Name and Location
Mall of Africa project, Gauteng, South Africa.
Client
Attacq (80%) and Atterbury Property Holdings (20%).
Project Description
The Mall of Africa will be the largest retail development on the African continent to be developed in a single phase and will occupy “the heart” of the mixed-use Waterfall City development.
The “super-regional” shopping centre will offer 130 000 m2 of retail space. Confirmed tenants include local and international brands such as Woolworths, Edgars, Game, H&M and Checkers Hyper.
The mall’s top level will boast a 4 500 m2 undulating steel and glass roof with curved bulkheads that allow for daylight entry, as well as a “luxury mall” section that will offer high-end brands and a champagne bar.
At the centre of the mall, the interior will open onto an exterior restaurant area and the green lung of the Water City development – a large park that extends towards the bottom of the mixed-use development. The mall will also have 6 500 parking bays.
Value
R4.9-billion.
Duration
The mall is expected to begin trading in April 2016.
