Ballito Junction Regional Mall opens
The fully-let Ballito Junction Regional Mall opened its doors today on the Dolphin Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, bringing an exciting array of comprehensive, quality shopping to the growing, diverse and flourishing consumers of Ballito and its surrounds.
Owned and developed by the consortium of Menlyn Maine Investment Holdings and Flanagan & Gerard Property Development & Investment, Ballito Junction Regional Mall is the major expansion of an existing 10,000sqm shopping centre, which has grown eight times its size, to a massive 80,000sqm of world-class shopping.
With its sheer size, shopping and leisure variety, unique attractions, and all-encompassing services and amenities, Ballito Junction is positioned to serve the large cross-section of shoppers. This gives it a dominant position and super-regional pull.
Besides its wide-ranging shopping experience and top-notch retailers, the mall is designed to be a real asset for its community - an expanding community that had become sorely underserviced by retail.
"Ballito Junction Regional Mall offers the ideal shopping and entertainment for its area. It is also an exceptional development and reflects the latest in inspired mall design and retail innovation. It delivers a compelling, easily accessible, one-stop shopping experience right to the doorsteps of the residents of KwaDukuza for the first time," says Patrick Flanagan of Flanagan and Gerard.
The mall's development is a major private investment that stands to benefit its community.It brings with it increased economic prosperity by creating jobs and keeping retail spend local. The mall workedclosely withthe KwaDukuza Municipality to ensure that local job-seekers could benefit from the jobs created during its construction as well as the sustainable jobs which it has created for its ongoing operation.
