Dubai Is Spending Nearly $7 Billion To Build The World's Largest Mall
Dubai Holding
The new real estate venture is part of a project to build an air-conditioned city. Dubai officials hope the projects will stimulate the economy following the 2009 debt crisis.
The 48 million square foot complex - an air-conditioned network of 100 hotels, a theme park, and theaters - will be developed by Dubai Holdings for approximately $6.8 billion, Ahmad bin Byat, Dubai Holding's Chief Executive, told arabianbusiness.com.
While the entire project is estimated to take a period of at least 10 years to complete, the 8 million square foot mall will be ready in approximately three years.

Until the "mall of the world" is complete, the world's largest mall is the New China South Mall. The approximately 7.1 million square foot Chinese mall is located in Dongguan and notoriously void of shoppers.

During Dubai's boom years, 2006 to 2008, Dubai Holding borrowed so heavily from banks to fund growth and ended up hitting a huge real estate bubble burst leading to the cataclysmic 2009 debt crisis.

Dubai's unprecedented luxury and extravagance along with massive retail projects are key ingredients in making this city the economic powerhouse of the Islamic world.
