centre in the new wing.
Sharaf said: We have upgraded this community-centered mall to an all-round shopping, dining and leisure destination with far-reaching appeal in the region, boosting the emirates retail economy. These improvements have also been undertaken to meet the changing expectations of our customers, who not only turn to us for all the best international brands under one roof but see City Centre Ajman as a destination where they can gather and create great moments with family and friends. The new wing, with its modern architecture, bigger stores and al fresco dining options, will offer a truly holistic experience to visitors.
