Owned and redeveloped by Retail Africa , the Ridgeview Shopping Centre recently won the Spectrum Award as well as Category B winner for Best Renovation / Expansion at the 2024 Retail Design and Development Awards ( RDDA ).
Redevelopment Potential The existing building was in a dilapidated state with a large vacancy factor and the remaining stores provided low rentals . The existing Woolworths anchor store was not upgraded and the development was in the process of losing this anchor .
The existing demographic location was however excellent and the developers saw the opportunity to redevelop and invigorate the centre . Due to the location the developers were able to attract Checkers and Dischem anchors and on the back of that retain the existing Woolworths store with an upgrade .
The developer was able to recognise the centre ’ s potential in spite of the dismal state of the original building which put off many other possible investors
