A hub of luxurious retail, social and contemporary outdoor lifestyle
City Walk statistics are impressive by any standards. The first phase, with 52 outlets, 350 metres of uninterrupted retail frontage and 600 parking spaces was opened in 2013. Phases 2 and 3, themselves subdivided and under construction will more than double the total amenity.
Flanked by a grand tree-lined walk evocative of European streets plus a unique lake and water feature, the venue hosts intimate concerts, weekly markets and exhibitions enhancing the overall appeal of the outdoor lifestyle concept. With splendid views of the Burj Khalifa in the foreground, City Walk offers a sensational shopping and dining environment.
Kinley’s involvementTo preserve and emphasise the crisp straight lines which are a feature of the extensive and attractive landscaping, the rigid version of Kinley’s AluExcel aluminium edgings was specified as superior in appearance and whole-life costings to more traditional products.

Kinley’s sponsorship of the 2016 Future Landscape & Public Realm Conference arose from the rapidly growing interest shown by both public and commercial specifiers in their range of innovative and ecologically sound outdoor lifestyle place-makers.
The excellent contacts made by Kinley during this milestone conference provided confirmation of the importance of the UAE market to Kinley and raised both opportunities and challenges. Radical advances such as BIM will clearly favour companies, such as Kinley, who are enthusiastically committed to upgrading both products and their involved service provision.

As a city that thrives on its retail culture and tourism revenues, Dubai certainly has some of the most sophisticated malls in the world, and always embraces the latest products and concepts.
