Jabi Lake Mall
London, UK
Jabi Lake Mall is a 31,560m2 development designed to be a one stop leisure, restaurant and retail destination. The site sits on 5 hectares of land and is located ten minutes from the central business district on the shores of Jabi Lake in Abuja, Nigeria.
The two storey mall will feature contemporary architecture and a lakeside boardwalk with views over the water. Cinemas, restaurants, cafes and a children’s arcade will also feature.
Jabi Lake Mall is the first part of a vibrant new 35 hectare mixed use development within Jabi, in a bid to make the region become Abuja’s number one destination to live, work, shop and be entertained.
Flagship stores Shoprite and Game, a Walmart subsidiary, have already signed up as anchor tenants for 10,000 m2 of space.

"The New Student Centre provides dynamic space with overlapping adjacencies between many student activities, a lively building with an open welcoming atmosphere. We have worked closely with the students and staff to develop a site-specific architectural design, tailored to the particular characteristics of the LSE brief and maximizing the 3-dimensional potential of the urban situation."
