Lahore: The governing body of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) on Monday allowed the civic agency to proceed with hiring a consultant for its flagship project, titled Walk ‘n’ Shop Arena, in Johar Town – a news source reported.
The consultant will be tasked with assisting the LDA in developing a business and marketing strategy for the project. The civic agency hopes to complete the project by August 2019.
The Walk ‘n’ Shop Arena – situated along the Khayaban-e-Firdousi in Johar Town near the Aleem Dar Cricket Academy – will feature Mughal, Chinese, American, Spanish, and Italian cuisine and architecture.
It will be the first transport-free mall project in Lahore. Additional planned facilities include shops and showrooms, walkways, food courts, and a park. So far, the civic agency has competed 85% of the development work on the project.
This proposed facility aims to attract local and international fashion brands and food chains under one roof. It will also provide a number of recreational facilities: zip line, horror house, virtual reality games, skating arena, amusement park, water slides, mini-golf course, bumper cars, amphitheatre, joy rides, as well as playgrounds for toddlers and kids.
