Following the Chairman, Abdul Rahman Barham, CEO of Tilal Development Company stated that MGM is an architectural marvel and a lifestyle symbol in downtown Muscat. He also mentioned that the second phase of the Tilal Complex is already underway and the next two years will see it emerge with numerous facilities for the residents and guests.
Tilal Development Company is the Sultanate's leading real estate company and has been credited with the completion of the ground breaking Muscat Grand Mall project, which has proven to be an immense success in redefining Muscat's retail space.
Since inception, Muscat Grand Mall has quickly established itself as the largest shopping mall and lifestyle destination in Oman with more than 120 outlets showcasing the cream of local and international brands across fashion, cosmetics, electronics, decorations, restaurants and cafes and a lot more.
The Tilal Complex encompasses the Muscat Grand Mall and covers a floor span of 250,000 square metres.
The multi-use development provides 30,000 sq metres of premium office space, half of which has been occupied by Nawras Head Office, and 250 superior freehold apartments offering a unique mall living lifestyle to residents. Towards the end of 2013, 115 four star hotel apartments will also join the league of the spectacular complex. With plans to continue expansion, yesterday's ceremony was a chance to celebrate the Tilal Development Company's achievements and showcase the new standard of facilities now available within the Sultanate.
Al Kiyumi further said, "Completing the first phase of the Tilal Complex has included many firsts for the Tilal Development Company and we are duly proud as it sets an impressive benchmark for the rest of the project. The vision for the project was for it to become a unique property in Muscat and be of significant value to the Omani economy.
The goal was not solely towards creating a profit making venture, rather to achieve worthy objectives such as to create more job opportunities for Omanis and make a better investment environment with special emphasis to the SME sector while also encouraging Omani's to participate in the private sector."
