Union Coop has opened its newest retail hub, “Al Khawaneej Mall,” in Al Khawaneej 2, furthering its goal to expand services across key residential areas in the emirate.
Al Khawaneej Mall
Spanning approximately 70,000 sq. ft., the mall includes a hypermarket, a variety of retail and service outlets, and outdoor parking. It aims to serve as both a commercial and social space tailored to the needs of local residents.
Al Khawaneej Mall features a contemporary layout that focuses on shopper comfort and ease of movement. Its design includes open pathways, natural lighting, and minimalist aesthetics to enhance the user experience.
Key facilities included
The mall is anchored by a hypermarket and houses retail stores, service centers, a nursery, and an ENOC fuel station. Shoppers can also access restaurants, cafés, a currency exchange, and a bank on-site. Outdoor parking supports smooth access to the facility.
The official inauguration was attended by Majid Hamad Rahma Al Shamsi, Chairman; Mohamed Al Hashemi, CEO of Union Coop; and Thilal Bin Quraish Alfalasi, Support Sector CEO Assistant, along with other dignitaries and partners.
Speaking at the event, Al Hashemi said: “The project is much more than just a shopping center or a mall, but a thoughtfully designed social-retail space, which seeks to offer exceptional customer experience that aligns with state-of-art Dubai standard. The architectural style is flexible, family-centric and people-friendly.”
The development was built in partnership with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment (MRHE), reflecting cooperation between Union Coop and government entities to enhance residential living standards across Dubai.
