Deira City Center expansion 2013
- 18 Nov 2013: Some reports about the Sharjah City Center said DCC "... is currently undergoing a Dhs22 billion redevelopment." Presumably that's a typo rather than a thousand-fold increase in the amount being spent on expansion (AED 22 billion is enough to build a small town).
