Dubai: Nakheel confirmed that almost a third of shop space at Nakheel’s new Circle Mall at Jumeirah Village in Dubai has been booked, less than two weeks after its launch.

Around 130,000 square feet at the new retail and leisure destination is accounted for, with upscale British supermarket chain Waitrose confirmed as the anchor store. The multi-screen cinema and most of the casual dining and food court space is also already taken, said Nakheel.

Circle Mall will have 200 shops, an anchor supermarket, two department stores, a cinema and a variety of dining outlets.
