Highveld Mall Expansion by November 2010 Witbank’s only regional shopping centre, the Highveld Mall, is currently under construction as progress is made in the R100 million expansion project, set to be completed by November 2010. The 40,000 sqm shopping centre opened its doors in April 2007, creating over a thousand jobs and providing approximately 120 retail outlets for the communities in Witbank. Plans are now for a 6,000 sqm expansion on the western part of the mall, creating space for many new retailers to make their debut in Witbank. Some of the confirmed new tenants will be American Swiss Jewellers, Capitec Bank and Dischem. The Highveld Mall’s busy Pick n Pay will also be expanded by 1,000 sqm, providing customers with even more variety and undoubtedly creating more jobs. Once these expansions have been completed, more construction is on the cards as co-owners Resilient Property Income Fund, Flanagan & Gerard Property Development Investment and Falcon Forest Trading are planning to expand the mall by a further 12,000 sqm, ultimately creating in excess of 60,000 sqm of lettable space. The plans for expansion were borne out of consumer needs and retailer requests, says Sandra Vanderwalt, General Manager of Highveld Mall, and added that since the opening of the mall in April 2007 the centre has consistently experienced growth in trade.
