Leading developer Nakheel has officially opened its retail and dining destination – The Golden Mile Galleria – on Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, bringing dozens of new shops, cafés and restaurants to the island.

The 400,000-sq-ft complex was declared open by Nakheel chairman Ali Rashid Lootah at a ceremony last month.

Located beneath the 10-building Golden Mile residential complex, the destination offers everything from bespoke tailoring to beachwear and diamond jewellery to dry cleaning and has 1,600 underground parking spaces.

Golden Mile Galleria is one of 10 new large-scale projects in Nakheel’s growing retail portfolio, and one of a range of new Nakheel retail, entertainment and hospitality projects at the island. Others include The Pointe, Nakheel Mall, The Palm Tower, Palm Gateway, Palm Promenade and The Boardwalk, which, between them, will offer hundreds of new retail, dining and leisure facilities.
