Eagle Hills Sharjah, a joint venture between Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) and Eagle Hills, has awarded the contract for the main works of its Kalba Waterfront project to MJM Contracting. 

 

The contract involves the architecture, infrastructure and landscaping of the mall, which once complete will offer residents and visitors of the emirate an integrated leisure and shopping destination, combining the convenience of modern shopping, leisure and recreation amidst the serenity of Kalba’s natural lagoons, said a statement from Eagle Hills Sharjah.

 

Kalba Waterfront is strategically situated at the edge of the stunning Kalba lagoon, which is part of the Kalba Eco-Tourism Project. The opening of the mall is set for the second half of 2020.

 

Eagle Hills CEO Low Ping said: "We are fully committed to developing a unique leisure and shopping destination in Kalba, Sharjah through an innovative retail concept offering advanced shopping facilities complemented with a variety of outdoor experiences."

 

"Our latest agreement with MJM is an important milestone to realizing this one-of-a-kind development, in line with our commitment to supporting Sharjah’s growing tourism and leisure sector," she stated.

 

With a total built area of 20,000 sq m, Kalba Waterfront will feature a mix of retail, food and beverage outlets, a waterfront promenade and terraces, a supermarket, a large food court, as well as a family entertainment centre, said the developer. 

 

The mall will also offer outdoor dining venues, capitalising on the breathtaking views of the natural lagoon to provide recreational activities for families and tourists alike, it stated.

 

Ping said: "With MJM’s expertise in building high quality shopping centers, we are confident the company will deliver Eagle Hills’ vision of a world-class tourism and shopping destination."

 

"The construction of the mall will be in-line with our international standards and will complement Sharjah’s rich and natural heritage," she stated.

 

Besides Kalba Waterfront, Eagle Hills Sharjah is developing two major developments that will set new standards of residential living, hospitality, retail and lifestyle communities in Sharjah. 

 

The projects, namely Maryam Island and Palace Al Khan, along with Kalba Waterfront are set to become flagship destinations for locals and visitors, energizing and diversifying the local economy, creating jobs and attracting local and international investments, she added.-TradeArabia News Service
