Dubai Square Mall Set to Open in Three Years with EV Facilities and AI-Powered Retail

Dubai is preparing for one of its most ambitious developments yet as Dubai Square Mall, the centerpiece of the Dubai Square project at Dubai Creek Harbour, is set to open within the next three years. Developed by Emaar Properties, the mega mall will span an area three times the size of Downtown Dubai and carry a development cost of Dh180 billion, making it one of the region’s largest shopping and entertainment destinations.

The mall will cater to the UAE’s growing electric vehicle (EV) market by offering dedicated EV facilities, aligning with Dubai’s shift toward modern, sustainable infrastructure. Plans also include a drive-through mall experience and the integration of artificial intelligence to enhance retail operations, visitor services, and overall shopping convenience.

Dubai Square forms part of a much larger 7.4 million square metre residential and lifestyle district within Dubai Creek Harbour. The project includes 10,000 residences, more than 1,500 hotel rooms, pedestrian-friendly streets, and 500,000 square metres of green spaces. Additional attractions include a rooftop waterpark, a technologically enhanced ice adventure zone, and the new Music, Colour and Fire Plaza, supported by advanced Chinese technology.

The development also incorporates the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, further enhancing its environmental and tourism appeal. A new metro link connecting Dubai International Airport to Dubai Square is also planned.

Despite earlier delays, Emaar founder Mohamed Alabbar confirmed that construction is now progressing on schedule, with the entire destination expected to open within three years.
