Oman Avenues Mall is gearing up to host the country's first IKEA megastore through its mall expansion development. The redevelopment project comprises large-scale infrastructure enhancements, including the introduction of a dedicated flyover extension to the development as well as bridges and the expansion of adjacent roads that will connect the property to major population-centric areas. The road connectivity and expansions are being completed under the prudent leadership of Al Taher Group, the developers of Oman Avenues Mall.
The developer has announced that the enhancement of the rear side road, behind the mall, to a four-lane road, will be completed in the next few days while the two bridges connecting the subject road to either direction of Sultan Qaboos Street are also fast progressing. The extension of the flyover connection to the mall is expected to be completed in the latter part of the year, however, the new street-level connection from Sultan Qaboos Street to the lower ground parking will be completed soon. These plans to expand the road network around the mall will contribute to enhancing the shopping experience.
“We are pleased that the expansion works of Oman Avenues Mall are on schedule. Al Taher Group is dedicated to delivering result-driven outcomes and this is because we are fully equipped to take on new global market prospects,” said Eng Saud bin Mohammed al Khalili, Development Director, Al Taher Group. “This project is a landmark development in Muscat that is advantageously situated to meet local demand in a burgeoning catchment area with a youthful demography and positioned to serve Oman's flourishing business and leisure visitor numbers,” he added.
In preparation for a projected increase in footfalls, new parking spaces are being created, which include 550 bays on the roof level and lower ground level. This will horizontally integrate the parking area to the second level and directly to the cinemas, food court and family entertainment centre. Likewise, an extension to the lower ground level parking will also connect another 500 spots to the mall, which will seamlessly link to the open parking on the mall’s north wing. Parking information will be made available through innovative directional signs, making it simple for visitors to locate available parking. The mall will also institute an exclusive parking area for loyal customers with special access to the mall through private lift access.
