West Cairo’s Mall of Arabia, one of the commercial projects built by Marakez for Real Estate Investment, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Fawaz Alhokair Group, was selected by the prestigious Professional Squash Association as the host venue for 2018/19 CIB Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Tour Finals from June 9 to 14, Invest-Gate reports.

Concluded with Egypt’s champions Raneem El Welily and Karim Abdel Gawad collecting the finals titles, PSA World Tour’s season-ending tournament took place at The Park, situated within Mall of Arabia’s The Expansion, which featured 1,000 seatings at each match, according to a press release on June 15.

Commenting on this remarkable achievement, Chief Business Development Officer of Marakez Ashraf Farid highlighted, “To host an international sports event with the calibre of CIB PSA World Tour Finals truly, demonstrates the quality and commitment to excellence both Marakez and Mall of Arabia are known for.”

The Park is the first-of-its-kind eight-acre outdoor space designed to host a wide variety of activities based on four main pillars, catering to the various needs of all family members: Entertainment, fitness, food and beverage (F&B), and sports.

The Expansion won the “Best Built Commercial Project” at the 2019 Cityscape Egypt Awards Ceremony; a testament to the company’s international standards and a boost to its portfolio of venues as a premier destination for events, health and wellness activities, dining options, and family entertainment, Farid added.

Currently, Marakez is implementing a strategic investment plan in Egypt, surpassing EGP 15 bn and focusing on the development of key projects in Cairo and other governorates.
