The full explanation

The mall located in the Urban Island residential community district of Island A is a massive infrastructure anchor. While the overall physical footprint of the building may not be as large as the original Dubai Mall, the source highlights a critical distinction: the gross leasable area (GLA) in this mall is actually greater than that of the Dubai Mall. This indicates a highly efficient commercial design intended to serve as the primary retail and entertainment "Downtown" for the entire archipelago. By providing such a high concentration of leasable space, the master developer is ensuring that the 19 million room night shortfall projected for Dubai's tourism by 2030 is addressed through vibrant F&B and retail scenes that can accommodate millions of annual visitors. For a nearby investor in Siora, this mall provides a world-class amenity within the immediate catchment area without the high density associated with living inside the urban core.
