Situated in the seaside town Hermanus in the Western Cape , Whale Coast Mall was designed by Bentel Associates International ( Bentel ) and JLDesign as a regional centre that focuses on convenience for customers . The mall is located in a highly visible position on the R43 in Sandbaai , which lies at the entrance to the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in Hermanus . Offering 80 stores , this A-grade centralised retail hub provides stress-free shopping and entertainment for the whole family .
Brief The brief from the clients was to design a mall that fills a niche in the market previously unoccupied , as well as not competing with existing retail to the detriment of all . The undoubted success of the development during its operating time has underlined this crucial factor .
Features Whale Coast Mall offers safe shopping combined with restrained contemporary architecture and striking visual focus points making it the best shopping and leisure experience in the Overberg region . With 4 easy access entrances , 2 lifts , 2 escalators , full facilities for the disabled and lots of convenient parking one is effortlessly able to navigate through the 30,000m 2 mall .
Whale Coast Mall is a 30,000m 2 mall area that is defined by high volumes and enhanced by natural light . The building is restrained and not disruptive to surrounding building structures .
