GENERAL NEWS Letlhakane Shopping Centre kicks off in June 2020 By Brett Marlin We are really happy to advise that we plan to start construction on a shopping centre in Letlhakane in June 2020 with a completion date of June 2021. The first phase of the development will be a 6 700m² centre and a 1 200m² builders’ merchant. The centre will be able to increase in size by 5 100m² to 11 800m². We have been amazed by the demand for shops from the large retailers to the small independent traders. We will be accommodating not only the long- haul buses and local taxis but also, as with all our developments, the informal traders as well. The land that we will be developing already has an Engen filling station and a stand-alone Nando’s so the centre and builders’ merchant are not only going to compliment the current development but hopefully will bring a whole new offering to the residents of Letlhakane, Orapa and surrounding areas. Roy will be project managing the development and Turnie will be assisting with getting the tenant leases signed. ISSUE 40 - DECEMBER 2019 11
