An exciting expansion of Ballito Junction Regional Mall’s Level 6 outdoor area has begun, promising an improved entertainment and retail offering.

Construction has been underway since February and is expected to be finished in time for the festive season near the end of the year.

The upgrade includes the Pick n Pay entrance, Dis-Chem and nearby open area which is known as the mall’s ‘cornerstone section’.

It includes some of Ballito Junction’s anchor tenants who have been in residence since 2005 when it first opened as a 10 000 square metre convenience centre.

The mall was later expanded to an 80 000 square metre regional mall in 2017, now counting more than 200 tenants.

“As part of this upgrade project, the current Pick n Pay entrance will be enclosed, and the adjoining external section of the mall will be expanded to make space for several exciting new restaurants and speciality tenants, all arranged around an attractive piazza,” said CEO of Ballito Junction, Geraldine Jorgensen.

“In addition to enclosing the entrance, space for three new restaurants will be created, spilling out onto the piazza,” she said.

The new design is intended to bring the older section of the mall in line with the modern aesthetic of the 2017 additions.

“We want to refresh the restaurant offering on this side of the mall to create an optimal experience for business people, families and the broader community surrounding Ballito.”

“Our strategy for this project is to create a base from which further mixed uses can be added to the centre in future, so we are laying the foundations for even more to come,” said Jorgensen.
