Does anybody knows what is going on with the retail in golden mile along the park.

When can we get spinneys, paul, tim hortons etc...

It was suppose to be ready by last year!

nothing significant gone on with the plot since the big announcements of butterfly parks etc etc.


Nakheel to tender Palm mall development in third quarter



MEED (subscription)-14 May 2013

Nakheel to tender Palm mall development in third quarter. 15 May 2013, 6:24 GMT. Design is being reviewed to increase size ...

Nakheels reason for delay is plausible given the v high level of interest from retail brands looking for a presence in the mall.
I guess they could be trying to tweak the floor plans to squeeze out some extra footage.
It's no good inviting tenders and then when you get the price, changing the specification.
I doubt if the externals would change very much.
Having said that any delay of more than three months would look a bit suspicious.
