Nakheel chairman Ali Rashid Lootah opened the International City Pavilion, a shopping and dining hub with 24 shops, restaurants and services, at a development value of Dh90 million.

Located on the southern side of International City, the Pavilion is the latest project in the company's Dh16 billion retail expansion.

International City Pavilion, which has 250 parking spaces, contains 82,000 sq ft of leasing space, 70,000 sq ft of which opened on Wednesday with the rest undergoing fit out. It features a Union Coop as the anchor store, an Aster Specialist Medical Centre and a host of outlets such as Magrabi, Aster Pharmacy, etisalat, Adidas, McDdonalds, Gloria Jeans, KFC and Baskin Robbins.

There are also plans to extend the Pavilion with a cinema, which has been leased to an operator.

International City Pavilion is the third Nakheel neighbourhood centre to open: the first two at Jumeirah Park and Discovery Gardens opened in 2014, with more under development at Al Furjan, Al Furjan West, Jumeirah Islands and Badrah.

Lootah said: "We are committed to enhancing our communities with services and facilities that people want and need."
