The Nad Al Sheba Gardens Mall will be set over two storeys and designed as a pavilion gateway to the extensive landscaping of the Nad Al Sheba Gardens masterplan – it is part of an overall enhancement of the development, its amenities and infrastructure, and will feature a variety of retail options, F&B outlets, a nursery, and health and fitness amenities.

The new mall will perfectly serve the community, acting as a central meeting point for residents to create and build meaningful connections, which is a core ethos of Nad Al Sheba Gardens.”
Sunil Kumar, CEO of Spinneys, commented: “We are delighted to continue our growth in the UAE with the planned opening of a new Waitrose store at Nad Al Sheba Gardens Mall.

Waitrose at Gardens Mall will bring the best of British and international produce to the community, offering a premium shopping experience.”
Built with materials that will allow it to sit harmoniously within the landscape and featuring a natural colour palette, the mall’s architecture will integrate with the landscaped parking and surrounding parks, enabling a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The light steel roof, supported by vertical columns, enhances the open, airy ambience, and shaded colonnades, whilst indirect natural light adds to the tranquility.
Dennis Vermonden, Associate at Loci Architecture and Design said: “The thoughtfully considered design and construction of Nad Al Sheba Gardens Mall perfectly reflects its serene, tranquil surroundings, capitalising on the beautifully landscaped environment.

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) today held its annual New Year’s Address, with Executive Chair Euisun Chung outlining the Group’s focus for 2025: overcoming challenges through a commitment to innovation, embracing change, and further strengthening teamwork.
Held at Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang, near Seoul, this year’s event adopted a new format to drive in-depth dialogue among attendees, discussing the global business environment for the year ahead and the Group’s strategic direction.
Executive Chair Chung began by thanking Hyundai Motor Group employees around the world. “We achieved a lot last year,” he said. “These achievements were the result of your tireless efforts to deliver the quality, trust and experience our customers expect. I extend my deepest gratitude to you all.”
He continued by emphasizing the importance of facing both internal and external challenges over the year ahead, as well as the potential for global growth across the Group’s operations by overcoming adversity through its commitment to innovation, further strengthening teamwork, and a proactive approach to creating future opportunities.

“Our greatest asset is our people. Their talent and resilience mean we do not retreat when we face adversity – we innovate,” said Executive Chair Chung, closing the roundtable. “We embrace challenges as opportunities to grow stronger and to shape a brighter, more sustainable future. We will continue to work together in 2025 to further strengthen Hyundai Motor Group’s collective vision.”
