Union Coop has officially inaugurated its latest project, ‘Al Khawaneej Mall’, located in Al Khawaneej 2, Dubai. Spread over approximately 70,000 sq ft, the new mall features a hypermarket, a diverse range of retail and service outlets, and ample outdoor parking spaces. This opening marks a strategic step in the cooperative’s ongoing expansion plan to serve key residential areas and vital locations across the emirate. The mall is designed to serve as a vibrant, accessible commercial and social space that meets the everyday needs of Dubai’s growing residential communities.
Al Khawaneej Mall features contemporary architectural design that emphasises comfort, natural flow, and user-centric functionality. The layout incorporates open circulation paths, natural lighting elements, and minimalist aesthetics, enhancing both shopper convenience and visual appeal.

At its core is a state-of-the-art hypermarket that anchors the development, complemented by a well-curated mix of retail outlets, service centers, a children’s nursery, and an ENOC service station. Ample outdoor parking facilities ensure a seamless visitor experience from arrival to departure.
The grand opening ceremony was attended by Majid Hamad Rahma Al Shamsi, chairman; Mohamed Al Hashemi, CEO of Union Coop; and Thilal Bin Quraish Alfalasi, support sector CEO assistant, alongside dignitaries, employees, suppliers, strategic partners, and shoppers.
Speaking at the event, Union Coop’s CEO Al Hashemi stated: “The project is much more than just a shopping center or a mall, but a thoughtfully designed social-retail space, which seeks to offer exceptional customer experience that aligns with state-of-art Dubai standard. The architectural style is flexible, family-centric and people-friendly.”
Visitors can explore a diverse selection of brands, restaurants, cafés, a currency exchange, and a bank, all under one roof, thereby making Al Khawaneej Mall a comprehensive destination for shopping, dining, and daily services.
Developed on commercial land in collaboration with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment (MRHE), the project underscores a strong synergy between cooperative and government sectors to elevate community living standards in the emirate.
