The agreement with Gulf Related and Al Tayer Group also includes plans for the second Bloomingdale’s department store in the UAE at the same location, which at 230,000 square foot will be the largest department store in the Middle East. The first Bloomingdale’s store in the region opened at The Dubai Mall in 2010.

Both landmark stores will be located at Gulf Related’s $1 billion, 2.3 million square foot retail development at Al Maryah Central and are scheduled to open in Spring 2018.

Each department store will be divided across four levels, with the Macy’s outlet set to take up 205,000 square foot of space.
