Works at The Point near completion

Works on The Point, a new large shopping centre in Tigné Point in Sliema, have reached a very advanced stage and the coming weeks will see the works on all the flagship stores and common areas draw to a close, the developers said today.

The Point, spread across a footprint of 14,000 m² with feature 45 retail outlets over three levels, including some of the most renowned fashion and family brands on the market.

"The Point is the next step in the evolution of retail in Malta and this is due to the number of advantages that this destination offers," said Edwin Borg, General Manager of The Point.

"Many of the brands located at The Point do not merely have a presence but are proper flagship stores, representing a host of international labels under one roof. At the far end of the mall are the anchor outlets which reflect the continental model upon which The Point has been designed and mapped out. The wide walkways and common areas as well as a spacious atrium will all contribute towards a greater shopping experience. The inclusion of a major supermarket as one of these anchor outlets makes visiting The Point a complete one-stop shop experience," added Mr Borg.

He explained that for added convenience, all traffic into the development has been routed underground where it can use Sliema's largest car parking facility with benefits all visitors using shopping, dining and entertainment facilities both within the Mall and around the adjacent Pjazza Tigné.

All the mechanical and electrical installations at The Point were completed last year, and tenants are now finishing and fitting out their stores.
