GRANDWEST MALL, GRANDWEST, CAPE TOWN
Flanagan & Gerard Group, in partnership with Sun International, recently hosted the landmark leasing launch of GrandWest Mall, drawing interest from more than 100 leading national, regional and local retailers. The enthusiastic turnout reflects strong interest in this bespoke 22,000m 2 shopping centre that will form part of GrandWest and elevate convenience retail in the Western Cape.
GrandWest Mall will build on the reputation and range of experiences at the largest entertainment destination of its kind in South Africa, and Sun International’ s most successful casino. Approximately R600 million will be invested in the new GrandWest Mall, which will be two-thirds owned by Flanagan & Gerard and one-third by Sun International.
Following the successful redevelopment of the Boardwalk Mall in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, Sun International are partnering with Flanagan & Gerard again, this time through GrandWest, to bring a bespoke community retail development to the precinct to enhance its leisure and hospitality assets.
Flanagan & Gerard and Sun International are developing a new single-level community shopping centre which will link into GrandWest’ s redeveloped children’ s entertainment area to enhance the overall family appeal.
GrandWest Mall will further enhance the shopping and entertainment for the Western Cape’ s local communities and regional visitors. Featuring two grocers, two pharmacies and an array of specialist food retail, the mall will cater to everyday essentials and culinary cravings. Fashion, health, beauty and athleisure retail will offer trendy options for all, while books, stationery, home décor and gifting stores will spark creativity and celebration. New eateries will enhance the popular range of family-friendly restaurants and coffee shops at GrandWest, adding more opportunities for socialising and enjoyment.
With comprehensive services and a vibrant mix of offerings, GrandWest Mall is poised to become the go-to destination for convenience in the area.
Flanagan & Gerard undertake extensive research before committing to a new development, and GrandWest Mall is no exception. Paul Gerard, MD of Flanagan & Gerard, says,“ Our demographic research shows there is a very real need to create a retail centre that answers the everyday shopping needs in this community. GrandWest Mall is being carefully designed to satisfy its immediate market and regional entertainment customer. We are thrilled to be working with Sun International again and to create the ultimate shopping experience at GrandWest.”
