Savills Oman appointed as leasing agents for Muscat's Royal Opera House retail mall

As part of the Royal Opera House Development, the retail mall, yet to be officially named, will provide approximately 6,500 square meters of commercial space. Spread over two floors, the 60 shops and restaurant units will be complemented by substantial car parking and easy access following the recent road reconfiguration around the development.

Savills, a world leader in retail leasing, has been appointed to ensure that the retail mall is professionally marketed to quality international and local brands.

Christopher Steel, Managing Partner in Oman, said:

"The Royal Opera House is a symbol of the progressive approach the Sultanate has to the advancement of the arts and culture. It is only right that the retail mall that adjoins this iconic building shows the same strength of purpose and meaning. As such, the location will become home to some of the most renowned names of fashion, the arts and entertainment. We have been inviting interest from both the leading world names in retailing and local businesses and have been amazed by the response and support for this outstanding development.

"There will be a dedicated art gallery, high fashion outlets, perfumeries and renowned accessory and home ware stores. The restaurants and bistros will be particularly important to the success of this mall with residents and visitors to Muscat able to enjoy world class cuisine from the various eateries upon opening," he added.

The retail mall, now under construction, will feature artfully crafted public interiors using the best quality materials and finishes available. With majestically landscaped gardens surrounding the property, public car parking and now an exclusive shopping and dining address, The Royal Opera House is destined to become a much visited and loved landmark in Oman, if not the world.
