Dubai Retail, part of Dubai Holding Asset Management, has announced Skylight Mall, one of the newest major regional shopping centers in Dubai, with the destination scheduled to open in 2027.
Once the new mall opens, the number of shopping and entertainment destinations in Dubai Retail’s portfolio will rise to 58 across the emirate, reflecting the group’s continued expansion and its focus on developing destinations that respond to the market’s evolving needs.
The project is part of Dubai Retail’s wider efforts to create integrated destinations that bring shopping, entertainment, and essential services together in one place.
Skylight Mall to Offer an Integrated Shopping and Entertainment Experience in Dubai
Skylight Mall has been designed as a major regional shopping destination that will bring together a broad mix of retail stores, restaurants, entertainment options, and everyday services under one roof.
The mall is intended to provide visitors with a varied experience, whether they are shopping, dining, spending time with family and friends, or making use of the services available at the destination.
With its scale and range of offerings, Skylight Mall is expected to become a significant addition to Dubai’s retail sector and provide residents and visitors with even more options.
The destination will combine different experiences within one location, allowing visitors to move easily between shopping, dining, entertainment, and social spaces throughout their visit.
Strategic Location on Al Khail Road
Skylight Mall will be located on Al Khail Road, giving it a convenient position to serve several established residential communities in the surrounding area.
The mall will serve residents of Jumeirah Village Triangle, Jumeirah Islands, The Springs, and nearby communities.
Its location on Al Khail Road will also provide convenient access from different parts of Dubai, making the destination accessible to both nearby residents and visitors traveling from other areas of the city.
The location places the mall within easy reach of a number of surrounding communities while supporting convenient access across Dubai.
More Than 360 Stores Across 1.3 Million Square Feet
Skylight Mall will span a total gross leasable area of 1.3 million square feet and will feature more than 360 stores.
The size of the development will allow it to accommodate a wide range of retail, dining, entertainment, and service offerings, giving visitors access to a diverse selection within a single destination.
The mall’s large retail footprint and broad tenant mix are expected to make it a notable addition to Dubai’s regional shopping landscape.
With more than 360 outlets planned, the destination will provide visitors with a wide variety of choices when it opens.
Contemporary Architecture and a More Seamless Visitor Experience
Skylight Mall will feature contemporary architecture designed around spacious interiors and carefully considered architectural details.
The design will create a sense of openness throughout the destination while allowing the different areas of the mall to connect naturally with one another.
Shopping, dining, entertainment, and social spaces will be integrated in a way that supports smooth movement across the mall and gives visitors an easy, varied experience throughout the destination.
The overall design will combine spaciousness with architectural detail, creating an environment in which the different elements of the mall work together as part of a unified visitor experience.
A New Addition Supporting Dubai Retail’s Continued Expansion
Skylight Mall will become a new strategic addition to Dubai Retail’s growing portfolio.
The development reflects the company’s continued commitment to creating high-quality destinations that keep pace with changing market needs and support Dubai’s ongoing urban growth.
The project also strengthens Dubai Retail’s presence in the retail and entertainment sector as the company continues to expand its portfolio of destinations across the emirate.
Skylight Mall forms part of this broader approach, adding another large-scale retail destination to the group’s existing network.
A Diverse Portfolio of Leading Dubai Destinations
Skylight Mall will join Dubai Retail’s diverse portfolio of shopping centers and entertainment destinations across the emirate.
The portfolio includes a number of well-known shopping destinations, including Palm Jumeirah Mall, Nad Al Sheba Mall, Ibn Battuta Mall, Dragon Mart, and The Outlet Village.
It also includes prominent leisure and lifestyle destinations such as Bluewaters, JBR, Souk Madinat Jumeirah, and Palm West Beach, along with a number of strategically located shopping centers across Dubai.
Together, these destinations form one of the region’s most diverse retail portfolios and attract millions of residents and visitors each year.
Skylight Mall will further expand that portfolio when it opens, adding another large regional shopping destination to Dubai Retail’s network.
