BNC Exclusive: Sobha Realty Breaks Ground on Luxury Mall in Sobha Hartland

Sobha Realty, a leading global luxury real estate developer, commenced the construction of a first-of-its-kind mall for its flagship community, Sobha Hartland, in the heart of Dubai. With an estimated cost of USD 57.18 million (AED 210 million), this endeavor blends the vibrancy of retail space with the serenity of an urban park, ensuring exceptional experiences for residents and visitors alike. The design has been completed by PNC Architect, and the main construction will be carried out by Sobha Constructions, their in-house company, eliminating the need for a contractor tender. Currently, enabling work is in progress, and the mall is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2026.

The new mall is being meticulously designed to set new standards for luxury malls, perfectly combining nature, culture, gastronomy, and recreation. With a built-up area of approximately 339,000 square feet and a gross leasable area of around 115,000 square feet, it will house a variety of amenities, including a supermarket, gym, play courts, a soft play/entertainment zone, and diverse restaurants offering a wide range of food choices. Featuring 35 retail shops and F&B outlets, along with over 10 unique dining options, it will establish a new gastronomic destination for the community.

In line with Sobha Realty’s commitment to sustainability, the mall will feature greenery, water features, natural lighting, energy-efficient lighting, solar panels, green building materials, and a skylight roof for natural light. Innovative technologies such as interactive displays, smart lighting systems, and digital wayfinding will be integrated to enhance visitor experiences. The architectural design includes a vibrant bowl with a cascading void stretching from the basement to the roof, creating a dramatic retail experience, and a media screen strategically placed on the facade to enhance visibility. The biophilic design includes green walls, water features, floating pods, and natural lighting to foster a serene atmosphere.

This development marks Sobha Realty’s strategic foray into the UAE’s retail sector, emphasizing its commitment to delivering exceptional living experiences. The mall prioritizes the convenience and evolving demands of consumers in the community, offering a curated retail mix for everyday and specialty needs, diverse global dining options, and ample parking spaces. Furthermore, its strategic location ensures excellent views from Ras Al Khor Road. The environmentally conscious design, featuring sustainable materials and energy-efficient technologies, underlines Sobha Realty’s dedication to enhancing the quality of life for Sobha Hartland residents while promoting environmental stewardship.
