Asia's 'biggest' mall launches sales campaign in Dhaka -bangladesh.
The model of Jamuna Future Park, which is said to be the biggest shopping mall in Asia.
Jamuna Future Park, which is said to be the biggest shopping mall and entertainment complex in Asia, will kick off its sales campaign in December with a plan to open it for public by July 2010.
Sprawling over 33 acres of land in Baridhara, the park won the clearance of the city development authority, known as Rajuk, on October 21 after a six-year long legal battle.
One of the key objectives of the establishment of the park is to reduce the number of people going abroad for shopping and treatment, Nurul Islam Babul, chairman of the Jamuna Future Park, tod a press conference in Dhaka yesterday.
It would rather attract foreign businessmen and tourists to Bangladesh, he hoped.
The park's projected annual turnover is Tk 40,000 crore.
Babul said space at the park would relatively be expensive, with each square foot costing up to Tk 60,000.
“Small vendors will not be able to afford a shop at the JFP as it will be meant for higher and higher-middle-class people,†he said, expressing his high hope that the gorgeous park would escalate the economy of Bangladesh.
“As the twin tower has improved the image of Malaysia, the world will know Bangladesh by Jamuna Future Park,†said Babul.
The JFP will house over 4,000 shops of local and international brands, a food court with the capacity of 3,000 persons, a well spacious exhibition hall, a cineplex with seven hall rooms and an amusement park.
In addition, a 22-line bowling alley, health club, gymnasium, swimming pool and a banquet hall with the capacity of 500 persons will attract people from home and abroad, the journalists were told.
A five-star hotel and a hospital will be built on the JFP premises.
The centre will have parking spaces for 5,000 cars and is surrounded by a 26-foot ring road in order to allow customers to bring their own vehicles.
The JFP will set up its own power plant with a capacity of 45 megawatts to ensure uninterrupted power supply inside the complex.
An automatic system along with CCTV, auto alarm, surveillance and guard patrolling would ensure security.
Construction of the JFP started in 2001, but political disputes delayed the process. [/list]
