Box Park will be a revolutionary lifestyle destination where urban chic meets contemporary sophistication. Providing a refreshing alternative to sprawling, insular malls, the concept will feature an eclectic mix of restaurants, cafes and high-end fashion outlets, intermingled with open spaces and amenities.
Following the example set in other cities such as New York, London, Paris and Christchurch, where similar temporary ‘pop-up’ structures have been erected, 8×8 will be a permanent destination where all kinds of people including residents and tourists can spend a memorable and fun-filled day out. A spatial experience that is inviting, comfortable, engaging and memorable, this self-contained destination will be a place to shop, dine, relax and soak up the outdoor ambiance.
Nestled in the heart of Jumeirah, Box Park will serve as a seamless addition to the surrounding community and is set to become the new social hub of Dubai.
