The Mall of Arabia is currently the largest retail mall being developed in Dubai, and is part of the much larger City of Arabia project.

In addition to providing in excess of 350,000 sq m of leasable retail space, the Mall of Arabia also includes a hotel and significant residential component in the neighbouring Wadi Walk, a collection of residential towers fronting the Wadi, or creek. The Wadi Walk also has a significant retail and food and beverage component to take advantage of the waterfront retail and dining opportunities.

DesignInc were engaged to provide retail and food and beverage Master Planning and design for the Mall of Arabia and Wadi Walk, including the food courts and restaurant precincts.

Given the vastness of the retail offer, the mall was divided into several retail precincts, each with its own distinct character and offer. Adjacencies were critical in establishing the leasing mix, and Designinc worked closely with the owner to establish a viable and exciting mix.

The design is based on creating a stylish contemporary interior that acts as a suitable setting for the individual retailers.
