Project Description
The Springs Mall at Blue Crane Eco Park entails the development of a 52 000 m², two-level mall in the greater Springs area, in Ekurhuleni, in the east of Gauteng.

The project will draw R300-million to R500-million retail revenue being spent elsewhere, as the region remains underserved.

Value
R850-million.

Duration
The mall is set to open its doors in 2016.

Between 500 and 700 jobs will be created during the construction phase, with a further 1 200 to 1 500 sustainable jobs to be created upon opening.
