Nakheel opened Al Furjan Pavilion, the latest project in its Dh16 billion retail expansion and the fourth in its growing collection of community retail centres, on Sunday.

With a development value of Dh110 million, the Al Furjan Pavilion is the fifth Nakheel Malls project to open this year and brings the company's 2016 retail project delivery value to more than Dh1.5 billion.

Nakheel chairman Ali Rashid Lootah said: "2016 has been a momentous year for Nakheel Malls, with Dh1.5 billion worth of projects and over 1.5 million sq ft of retail space delivered."

The first of two pavilions at Al Furjan, the centre has 24 shops, restaurants and services across 87,000 sq ft of leasable space, plus a car park for more than 300 vehicles. Retailers include a Spinneys supermarket, 10 food and beverage outlets and a variety of shops selling everything from books to beauty services. In addition, a medical centre and branch of the Jebel Ali Village Nursery will open soon.

Located at the southern end of Al Furjan, the complex also features a sports and recreation hub with a restaurant, swimming pool, sports court and gym, scheduled to open by the end of Q1 2017. Nakheel is also set to build a mosque at the Pavilion, with construction starting next year.

Other retail projects opened by Nakheel in 2016 are Dragon Mart 2, Ibn Battuta phase one extension and Metro link, Club Vista Mare on Palm Jumeirah and International City Pavilion.

A second Nakheel Pavilion at Al Furjan, including a mosque for 500 people, is also under construction, with anticipated completion in Q1 2017. Located on the western side of the community, it will contain around 35 shops, restaurants and cafes, plus a gym and nursery.

Other Nakheel Pavilions open and operational can be found at Jumeirah Park, Discovery Gardens and International City, with more on the way at Jumeirah Islands and Badrah.
