Meydan One, nestled in the heart of Dubai is Meydan Group’s latest retail project envisioned to reimagine urban life in a mall that is more than a place for shopping but also a bustling lifestyle destination where people can live, work, enjoy nice dining and play. The ambitious project was presented at MAPIC 2018 in Cannes.

A sprawling multifunctional space
Because of the sometimes oppressive heat in the United Arab Emirates, people in Dubaï are spending a lot of time in shopping centers. Developpers must provide the shoppers a new experience, some extra soul to our contemporary way of shopping and having a great time. Thus began the development of Meydan One, the sprawling multifunctional space that is set to become more than a retail centre: a funfair, a holiday haven and a place to call home into one destination. Located in the heart of Dubai, Meydan One is just a short drive from Downtown Dubai, the Dubai International Financial Centre and Jumeirah. It is accessible through arterial road networks as well as public transportation options, such as Dubai Metro and Dubai Water Taxi via Dubai Canal.

The destination will serve as the epicentre of the Meydan One residential community, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City, a planned mixed-use development. The project will also be integrated with Meydan Racecourse that showcases Dubai’s strong equestrian heritage.
