Wednesday 4th July, Dubai (United Arab Emirates): Souq Extra held an event at the Dubai SIlicon Oasis center to commemorate the launch of DSO Phase 1 and the ground breaking ceremony for the development of Phase 2.
Located on the Academic Road on the Western edge of DSOA, Souq Extra is a mixed-use development which will serve and enhance the needs of the local community. Phase 2 of the development will see the extension of the current community mall, as well as the construction of a new Mosque in the neighboring plot.
The new retail space will provide an even more enhanced retail experience in the area, with the new extension bringing in many new amenities that are deemed essential for the everyday welfare of the neighboring community. The 7,500 square meter project will encompass a striking glass facade facing the main access road and will significantly add to the fabric of the area in question.
Full consideration has also been given to the contrasting commercial and religious aspects of the retail and Mosque design, with the latter expected to strike a perfect balance between modern and traditional. The Mosque will be able to accommodate over 300 worshipers.
The design and construction of phase 2 of the mall development and Mosque are expected to be completed within one calendar year and is being lead by award-winning architectural firm RMJM.
