Tigné Point is a development by MIDI that includes spectacular apartments and penthouses, offices, a club house, a vibrant car free central piazza and a brand new shopping mall called “The Point”, all situated on an impressive rocky headland in the most fashionable district of Malta, with views of the Mediterranean and the magnificent, expansive, natural harbour.

The Point Retail Centre is set to become the largest shopping mall on the island with over 14,000 sq. metres of retail space when it officially opens in spring. It has been constructed at a cost of some e56 million to designs created by the London based firm of retail and office design consultants, GMW and leading local architectural practice aoM partnership.

The Point retail centre within the impressive Tigné Point development is spread on four floors with the lowest floor entirely dedicated to car parking.

It will be anchored by Debenhams, which will be offering 3,000 sq. metres of department store.

The adjacent Piazza Tigné will offer boutiques, outdoor cafes and restaurants while The Point will provide a plethora of shopping delights including Massimo Dutti, Mango, Guess, Lacoste, Stradivarius, Gant, Reebok, Nike and many other international brands.

A state-of-the-art supermarket is to be part of the mix and will complete the self-contained destination for residents who will have everything from coffee shops and designer stores to chic restaurants and exciting retail opportunities within walking distance.

Edwin Borg, general manager at the Point, who has been involved with the project for the last three years, said, “The mall is an exciting and momentous project and a very important element within Midi’s larger Tigné Point development. The open plan, modern construction of the mall sits well with the surrounding scenery of luxurious apartments and the renovated 18th century fort at the tip of peninsula, all of which, taken together, create a multi-faceted, mixed use development which is quite unique.”

The residential element of Tigné Point is to be found within a secure and gated environment with landscaped gardens and pretty walkways surrounded on three sides by the sea.

The last few homes currently for sale are all within a stone’s throw of the retail mall, the foreshore sports and leisure facilities and the newly restored Fort Tigné, and all enjoy a 30 acre car free environment situated just 15 minutes from the airport and a short boat ride across the harbour from the baroque capital city, Valletta.
