Dubai Hills Mall, is the latest addition to Dubai Hills Estate, and will feature 2 million square feet of leasable space spread out over ground and first floor levels.
Dubai Hills Mall will also feature four major family entertainment and leisure centers. There will be a 20-screen cineplex, an outdoor concert area, a 65,000 square-food hypermarket and parking spaces for more than 7,000 vehicles. The Dubai Metro will be accessible via a direct link.
Located at the junction of Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Road the solar power facility will include 24,000 solar panels on the mall roof and is expected to produce 10,500,000 kwh/units of electrical energy in a year. The result means an offset of 4,620,000 kg of CO2 every year.
