Owned and developed by the investment consortium of Menlyn Maine Investment Holdings and Flanagan & Gerard Property Development & Investment, Ballito Junction Regional Mall is the major expansion of an existing 10,000sqm shopping centre.

It was expanded to eight times its original size to offer an impressive 80,000sqm of world-class shopping.

The new mall’s innovative design was created by multi-award-winning MDS Architecture.

Junction CEO Geraldine Jorgensen said: “Our mall was designed to provide a shopping experience of distinction to its community and regional shoppers, however, we are also incredibly proud that it has been recognised for its excellence by its industry peers.

“The prestigious SAPOA award is a highly coveted accomplishment for retail development in the South African property industry. It reinforces the esteemed Retail Design and Development Award that Ballito Junction received from the South African Council of Shopping Centres in 2017 for being the country’s top new retail development. These awards are a testament to the professional excellence of everyone involved in Ballito Junction’s development.”

Since opening on March 23 last year with six anchor retailers and a diverse mix of over 200 shops, restaurants, and services, Ballito Junction has attracted about 12 million people with a spend of nearly R2bn in its first year.
