Mall Anchor Store Fit-Out
The Mall Anchor Store Fit-Out is a 3,200 m² retail anchor-unit project delivered by Al-Suhool in Sharjah, UAE, completed in 2023. The scheme pairs large-format light stone flooring and a multi-level recessed feature ceiling with warm walnut timber joinery and a fully glazed shopfront, creating a bright, premium customer environment finished to mall-handover standards.

Scope of works
- Full retail fit-out of a 3,200 m² mall anchor unit, from bare-shell to handover
- Supply and installation of large-format light stone flooring throughout the sales area
- Construction of a multi-level recessed (cove-lit) feature ceiling with integrated linear and downlight lighting
- Bespoke walnut timber wall panelling, full-height storage and display joinery
- Glazed shopfront and full-height window systems with city-facing views
- MEP coordination, integrated AV/screen provisions, and final QA/QC snagging to mall standards
Design & features
- Multi-tier recessed feature ceiling with concealed cove lighting for an even, premium glow
- Large-format light-toned stone flooring with minimal joints for a seamless retail floor
- Warm walnut timber joinery providing storage, display and wall-cladding in one system
- Full-height glazed shopfront flooding the unit with daylight and skyline views
- Decorative mosaic accent panel adding texture and a focal point against the timber
The challenge
Fitting out a 3,200 m² anchor unit to a premium standard meant delivering large-format stone flooring and complex multi-level ceilings flush and joint-free across a single open volume, while working within the mall's fixed handover programme and access restrictions.
Our solution
Al-Suhool delivered the unit with its in-house fit-out and stone teams, pre-fabricating walnut joinery and templating stone in its own workshop, then phasing flooring, ceiling and shopfront works under a single QA/QC programme to meet the mall's handover date.
The outcome
The completed 3,200 m² anchor store was handed over in 2023 on a bright, premium specification, ready for tenant merchandising and trading with zero outstanding major snags at final inspection.
