Muscat, Nov 11 - Palm Mall has been renamed Mall of Muscat and will be ready in the third quarter of 2018, with 75 per cent of the work having been completed. Speaking to the Observer, Mahmood Mohamed Ali al Jarwani, chairman, said the name of the mall was changed following a survey conducted by the company among tenants. They said this name was short and easy to recall. He added, “Nearly 100 per cent of the Phase I and part of the Phase II has been leased. The fit-out for the aquarium will begin from November 23.”
The project will include VOX cinema, hypermarket (Lulu), four-star hotel and service apartments and an amphitheatre. Once completed, it will generate 12,000 jobs for the local community. Last week, the company signed the syndication agreement with the banks, followed by other pacts with Alshaya Group, Lulu Group, Landmark, Al Othaim (Fabyland) and Omantel. In 2015, an agreement was signed for Dusit International Hospitality Group to manage and operate the hotel and suites at Mall of Muscat. The four-star project will include 150 guest rooms and 100 private suites.
