Fitting out a store inside a major UAE mall is a different discipline from a standalone unit. On top of design, joinery and MEP, you have developer fit-out guidelines, tenant-coordination, barricade and handover protocols, and out-of-hours working — all on a fixed opening date. Sinas Interior has delivered mall fit-outs since 1986, with 1,000+ projects and a 300+ strong in-house team, so the mall process is routine, not a risk.
Malls we have delivered in
We are experienced across Dubai’s leading retail destinations — including Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Festival City and City Centre Mirdif — and the differing fit-out requirements of their developers. That familiarity means fewer review cycles, cleaner submissions and faster approvals.
What our mall fit-out covers
Turnkey, single-contract delivery: developer fit-out submissions and tenant-coordination; concept and shop-drawings; bespoke joinery from our own facility; MEP (power, lighting, HVAC, low-current); specialist finishes; and full authority approvals (Dubai Municipality, Dubai Civil Defence). We handle barricade graphics, deliveries and snagging to each mall’s protocol.
Approvals managed end-to-end
We prepare developer and authority documentation up front and run the two approval tracks in parallel, keeping sign-off off the critical path so the store opens on its committed date.
Live-trading discipline
Works are sequenced around trading hours, with noise, dust and delivery managed to mall rules so neighbouring tenants are never disrupted.
Selected mall work
Our mall portfolio spans luxury, fashion, watch and jewellery retail. A recent anonymised example: a Luxury Watch Boutique at Mall of the Emirates, delivered turnkey within a live mall to a fixed handover, with full tenant-coordination and Civil Defence approval.
