Dubai Media Office

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.
