Pakistan's richest man, invests in Pakistan's biggest Mall

[SHAMK9]

Architect Aedas has been appointed to design a 2.1m ft2 retail and entertainment park in Lahore, Pakistan.

The Crystals scheme includes cinemas, food courts, a hotel, retail space and wedding facilities.

The design is inspired by Pakistani jewellery design and craftsmanship.

Marcus Wilkins, Aedas divisional diector, said: “There has been an increase in demand for retail space in Lahore, essentially due to the large population increase and growth of diverse income groups. Aedas is delighted to play its role in helping the city to meet this demand as well as create a significant catalyst for the ongoing development of the area.

“The arrival of the scheme will form a striking backdrop for the area. The Aedas concept of colours, colours and textiles has been inspired by the rich jewelry design and craftsmanship that Pakistan is historically renowned for. We thought this was particularly apt as Lahore is renowned as the cultural capital of Pakistan.”

Crystals forms phase one of the Expo site masterplan in the south western region of Lahore.

Start on site is scheduled for March 2013 and will be completed within a three year timescale.

The design is by Aedas, at least they managed to put Pakistani models in there

Looks really nice
Now if only some of that money was also used to set up world class learning institutions! Would benefit Pakistan more in the long term.

When you know NOT of the environment of the other nation.. then best not to comment on it. The environment you might see in a mall in Karachi is not much different in what is portrayed in these artistic impressions.. the only odd thing odd is the Sheiks in thawbs.

While I am ready to take your words at face value, I would still find it weird if I see a girl wearing shorts or miniskirt in public in Pakistan. And yes the sheikhs are not exactly what I would expect to see either.

I am still waiting for the day when Pakistan's Richest Man decides to make Education Free for Pakistan's needy Students upto High School ( Intermediate ) Level.

Everything in Pakistan is for the Upper-Middle class and the small elite. No one cares about the poor of Pakistan i.e the majority of the nation.
