GROBLERSDAL MALL REVAMP, LIMPOPO
Groblersdal Mall in Limpopo is undergoing a transformative redevelopment that will firmly establish it as a modern, welcoming and shopper-oriented destination that is growing and evolving together with its community.
The project, led by Twin City in partnership with Patricio & Sons, will see the refurbishment of the 37,000m 2 mall completed in November 2025 with a host of new features, including a completely reimagined food court, enhanced tenant mix and a brand identity that celebrates the area’ s agricultural heritage.
The redevelopment represents a major investment in the region and will create new permanent jobs, adding to the more than 1,000 already supported by the centre. The major update project began in February 2025.
“ Our investment builds on the excellent foundation of an extremely popular and successful centre. Our vision is to ensure it evolves with the needs of the people it serves and retail trends, to genuinely serve the retail needs of Groblersdal and its surrounds, while also offering a real sense of place,” says Ryno de Leeuw, CEO of Twin City.
The redevelopment is being led by Design Partnership, whose design is inspired by Groblersdal’ s agricultural landscape. The architectural approach articulates inviting, tactile spaces that promote a sense of belonging. The use of greenery, natural textures and warm tones throughout the centre reflects a deep connection to the land, while also creating spaces where visitors feel encouraged to linger and connect.
Design Partnership also led the mall’ s rebranding, logo and brand direction. The refreshed identity –‘ Rooted in Groblersdal, Growing Together’ – combines modern aesthetics with a grounded, friendly and energising feel that resonates with local shoppers.
The food court area is being reimagined as a central hospitality zone, complete with a family-focused design, an amazing play area, pause areas and ground-level water features. New standalone food retailers will enhance the offering, making the centre a viable third space for residents, beyond home and work, where families can meet, relax and enjoy quality time.
Other upgraded amenities include modernised public restrooms and integrated landscaping, continuing the centre’ s commitment to creating an enjoyable, well-managed and amenity-rich shopping experience, such as its longstanding provision of free WiFi for customers and its use of green energy from solar panels which support a reliable shopping experience for visitors.
“ More than a shopping destination, the redeveloped Groblersdal Mall is enhancing a vibrant community hub where people can connect, unwind and enjoy a high-quality retail experience in a setting that reflects their values and way of life,” adds de Leeuw.
With a dynamic mix of local relevance and national retail strength, the new Groblersdal Mall is poised to delight both loyal shoppers and new visitors alike even more as its revamp comes to life and is completed in November 2025.
