The Best Arabia Mall in town – The Red Sea Mall

Red Sea Mall is a mixed-use property, which is quite different from Saudi Arabia shopping malls. It is a retail property that includes a five-star hotel along with high-end offices' tower. As per the researches that have been done, it is not easy to run a mixed use property on an international basis because it has different users and different approach in their service, and to combine such services together in one unit becomes really costly. In Saudi Arabia, there have been only three of the properties that have used these combined services and they are- Kingdom Tower, Faisaliah Tower, and Red Sea Mall. Another true fact about this mall is that in 2011, the mall was acknowledged with many prestigious awards locally and also globally. It received one of the most famous awards which are the Red Sea Mall 13 million visitors' award. Some of the other awards include:
  • Award of Excellence in Tourism given by the Tourism and Antiquities of Arabia for the best     marketing experience in the Kingdom
  • Award for Excellence in Retailing at Asian retail trade level
  • Gold Award for the Best marketing Campaign for increasing the level of sales in the Middle East  and North Africa.
  • Apart from the awards, this mall was also nominated for the VIVA Golden Award at the level of shopping malls in the world.

The opening success of this mall

In 2008, when the mall was inaugurated, there was a big challenge to it run since the city was affected due to the global financial crisis. A lot of global and regional retailers, who tried to open their stores at that time, put on hold their expansion plans because they were not sure about how long the impact of the world financial crisis would exist in Saudi Arabia. Due to such issues, the owners of the mall ended up doing one to one talks with all the retailers who had purchased a store there. In this way, they succeeded in opening nearly 75 percent of the mall in 2008. Since then, they have been growing constantly year after year. With the year 2017 setting in, there is now 98 percent of occupancy in the mall.
