Dubai - The Dh260-million expansion and revamp of City Centre Sharjah is on track as 75 per cent of the work on the project is complete.
According to Majid Al Futtaim - which owns and operates the mall - said the expansion will result in new 12-screen VOC Cinemas multiplex, 30 new lifestyle stores, food and beverages outlets and additional parking space for 700 cars.
The redevelopment is part of owner-operator Majid Al Futtaim's planned Dh30 billion investment in the UAE by 2026.
Screening a wide variety of Hollywood, Bollywood and Arabic-language films, the 12-screen multiplex will have a vivid digital image projection system, Dolby Atmos and 7.1 multidimensional surround sound. Moviegoers can choose from the MAX experience with its super-sized screen and increased seating capacity, Gold by Rhodes - the new luxury in-cinema, gourmet dining concept - or KIDS which is designed especially for little guests. 
Among the 25 new outlet openings their doors will be Annabelle, Nayomi, Khaadi, Carpisa, Flormar, Home Box, Rivoli EyeZone, Life Pharmacy, Yateem Optician, Etisalat, UAE Exchange, Commercial Bank of Dubai and City Centre Clinic.
As well as investing in existing assets, the company plans to open 10 malls, 28 cinemas and 40 Carrefour hypermarkets by late 2020.
"The new lifestyle stores and dining options will offer a much wider variety to meet different tastes of visitors, right from the youth to families looking for a great time out. "Our repositioning of City Centre Sharjah reflects our commitment and investment in the Northern Emirates planned over the next few years, as we aim to contribute to bolstering the economy and tourism of the UAE with our world-class retail and leisure offerings," said Fuad Mansoor Sharaf, Managing Director for Majid Al Futtaim Properties, Shopping Malls.
