Shamal Holding Appoints Contractor for Delivery of Nad Al Sheba Gardens Mall in Dubai

With a contract value of circa AED $80 million (circa £17.25m), the Nad Al Sheba Gardens Mall project, appointed to McLaren Construction by Shamal Holding, consists of the full construction and fit-out of public areas of the two-story retail and F&B mall, with an overall built-up area — around 12,600 square meters — located in the heart of a growing residential neighborhood in Dubai. The project not only follows the UAE’s ambition to be the best place to live, but for the rising demand for smaller retail outlets and community-focused shopping centers in developing areas of exclusive residential neighborhoods.

McLaren will be responsible for all site preparation and civil engineering associated with the project, and full superstructure works including MEP installations and fit-out to all public and back-of-house areas. The project team will also deliver all external roads, parking and utility infrastructure, as well as the hard landscaping and street design installations, seamlessly linking to all surrounding masterplan and public realm works.

As part of the mall’s design, the contractor is tasked with delivering detailed and striking architectural elements, including a cantilevered roof canopy and circular hollow section featuring columns, as well as a unique façade and shading systems to the perimeter wall areas.
