Nakheel has opened a waterfront retail Pavilion at its new AED 450mn ($122mn) Jumeriah Islands Townhouses community, bringing 14 shops, restaurants and cafes to the neighbourhood.
Inaugurated on Thursday by Nakheel Chairman Ali Rashid Lootah, this is the fifth community retail centre in Nakheel Malls growing collection of neighbourhood shopping and dining hubs across Dubai.
It will serve 8,000 residents at Jumeirah Islands and provide a new destination for people living and working nearby.
Delivery of the Pavilion which has 30,000 sq ft of shop space comes as handover of homes at the premium residential community is in full swing. So far, 25 properties have been handed over, with the remaining investors due to collect their keys shortly.
The Townhouses and Pavilion are located on the north-western side of Jumeirah Islands.
The Jumeirah Islands Pavilion complements others at Al Furjan, Jumeirah Park, Discovery Gardens and International City. A second Pavilion at Al Furjan is on the way, along with one at the Badrah community in Jebel Ali.
Among Nakheels upcoming projects is Deira Mall for which a construction contract worth AE D4.2bn was awarded earlier this week.
