sufficiently retail-orientated . As a result , the retail offering always struggled . The new mall was pursued to improve the link between Sandton City and its 5-star hotels and conference / convention centre , while at the same time , providing a new and exciting shopping experience .
“ Diamond Walk was intended to create something new in South African retail ; it was to provide a launch pad for very high end retailers and its brand followers into southern Africa and from there , the emerging and growing African market . For this reason , the mall design had to be suitably high end while serving as a setting for the brands to take prominence ,” says Pat .
The link between the mall and the hotel is ideal as guests access these premium brands in a 5-star environment that exudes exclusivity . In time , the centre will offer a valet parking service . “ Sandton City has always strived to differentiate itself from other shopping centres ,” says Pat .
