Kuwait, December 9, 2012

 

Kuwait-based United Real Estate Company (URC) said its shopping mall in Jordan has signed an agreement with Azadea Group Holdings, a premiere fashion and lifestyle retail company, to lease 17 of its most renowned global brands.
 
A leading real estate developer headquartered in Kuwait, URC is the marketing consultant and leasing agent for the 227,000 sq m Abdali Mall project.

Abdelmajid A. Kabariti, the URC chief executive officer (Jordan) said, “This project will provide thousands of work opportunities for Jordanians and will certainly alter the shopping and entertainment landscape in Jordan, the ongoing success of these projects is a clear indication of the size of the Kuwaiti investment in the project."
 
"Having Azadea onboard will certainly add to the appeal of the mall and strengthen the strategic partnership that both companies share," he noted.
 
Abdali Mall will be featuring 17 of Azadea's most famous international brands that include Zara, Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear, Bershka, Oysho, Promod, SGH, Paul, I am, Calzedonia, Argo Tea, Salsa Jeans, Gymboree, Intimissimi, Punt Roma, Tezenis and Pepe Jeans. 
 
Commenting on the deal, Renimah Ali Al-Mattar, the executive VP at URC and Abdali Mall Company board member said, "We have carefully designed the tenant mix and leasing strategy for this development and Azadea’s brands will be instrumental in driving the appropriate target audience and footfall to Abdali Mall."
