JOHAR TOWN | Emporium Mall by Nishat Group | MIX | 2.75 million sq. ft. | Complete
Architect Aedas has been appointed to design a 2.1m ft2 retail and entertainment park in Lahore, Pakistan.
The Crystals scheme includes cinemas, food courts, a hotel, retail space and wedding facilities.
The design is inspired by Pakistani jewellery design and craftsmanship.
Marcus Wilkins, Aedas divisional diector, said: “There has been an increase in demand for retail space in Lahore, essentially due to the large population increase and growth of diverse income groups. Aedas is delighted to play its role in helping the city to meet this demand as well as create a significant catalyst for the ongoing development of the area.
“The arrival of the scheme will form a striking backdrop for the area. The Aedas concept of colours, colours and textiles has been inspired by the rich jewelry design and craftsmanship that Pakistan is historically renowned for. We thought this was particularly apt as Lahore is renowned as the cultural capital of Pakistan.”
Crystals forms phase one of the Expo site masterplan in the south western region of Lahore.
Start on site is scheduled for March 2013 and will be completed within a three year timescale.

I think this design is for the one in india, as the line over the picture reads,"Architect appointed to design entertainment park in India, including cinema, food court and facilities for weddings"
No city name in title? 
Mod plz add Lahore in there and what's the size of Dolmen and The centaurus in sq ft?

I think they're just confused about whether Lahore is in India or Pakistan.
Dolmen is 550,000 sq. ft. and Centaurus is 400,000 sq. ft. If this is 2.1 million sq. ft. then it will be four times the size of Dolmen.No city name in title?
yeah 2.1m is huge. Dolmen is G+2, Centaurus is G+4 let's see how many it will have and the location etc.
from previous article it could be NISHAT GROUP making it
The Nishat Group has recently purchased a chunk of land near the Lahore Expo Centre from the Lahore Development Authority, and has reserved it for a hotel.

Could it be that site that was for sale for a hotel? I remember mentioning that it would be a great site for a shopping mall:

I want the mall to be built in traditional style, like Mall of Lahore. But that won't be happening right ?
^^That is the complete article shared by malpensa.
They are designing these all facilities under one roof? I think design will have separate building for hotel and one huge complex for mall, cinemas, food etc.
The ad mentions 118 Kanals. That's just 59,000 sq. ft :dunno:
You're calculating based on square meters.
118 kanals = 14.75 acres = 642,510 sq.ft.
If the project has several floors they can fit 2.1 million acres in it - that's assuming it's the same site.
oh ****, I forgot, it's not 59,000 sq. ft, it's 59k sq. yards. Which means 531,000 sq. ft.
1 Kanal = 500 sq. yards.
1 Kanal = 500 sq. yards.
You're still off a bit. One kanal = 1/8 of an acre = 0.125 acre = 505.857 sq. meters = 605 sq. yd. = 5445 sq. ft.
