Valued at AED 500 million, Mirkaaz will be the first mall in the UAE to feature a sprawling Atrium Roof of more than 7,900m2, constructed using ETFE Technology to provide natural UV light within the mall, allowing natural growth for plants, and scenic day/night sky views to all visitors thus creating a shopping experience on a whole new level. The construction of the mall being built over one million square feet of land will start in January 2018 and when completed in the last quarter of 2019 the mall will host a hypermarket, sprawling over 15,000 square metres and also encompass more than 100 stores for people to shop to their hearts content.
“Mirkaaz is in line with the ambitious Ajman 2021 initiative, which will set unprecedented standards for Ajman’s economy. The construction of the mall will lead to more than 1100 blue-collared workers and 50 engineers on site, offering direct and indirect job opportunities,” added Mr Yahya Al Jasmi.
With the world's most prestigious retail and dining outlets to be showcased at the mall, the retail industry in Ajman will receive a boost in its GDP growth. Currently, the non-oil sectors recorded a growth of 3.1 per cent in 2017 and will grow to 3.7 per cent in 2018 - reflecting the strength and soundness of the UAE's development policies.
Mirkaaz is the latest development of Ajman Holding, a strategic organization with a diverse range of subsidiaries and associate companies in the UAE. Strategically located at the juncture of Sharjah and Ajman, and near both Sharjah International Airport and Dubai International Airport, the shopping destination will be easily accessible via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.
