2.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The proposals have been developed in response to the RFP dated 18th April Further Studies for Schematic Design
2013 and Community Malls Development Brief dated May 2013 which identified
the requirement for 22,421m² of retail GLA and ancillary areas including common • Cinema accommodation for phase 2.
mall space, public toilets, plant areas and operational areas. • Site access positions.

The quality of the development is to be in line with the Furairah model. • Carrefour delivery area
• ATM locations.
Close attention to efficiency of space planning is a key requirement.
• Consider canopies to external seating areas.
In addition the client requested that an expansion strategy be developed to allow • HVAC supply route to malls.
for the mall to be extended at ground floor to 32,169 m² retail GLA in phase 2 and
then to add a first floor to give an additional retail GLA of 28,350 m². • Services distribution through mall (bulkhead, on roof or in tenancies).
• Vertical Transportation for phase 3 – escalator, travelator and lift pits.
We were requested to locate the mall to the North of the site to maximise space
for car parking in subsequent phases.
Questions arising for Schematic Design
The client has requested that the expansion of the building is achieved in a way
• Preferred position of building on site.
that does not involve the building of redundant space. The key challenge was to
allow for MEP expansion on the North side. We have achieved this at a concept • Deck car parking arrangement.
level subject to detailed study. • Roof car parking.
The expansion strategy has utilised most of the site for car parking in phase 2 • Preferred car parking layout (perpendicular or herringbone).
to achieve the required number of spaces. In phase 3 deck parking has been • Location and access arrangements for valet parking, taxi's and public transport.
introduced and options have been studied for a second deck and also parking on
the roof of the mall to reduce the deck parking.
Issues for Expansion
We have also looked at moving the mall to the extreme West of the site to • Carrefour loss of area due to additional escape corridor to rear of STR Units 1–3.
improve the views from the Northern highway approach and establish whether
the East side of the site could be freed up for other uses. A key consideration for
this arrangement is the balance of footfall into the scheme and we recommend
that the mall is located centrally on the site to maintain this balance for the benefit
of tenants at the West side.

4.1 ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT

A meeting place for the residents of a new community in Dubai,

Tecom Community Mall is a cool, shaded, contemporary marketplace.

COLOUR TEXTURE GREEN SHADE

 TECOM COMMUNITY MALL
DUBAI UAE

4.1 ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT

Zest is about creating a contemporary marketplace.

The building is accentuated by large planes, at key
locations north and south to give hierarchy to
significant building areas, such as the entrances
& signage panels. Projecting canopies shade the
entrances and brise soleil give shade to outdoor
dining areas. The southern promenade is articulated
through areas of feature paving and landscaping. The
exterior colour palette is fresh & bold.
 TECOM COMMUNITY MALL
DUBAI UAE

4.1 ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT

The mall is a lightly covered street. Light is filtered

from the north through the clerestory glass. The
ceiling slopes from north to south, recalling the
drape of canvas across an open air street. Pockets
of light are filtered from above. Street furniture &
paving reinforce the idea of the street. The street
has the ambience of a contemporary marketplace.

6.4 PARKING

6.4.1 Layout Development Strategy Figure 6 4, 90o Parking Module Figure 6 6, 72o Parking Module
In terms of cost effectiveness it is an aspiration for budgetary reasons to achieve
a parking efficiency (static) of better than 1 parking space per 35 m² of gross floor
area and any improvement over and above this value is clearly beneficial.

The principles to be adopted in deriving the parking layouts can be defined as:

• Direct access to park wherever possible

• Circulation systems which are logical and legible
• One way self reinforcing circulation systems
• Avoidance of crossroads on internal circulation routes
• Separation of circulation and parking access roads internally
• Avoidance of parking bays on circulatory routes
• Safe and logical pedestrian routing to welcome courts
Application of these performance criteria has trade-offs in terms of safety,
operations and space efficiency. The most space efficient options result from 90o parking module, as given in Figure 6 4, would accommodate parking on 72o parking module, as given in Figure 6 6, would accommodate parking on either

6.4.2 Parking Modules Figure 6 5, 90o Parking Module with Pedestrian Paths Figure 6 7, 72o Parking Module with Pedestrian Paths
The best performance derives from angle parking layout which provides self
enforcing circulation systems and high visibility of vacant parking spaces. These
efficiency advantages must though be weighed against the marginally better
space efficiency of 90o parking layouts. This can be minimised by laying out
the bays angled at 72o. However, as the parking aisles are relatively short, the
efficiency of the angle parking, even at 72o, is considerably reduced.

Other factors impacting parking efficiency are the car park shape, parking aisle
layouts and circulation and the provisions for pedestrians’ facilities such as
segregated pedestrian walkways. The rectangular shape of the car park has
been determined on the basis of the location of the car park in relation to the mall
building and in particular location of the welcome courts. We have investigated
several various parking aisle arrangements parallel or perpendicular to the Mall
building, with parking or no-parking on circulation aisles, with 90o and 72o
parking angle, or with or without segregated pedestrian walkways. These parking
modules are described in the figures and analysed in section 6.4.5.

90o parking module with pedestrian paths, as given in Figure 6 5, is similar to the 90o parking module with pedestrian paths, as given in Figure 6 7, is similar to the
90o parking module, with the pedestrian paths are placed away from the driving 90o parking module, with the pedestrian paths are placed away from the driving

6.5 ACCESSIBILITY & CIRCULATION

6.5.1 Overview
Access to the Mall from almost all development will be via the E311 Sheikh
Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and E44 Al Khail Road. The external road network
relevant to the development is shown in

Figure 6 2. It is envisaged that the development traffic will access the mall
from the Jumeirah Village Circle and Triangle will be using the E311 Sheikh
Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and its extension Al Fay Road where it merges with
traffic from Victoria Heights and Sports City Development at the roundabout on Al
Fay Road. Traffic from these roads will enter the Mall development from the south-
eastern side. The rest of the traffic from IMPZ, Jumeirah Golf Estate and other
developments in the south may access the from the internal road network and
can enter the Mall plot from either the south east or proposed new south west
access point. Arrival routes are shown in Figure 6 8.

Figure 6 8, Arriving Traffic Routes Figure 6 9, Departing Traffic Route

Departing traffic from the mall will mainly use the proposed new south west
access intersection which will allow the traffic to turn left in the eastern direction
leading to the Al Fay Road Roundabout via the internal roads or right in the
western direction leading to the E311/E44 interchange via the internal road
network and a newly proposed connection from the internal road to E311 service
road. The Departing traffic routes are shown in Figure 6 9.

Even though a full traffic Impact Study for the Mall has not been undertaken as
yet, and are waiting to receive the Traffic Impact Study for the IMPZ development
within which the Mall lies, assumptions have been made as to proportion of trips
that emanate from the adjacent catchment areas. These assumptions will need to
be validated when the traffic impact study is undertaken. Hence, this review has
highlighted the need for both of these access intersections.

The Valet cars will be driven by the valet drivers from the south western entrance
along the internal perimeter circulation road. Valet cars are proposed to be
parked in a specifically assigned area in the middle of the car park where it will be
separated from the patrons self parking areas. Valet cars will be returned via the

The roundabout is positioned to the left of the site in such a way that aligns with
local road south intersection because the right of way allows such junction size
without encroaching to other plots. A priority junction is also proposed on the
right side. Where majority of traffic will access the site via the priority junction,
the proposed roundabout will mainly allow left turn to and from the site. This
arrangement is shown in Figure 6 14.

6.6 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Concept Design Stage has considered a wide range of options in terms of
parking modules and access to both the car park and the servicing needs of the
whole Mall development. All options are based upon the principle of introducing
direct entry and exits routes that will serve the direction with the greatest
estimated trip generated.
The primary requirement is to provide safe and efficient access to the car park of
the Mall but high importance must also be assigned to the pedestrian, servicing

3.2.1 Mall Classification

The UFC does not comprehensively address mall buildings. Therefore, the
TECOM Community Mall will also be designed in accordance with NFPA 101
36.4.4.1

The central circulation route in TCM, exclusive of retail units, will be classified as
the Mall Pedestrian Way. The Mall Pedestrian Way shall be a minimum of 6100mm
wide at its narrowest point; exit access with a minimum width of 3050mm shall be
provided in front of the retail units on each side of the Mall Pedestrian Way (where
kiosks exist this minimum dimension that be provided between the retail units
and the kiosks); and the required exit access shall lead to a final exit which has a
minimum width of 1675mm.

Retail units are sub classified based on their area and number of stories. The sub
classifications are as follows:
· Class A – Retail unit with an area greater than 2,800m² or occupying more than
3 stories for sales purposes.
· Class B – Retail unit with an area ranging between 280m² and 2,800m² and
occupying not more than 3 stories for sales purposes or an area greater than
280m² and occupying 2 or 3 stories.
· Class C – Retail unit with an area less than 280m² and occupying only a single
storey for sales purposes.

The NFPA mall requirements allow for certain units to be classified as Anchor
Buildings. An anchor building is a tenant space housing any occupancy having
low or ordinary hazard contents and having direct access to a mall building,
but having all required means of egress independent of the mall. The use of the
anchor building provision benefits the overall exit capacity requirements of the
mall by allowing anchor buildings to be removed from the total GLA therefore
resulting in less exit capacity being required from the mall.

9.0 LOCAL AUTHORITY

APPROVALS STRATEGY
 TECOM COMMUNITY MALL
DUBAI UAE

9.1 INTRODUCTION

An efficient and well understood strategy for obtaining necessary statutory

approvals is fundamental to the commencing works at site in line with the
establish project programme.

This document aims to establish a matrix of all of the statutory approvals

necessary to allow a building permit to be in hand prior to the appointed
contractor starting on site.

EDP/Ecogreen will lead the approvals process with support from the involved
engineering disciplines.

Our site is within the IMPZ (International Media Production Zone) area of Dubai
and within the jurisdiction of DTMFZA (Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone
Authority). In this regard DTMFZA control all of the development approvals
such as land demarcation, soil investigation, preliminary and final design for
architecture, structural, roads and MEP engineering. Utility approvals remain with
DEWA and the Telecoms companies and the necessary civil defense approvals
will be obtained through DCD (Dubai Civil Defense).

The approvals process starts with the issuance of the ‘Site Plan’ to MAF. The
Site Plan is DTMFZA’s equivalent of the DM Affection plan. This document
establishes the coordinated site boundaries and the planning constraints placed
upon the development. Once in hand EDP will commence the approval process
sequentially and in line with the DTMFZA’s flow chart – refer section 9.2.0
DTMFZA Approvals Flow Chart.

In order to track the approvals activities and ensure that it remains in line with
the master programme, the Approvals Matrix, the Approvals Programme and the
Approvals Requirements documents are available in sections 9.3.0, 9.4.0 and
9.5.0 of this report. These documents are intended to give guidance to each team
member and ensure that they are aware of their submission responsibilities, the
programme constraints and the information that is required for each submission.

The approvals outside of the DTMFZA process which include DEWA, Telecoms
and Dubai Civil Defense are to be applied for in line with the well-established
criteria for these authorities. The programme dates for when these approvals
should be obtained by are highlighted in the approvals programme.

EDP will submit regular reports and update the matrix on the approval process to
ensure the team is fully briefed on progress.

9.6 CONCERNS AND ACTIONS MOVING INTO THE NEXT PHASE

The Site Plan should be issued from TECOM as soon as possible in order to
avoid impacting the approvals programme. Currently the programme has not
been affected however in order to get topographic and gate level information in
place prior to completion of schematic design it would be necessary to have the
affection plan within the first 2 weeks of July.

During the next stage of the design process, schematic design the following
approvals should be obtained in order to complete the stage:
