Renovation
On May 2011, Burjuman announced the start of major renovation works to its North wing which was first opened on 1991, as part of its ongoing commitment to offer retail tenants and customers an enhanced shopping and entertainment experience.
The renovation phases are in progress since 1 year, with initial MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) work commencing immediately and structural work commencing in the last quarter of 2011. The renovation will be carried out in stages to ensure minimal disruption to the mall's normal operational activities during the entire period. Beginning 1 March 2013, The North Wing section which opened in 1991 had been closed for renovation.
The renovations aim at extending and architecturally unifying the mall's physical space as well as enhancing the shopping and entertainment experience, with the addition of new anchor tenants, including a major grocery store and multiplex cinema.
Key elements of the renovation include the addition of a fourth floor for the cinema complex and the extension of the third floor family entertainment area to include an extended food court. Following the renovations, the food court will be doubled in size and link directly to the Pavilion Gardens in the mall's South wing. Several new F&B brands are expected to join BurJuman's current dining offering.
In addition, the mall's north exterior entrance is set to be completely redesigned and an al fresco dining area added to the wing to match the design of the south wing.
Once the renovation phases have been finalized, the total retail area will be increased from 800,000 square feet to 1 million square feet.
