Unveiled on December 1, this grand shopping destination, the final masterpiece in The Mall Group’s Em District project, promises a blend of opulence and convenience. The opening spectacle featured not only the radiant Miss Universe 2023 first runner-up, Anntonia Porsild, but also showcased the arrival of Ikea’s city-center store within the Emsphere complex.
