Dolmen Mall in Lahore to open in Q4 2024

Construction at Dolmen Mall in Lahore, Pakistan, is now in the final stages. The Mall is due to open in Q4 2024.

This 75,000m² GLA shopping centre, situated within the Defense Housing Authority grounds, will transform the shopping experience in Pakistan.

Dolmen Mall will offer three levels of retail: a hypermarket, cafés, restaurants, themed food streets, food courts, and leisure and entertainment facilities. Two levels of basement parking will also be available for 2,000 cars.

Designed by Chapman Taylor’s Brussels studio for Dolmen Group, this upscale state-of-the-art shopping is easily accessible from the Lahore Ring Road, allowing easy connectivity to the city of Lahore and neighbouring conurbations.

Design concept

The design uses traditional Islamic patterns on glazed surfaces, employing geometrical shapes to stunning effect. The context-appropriate façade uses subtle pastel colours and textures that complement the scheme’s landscaping, while a striking feature roof ‘drapes’ over the building, creating a wave-like canopy to emphasise the entrances.

An exceptional standard of external and internal amenities on all four levels is set to be distinctive, offering a variety of uses at different times of the day.
