A new shopping mall and hotel are set to open in Motor City early next year as part of an investment worth AED500 million that will drive development in one of Dubai’s most sought-after suburban quarters.
First Avenue, based at the edge of the Dubai Autodrome, will have 70 high-street retailers and 15 casual dining restaurants. The four-star 150-room hotel, which adjoins the mall, will be operated by Park Inn by Radisson. The hotel overlooks the race track at Dubai Autodrome.
First Avenue will be a social and retail hub for the Union Properties-developed Motor City, with a distinct automotive and lifestyle theme. The two-storey development stretches across 500,000sq/ft, with a one-kilometre roadway linking each end.
The development, owned and operated by Saudi Arabia’s Al Tawfeeq for Development and Investment (ATDI), will open in the first quarter of next year. First Avenue is strategically sited in a rapidly growing suburban area of Dubai, close to Sports City, Arabian Ranches, Al Barari, Silicon Oasis, Nshama, Mudon, Studio City and Dubai Production City. It is a short drive from Maktoum International Airport and the Expo 2020 site.
First Avenue will have a children’s entertainment area, as well as an underground car park with 400 spaces.
The Park Inn by Radisson will have 150 rooms, all-day restaurant, lobby, meetings and events space, gym, spa and swimming pool. It can be accessed directly from the mall.
The development is located at Dubai Autodrome, which is open throughout the year offering indoor and outdoor karting, racing experience and a laserdrome. Dubai Autodrome is a world-class motorsport facility, with national and international races and suites for corporate hospitality.
Dr Ramy Moussly, ATDI General Manager, said: “This is a project differentiated by the excitement of the race track and the contemporary style of the shopping and hotel experience, set against the backdrop of a rapidly growing suburban quarter of Dubai.”
