The Worlds 10 Largest Shopping Malls

The World's Largest Malls

1. South China Mall

Dongguan, China
Opened: 2005
Gross Leasable Area: 7.1 million square feet

In the Chinese mall arms race, this facility opened a year after the Golden Resources Mall to displace it as the country's--and the world's--largest. The space includes wind mills and theme parks, plus a replica of the Arc de Triomphe.




2. Golden Resources

Beijing, China
Opened: 2004
Gross Leasable Area: 6 million square feet

Not sprawling, this is a stacked-up, five-story mall. Approximately 1,000 stores, selling plenty of familiar global brands like Nike and DKNY. A truly ambitious real estate project, with new apartments and offices, surrounds the mall. A tough location outside the heart of the city has resulted in disappointing traffic from foreign tourists.




3. SM Mall of Asia

Pasay City, Philippines
Opened: 2006
Gross Leasable Area: 4.2 million square feet

Includes the first Olympic-sized swimming pool and first IMAX theater in the Philippines. Spread over four buildings, customers can get around on a 20-seat tram.



4. Dubai Mall

Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Opened: 2008
Gross Leasable Area: 3.8 million square feet

Shopping is done at 440,000 square foot Fashion Avenue, which houses elite and mid-level fashion names alike. An aquarium, ice rink and five-star hotel are also on hand to accommodate an expected 30 million visitors in the mall's inaugural year.




5. Cevahir Istanbul

Istanbul, Turkey
Opened: 2005
Gross Leasable Area: 3.8 million square feet

Europe's largest shopping mall has a roller coaster, wave pool and several IMAX theaters.





6. West Edmonton Mall
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Opened: 1981
Gross Leasable Area: 3.8 million square feet

The biggest in North America, the West Edmonton Mall has over 800 stores, along with attractions like a water park, skating rink, casino and rides.




7. SM Megamall
Mandaluyong City, Philippines
Opened: 1991
Gross Leasable Area: 3.6 million square feet

Fun stuff includes bowling, ice skating and a 12-screen movie theater, along with traditional mall fare like arcade games. Customers can also get a haircut or see a doctor at the Manila clinic.




8. Berjaya Times Square

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Opened: 2005
Gross Leasable Area: 3.4 million square feet

Built with an adjacent hotel and convention center. In addition to over 1,000 retail shops, the mall includes a 12-story-high roller coaster, plus a pool, skating rink and "Cosmo's World," a children's theme park.





9.Eastwood Mall Complex

Youngstown, Ohio
Opened: 1969
Gross Leasable Area: 3.2 million square feet

A throwback of mostly major department stores and chain eateries. But still one of the biggest.




10.SM City N. Edsa

Quezon City, Philippines
Opened: 1985
Gross Leasable Area: 3 million square feet

The first major "mega mall" built by SM Prime Holdings, which now claims three of the largest 10 in the world. It's a five-story complex that boasts over 100 retail outlets and restaurants, along with 12 cinemas, a bowling alley and skating rink. An IMAX theater could be added soon.

World’s Top Ten Yacht Owners

What’s a billionaire to do when the thrill of the private jet wanes? Head for the open sea in one of the new deluxe leviathans of the oceans – the bigger, the better.....

1. Sheikh Mohammed bin : Rashid Al Maktoum – Dubai, 525ft, was originally commissioned by the Prince of Brunei but construction stopped when his funds ran out. Sheikh Mohammed took over construction, and created the largest existing yacht.

Dubai, 525ft



2. Roman Abramovich : Pelorus, 377ft, Ecstasea, 282ft, Le Grand Bleu, 370ft. Eclipse is under construction at the moment, and at 550ft will replace the Dubai as the largest yacht in the world.
  
Pelorus, 377ft

Ecstasea, 282ft


Le Grand Bleu, 370ft


3. Larry Ellison : After having Rising Sun, 453ft, for only ten days, Ellison considered selling it: “I do still think it’s excessive. It is absolutely excessive. No question about it. But it’s amazing what you can get used to.”

Rising Sun, 453ft



4. Paul Allen : Octopus 417ft, Tatoosh 302ft. When completed, the Octopus had no berth, so Allen bought another yacht, Hanse, 162ft, in order to acquire a parking spot in the much coveted Yacht Club Marina in Antibes. Related Links

Tatoosh 302ft



5. Tom Perkins : Maltese Falcon, 289ft. Unlike most superyacht owners, Perkins, former husband of author Danielle Steel, has been sailing all his life and the Maltese Falcon was designed by him to be the fastest sailing superyacht in the world.

Maltese Falcon, 289ft



6. Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal : Kingdom 5KR, 282ft, was formerly owned by Donald Trump and was bought by the Prince for $18 million. After a complete refurbishment it is now rumoured to be worth $100 million.

Kingdom 5KR, 282ft


7. Philip Green : Lionheart 206ft. A yacht twice as big is under construction and his friends have apparently nicknamed the giant cruiser-to-be “Billion Dollar Baby”.

Lionheart 206ft



8. Bill Joy : Ethereal, 190ft, under construction (computer rendering left). Joy is the co-founder of Sun Microsystem, and has been dubbed “the Edison of the internet”. The Ethereal is his first yacht and set to be the most ecologically sound boat in history, as designed by Ron Holland.

Ethereal, 190ft



9. Valentino : TM Blue One, 152ft. The initials TM stand for his parents’ names, Theresa and Mauro.

TM Blue One, 152ft



10. Lakshmi Mittal : Approached by Larry Ellison when the latter was considering selling the Rising Sun, as he was one of the few people who could afford it, but Mittal opted to build his own, which is now under construction, shrouded in mystery and rumoured to be bigger than any of the others on this list.
