With less than a month left before the grand opening of the Ballito Junction Regional mall, the tenants and developers are adding the final touches to what is promised to be the biggest and grandest mall in the Dolphin Coast.
Gearing for the opening day scheduled for March 23, tenants and developers met to discuss the nitty gritty details last Thursday.
Excited for the launch, Patrick Flanagan of co-owners Flanagan & Gerard Property Development & Investment and Menlyn Maine Investment Holdings said he looked forward to seeing the mall integrate in the community.
“We want to have a 100% awareness in Ballito. Our plan is to find a link between the mall and the community so that in the long term, some of the community’s needs are addressed.”

The 80 000 square metre building will become home to 200 stores, eight Nu Metro cinemas – including an Imax and a 4-D theater. The mall will bring many mouthwatering options to Ballito which one would find in the Urban eatery on the ground floor. The eatery will be an open-plan food court with a mix of restaurants including high-end Beluga and Beluga Pan Asia restaurant, Casa Bella, Spur and Simply Asia. Visitors can also look forward to a few big names coming to Ballito for the first time, including Typo, Cotton On, Addidas, Buluga, Casa Bella, Tread + Miller, Turn n Tender Steak House, Big Blue, Tashas, RVC, Keedo Kids, Rubi Shoes, Gold Rush Bingo and Entertainment, Exclusive Books, Browns, Polo, Coricraft and Cotton Body.
Adding to the entertainment, the mall will include an interactive radio station and 21 Jump Street play centre.
The KwaDukuza council who got a short tour of the almost complete mall were highly impressed by the progress. KwaDukuza mayor Ricardo Mthembu said it has so far been a pleasure working with the developers and he looks forward to what they will bring to the region in the future.
“Our partnership with Ballito Junction is an example of the country needs. We are excited for the jobs that will provide as well as the services they will offer to the community,” he said.
