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.

Looking at the area of expo center on google maps.
There doesn't seem to be any area that big. It will probably just fit into one of those empty blocks next to the expo center which arnt that big.
Thats great news, finally Lahore is having a nice MALL...
Still a lot of hot air until we see renders, NOCs issued by the authorities and groundbreaking. Too many other "magnificent" projects by reputable developers and architects have been shelved for me to get too excited too early.
That area marked for a five star hotel is the site for this project and is 12.5 acres.

I had a question about expo centre, are hall 3 and 4 under construction? it sure looks like it on good map.
Yes 3 & 4 were U/C but not anymore, the work was stopped at the remaining halls.
^^
other project.
other project.
simply awesome..lets hope its a reality soon
I have marked this 5 star hotel
I have the whole PDF floor plans ect for this project since last year ill upload it
This is a render of the Packages mixed-use project near Bab-e-Pakistan, not the Crystals Mall project![]()

The neighborhood is different in these renders :dunno:
Yeah, those renders are for another project. It might be a while before they're ready for this one. But they'll probably be just as good.
That would make it about 50,000sq.m or 523,000sq.f, including parking and green spaces.That area marked for a five star hotel is the site for this project and is 12.5 acres.

High exaggeration in the article but never the less, its huge compared to pakistani standards and was much needed.
so there working on 2 mega malls then?
That Packages project is probably not moving forward while Crystals is. By the time it's designed and approved there'll be a new government and, assuming the economy is getting better, the project might get built.
