Following its grand opening in September , Boardwalk Mall precinct takes pride of place as a prominent landmark just a few metres from the Blue Flag-awarded Hobie Beach in Gqeberha .
Designed by MDS Architecture , the first phase of the 24,000m 2 Boardwalk Mall opened in March 2022 with a variety of entertainment options and several tenants , who traded while the second phase was being completed .
Pierre Lahaye , MDS Architecture partner , says that Boardwalk Mall is an important part of the overall vision for the precinct , linking with the Sun International Boardwalk Casino and the Boardwalk Hotel .
The owners of the Boardwalk precinct are Emfuleni Resorts ( a subsidiary of Sun International ) and Flanagan & Gerard - combining experienced leisure operators with developers who have a proven track record in retail development and management . Anthony Leeming , CEO of Sun International , pointed out that the mall ’ s journey began eight years ago , well before its development commenced . “ We had a dream to redevelop the mall and were very fortunate to eventually find the right partners in Flanagan & Gerard . Sun International is invested in the Eastern Cape , committed to Gqeberha and proud to be partners in Boardwalk Mall – it is an amazing mall befitting the friendly city .”
The mall is curved , evoking waves and encouraging further exploration beyond what is immediately visible to the eye
