Dubai will add another neighbourhood retail asset in August 2026 when NAS Gardens Community Mall opens inside Meraas’ Nad Al Sheba Gardens development.
Early occupiers include Waitrose supermarket, Kokoro Handroll Bar and Bake My Day. Coverage on the launch also lists cafés, restaurants, health and fitness spaces and a nursery inside the two-storey scheme.
Nestled just ten minutes from Downtown Dubai and within easy reach of areas including DIFC, Business Bay and Meydan, Nad Al Sheba Gardens is owned by Shamal and developed by Meraas.
“Nad Al Sheba Gardens is an extraordinary living experience, designed as a calm yet vibrant environment which allows residents to find a ‘sense of belonging’. It is a tangible manifestation of the UAE’s ambition to be the best place to live and a place where people find their forever home,” said Abdulla Binhabtoor, CEO at Shamal.
Meraas also outlines villas, townhouses, landscaped land and a wider amenity base built around family living.
Nad Al Sheba Gardens is a private community with walkable roads, cycling and running tracks, yoga lawns, sports facilities and an amphitheatre. The district is a mere ten minutes from Downtown Dubai, with access to Meydan Racetrack, Dubai International Airport and major highways.
NAS Gardens Community Mall is being pitched for residents, but it is also being positioned to pull visitors from nearby business and residential clusters. For Meraas, that gives Nad Al Sheba Gardens another daily use amenity inside a district already geared around family occupancy and short drive access to the city core.
