There are 3,300 parking spaces allocated to the shopping centre. The design is based on five gigantic pebble-shapes inspired by ancient Arabian movements across the desert. The architect, Design International, wanted to offer both a strong architectural statement and an imposing gate into an oasis of calm and tranquillity in the otherwise hectic pace of modern suburban Dubai. Inside, the mall features nature at its most exquisite values, with five plazas that resemble the five elements of an oasis: The Cave, The Canyon, The Forest, The Lagoon and The Mirage. The foundation stone was laid on 19 April 2017 and construction of the mall was expected to be completed in a period of 30 months, in time for the launch of Dubai EXPO 2020. The mall was initially going to be named ‘Avenues Mall’ but was changed to Silicon Central prior to its opening.
