The Galleria is a closed, air-conditioned shopping mall which will comprise approximately 100 stores set across four levels of shopping and entertainment space. Spanning approximately 48,000 square metres of gross leasable space, the Galleria forms a major part of the retail offering at Msheireb Downtown Doha. The Galleria will comprise an anchor supermarket on the lower ground floor, multi and a six screen cinema. The mall will also feature dedicated entertainment zone for children, involving both educational and physical activities where children of all ages will be entertained in a safe and friendly environment. In addition to the Galleria, the area features a variety of other retail offerings which will not only attract visitors and tourists, but will also serve the thriving community which will soon be living and working in Msheireb Downtown Doha. Sikkat Al Wadi, the development’s largest pedestrian street, running the entire length of Downtown Doha will also provide a wide range of shopping options, including flagship stores in addition to fashion boutiques, restaurants, and cafes. “What sets the project’s retail offering apart from traditional malls is that it will integrate well-known international brands with smaller local brands or boutiques which will provide an authentic town centre atmosphere whilst keeping alive unique Qatari characteristics, traditions and heritage. In this way we hope to offer a more personal and appealing shopping experience than the massive shopping malls that are everywhere across the Gulf,” said Eng. Abdulla Hassan Al–Mehshadi, Chief Executive Officer at Msheireb Properties. Unique to the Msheireb development is its blend of casual and high street shopping, stylish plazas and community spaces. It will also host the region`s largest shaded open-air square, Al Baraha a family destination with restaurants and cafes featuring events and large scale shows, and special cooling devices known as ‘cool pools’ to refresh visitors at the hottest times of the year. Pedestrian friendly access from the main streets of the city and an underpass connection to Souk Waqif will further enhance the shopping proposition. Complementing this array of exceptional retail offerings will be the project’s efficiently planned infrastructure and transport system. Host to Qatar’s largest metro station, Msheireb has an integrated road network connecting downtown to the rest of the city. Retail will greatly benefit from parking provisions within three to five underground basement levels, including a dedicated service corridor for deliveries. State-of-the-art IT infrastructure will also enhance efficiency and the retail experience for shoppers and tenants alike.
