Property developer Aldar Group has completed the construction of the new Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and has handed the family entertainment centre it contains over to Landmark Group six days ahead of schedule.

Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi

Landmark Leisure will operate the location at the mall, which will be the first of its kind and will cover 6,500sq.m with an “edutainment” theme for both children and adults. Custom-made interactive softplay structures will be incorporated into the location along with two completely new rides.

Yas Mall is Abu Dhabi’s first super regional shopping and leisure destination. Landmark Leisure COO Silvio Liedtke commented: “Our indoor entertainment project will boast world-class services with many ‘firsts’. Aldar Properties was an obvious partner for this project, given its similar mission of creating a globally renowned property.”

The mall is directly connected to the Ferrari theme park. The new Landmark Leisure FEC will be the first to carry the FunWorks brand, designed for the super regional locations.

All of the other Landmark locations have been Fun City, but now the company is branding according to size and content, ranging from Fun Ville, through Fun City to the super-sized FunWorks.
