North Souks Components

Cinema Complex [1] L-Shaped Restaurant Building [3]

The Cinema Complex is conceived as a major entertainment
destination in an avant-garde structure, comprising 14 cinemas,
including two VIP theatres, concession areas, retail, and a food
court. A freestanding structure unique in the Middle East, the
Cinema Complex has an area of 12,000 square meters for a
seating capacity of more than 2,000. This is about 7,000 square
meters or three times greater than the international norm for
this number of seats.
Located between Allenby Street and Khan Antoun Bey Square,
the building will accommodate three fine dining restaurants.
The Butcher Shop & Grill and Centre Ville Café are located on
the ground floor and will feature open-air seating on the
adjacent piazza while on the second level, seafood specialists Al
Sultan Brahim, will enjoy rooftop, terraced seating.

Located on the ground floor of the Cinema Complex, the Food
Court hosts four leading vendors – Kababji, Pinkberry,
Roadsters, and Zaatar W Zeit – around a common seating area
and circular ceiling, which evokes a giant carousel.
Khan Antoun Bey Square [4]
Through the dominant use of stone and water, the design of the
square incorporates the idea of the former port, which stood on
this spot and which connected the Souks to the sea. The square
is divided into two main areas: a lower plaza and a higher
circulation area around the Department Store. The first phase of

Family Entertainment Center [2] construction on the lower level is under way.

Extending over two levels and connected by a panoramic

footbridge to the neighbouring Cinema Complex, the Family
Entertainment Center – soon to open as Cosmo City – is
planned as a hub for the latest in gaming technology and will
feature redemption and soft play as well as outdoor and
rooftop sporting games.
Department Store [5]
Currently under construction, the project consists of a five-level
development comprised of a department store at the northern
end and a mixed-use facility – retail at ground and lower-ground
levels and serviced apartments on upper levels with a rooftop
restaurant – at the southern end.
