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 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.
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.

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.

That 2.8 million will include all the built-up area, which includes the office tower and parking space. Even if the mall is half that size at 1.4 million sq. ft. it would still make it one of the largest malls in the world. Maybe one of the top 50.

Office tower or hotel tower??? In the first post article says a hotel tower with mall.

If the mall area is 2.1 million sq.ft it will be among top 25 largest malls in the world :D

^^ Obviously they'll open it before towers, It's already 3 floor above the ground and they'll open it to make some money from mall. So we'll have 4 hgh quality big mall soon in Pak.

Since Mall culture started in pakistan, its high time for pakistan/pakistani owned hypermarkets, rather than western dominated hypermarkets.
IMTIAZ. :cheers:
