Dubai Marina, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Talbot Consultants International Inc. was recently retained by HOK Canada to assist them in designing the retail centrepiece the Dubai Marina project (see Town Centres link); an 825,000 sq. ft. enclosed shopping centre. Based on our retail planning experience in the Middle East we were asked to advise HOK & EMAAR on the layout and design, potential local & international anchors and the optimum selection, sizing & clustering of the retailers. We were also asked to advise on the sizing, layout and composition of the entertainment, food court and hotel components. Since the potential customers will primarily be residents (both local and expat) from the surrounding residential towers, office workers (both local and expat) from the adjacent Internet City and international tourists from the adjacent hotels particular attention was paid to the direct linkages to these areas so as to facilitate easy customer access & egress. The project is currently in the final design stage.
