Benoni’s beautiful mall on water, Lakeside Mall, is celebrating its 20th anniversary – and sporting a fresh new look.
“The revamp began in February 2018 and was completed in March 2019,” said Growthpoint portfolio manager Chantell Roemer.
“The entire interior of the mall was given a facelift which included ceilings, energy efficient lighting, tiles, entrances, common area columns and upgraded ablution facilities.
“The mall underwent a modernisation in terms of look and feel.
“The interior was refreshed and given a ‘clean’ and modern look by introducing different colour scheme and upgrading of certain elements, such as aluminium handrails and energy efficient lighting.”
But that is not all, Roemer confirmed that with the revamp, four new brands have also joined the tenant list.
“We decided to give the mall a new interior to keep the centre relevant and create a pleasant shopping environment for our customers.
“The upgrade creates a sense of space and openness with modern finishes to bring the centre into the new age with its aesthetically pleasing new look, which allows the customers to feel at ease while shopping.”
“This was when the mall had a deck extension section added on.
“Lakeside Mall increased its trading area to 66 000sq metres with the extension.
“While minor cosmetic changes have taken place over the years, this is the first major refurbishment since 2008.”
