After almost seven years of planning , Rustenburg Mall opened its doors on 29 April 2021 . Designed by MDS Architecture , the development is a collaboration between Moolman Group , Twin City Development and JB Holdings .
Pierre Lahaye , partner at MDS Architecture , says “ The design of the 40,000m 2 Rustenburg Mall is rooted in the context of its surroundings , both natural and developed . The renowned Rustenburg Kloof features dramatic rock formations and iconic Acacia trees . The broader area has several agricultural businesses , and the site is located within 1km of the largest public transport hub in South Africa , which serves both taxi and bus commuters .” The public transport hub and broader road infrastructure were important to consider in the design , as was climate control considering the high temperatures experienced in Rustenburg .
The form of the building mimics a tree . The tree symbol is so entrenched in the plan of the building that it also serves as the key design element in the logo for Rustenburg Mall , which is a clean and contemporary take on the revered Acacia tree .
There are over 120 stores in Rustenburg Mall ranging from popular national tenants to new stores such as Drip , Home Choice , Legends Barber , Sneaker Factory , Offspring by Uzzi , G-Star , Polo , Primark by Truworths , and Le Coq Sportif as a stand-alone store .
Rustenburg Mall has three entrances , which evoke inviting tree-like canopies as if to invite gatherings .
