A smoothly glittering glass suit on the outside and fully lined with marble on the inside is the Crystal Plaza complex, set to become the latest addition to Sharjah's fast-expanding shopping mall membership list. The three-tower complex - two 17-storey towers for residential apartments, with four apartments per level translating into 136 units, and another 17-tier high-rise offering space for 64 offices - is set to open its doors very shortly, with the residential units already open for rent, and the office tower to be completed in June. The mall itself is also likely to open around that time.
The property commands a scenic panorama of the Buhairah Corniche, standing guard as it does at one end of Khalid Lagoon. The strategic location, as also the elegantly-appointed complex itself, with interiors that spell quality at every turn. As for the mall itself, the complex is set to house around 250 shops on the ground, mezzanine and first floors. The individual outlets will include a combination of product showrooms, cafes and leisure pastime units, including 'Happy Land' for children. All at the higher levels will also enjoy a panoramic view, given each tower's octagonal shape, as also fully grassed walkways, swimming-pools, tennis courts and similar facilities constructed at an elevation atop the mall.
The target market would be on continuing to attract families, with family-oriented shopping to remain the norm - even as the host of prestigious projects that have mushroomed all over the emirate continue to drive up the demand for land. (The Gulf News Special Report)
