Majid Al Futtaim’s upcoming mall in Sharjah, City Centre Al Zahia is now officially set to open in March 2021. The state of the art shopping mall was supposed to open this year, however the decision was made to defer the opening date to next year amid the current worldwide pandemic.
The new revised opening date will allow the tenant partners of City Centre Al Zahia increased time to both prepare and stabilise their new stores effectivity and hopefully in a streamlined way.
“From the day we open the doors of City Centre Al Zahia, our ambition is to offer a compelling retail and entertainment experience to the Northern Emirates community. This ambition is shared by all of our tenants, and as an industry leader, we feel it is our responsibility to support them in any way we can towards achieving this shared goal,” said Shireen El Khatib, CEO, Majid Al Futtaim – Shopping Malls Business Unit.
“In line with our delivery commitments, the construction of the mall has run to schedule since we first broke ground. However, in light of the global changes that have impacted the retail industry, we have taken the prudent decision to revise the opening date of City Centre Al Zahia in the best interest of our customers and tenants. We remain confident that City Centre Al Zahia will become a landmark destination in the Northern Emirates and a signature addition to the Majid Al Futtaim family,” she added.
