Table Bay Mall , a new regional retail development on the northern reaches of Sunningdale in Cape Town , opened in September 2017 . Situated on the corner of the R27 , West Coast Road and Berkshire Boulevard on a 20-hectare site , this is the largest regional mall in the hub of the Big Bay , Bloubergstrand and West Beach areas with over 65,000m 2 of retail space .

Vivid Architects was approached by Zenprop Property Holdings in 2010 to look at designs on potential sites in the Sunnigndale area . Table Bay Mall is the 9th regional shopping centre that Vivid Architects has completed for Zenprop ; a relationship that goes back to 2003 and the Design Quarter in Fourways , Johannesburg .
Table Bay Mall ’ s more than 150 shops and restaurants are located on a single retail level in the form of a figure eight layout . Retail food anchors are positioned at the extreme ends of the mall on either side ; namely Pick n Pay and Checkers respectively . The central mall node is anchored by Woolworths and H & M as well as larger restaurants . The layout provides for easy navigation for shoppers with particular attention having been paid to sight lines from all the key node areas to the anchor tenants , effectively drawing the customer through the four mall quadrants .
Design Aesthetic The design aesthetic considered the location of the mall in close proximity to the coast as well as the mall name . The overall design aesthetic has been inspired and influenced by a contemporary nautical theme . The architects took inspiration
