Dunes Mall opening soon
The new Dunes Mall opening in October this year will offer coastal residents the second largest mall in the country and many new economic opportunities.
The new 27 500-square metre Dunes Mall is in the final stages of completion with its doors set to open to shoppers on 26 October.
Developed by South African property developer Atterbury in partnership with local developer Tradehold, the new N$500-million mall will provide residents with a quality regional shopping centre which they can call their own.
The centre is anchored by a 3 500-square metre Checkers, a 2 700-square metre Pick n Pay and a 1 700-square metre Woolworths. Adding to the mix is a large Dis-Chem and a House and Home. Fashion retailers are well represented with retail offerings from Cotton On, Truworths, the Mr Price Group, Foschini Group and Pepkor Group.
“Our aim for this project was to construct a convenient and dominant shopping centre, and I believe we have done just that,” said Evert Kleynhans, development manager for Atterbury.
The Dunes Mall also has a food court with a children's play area and a fountain in the middle of the centre. Dining options will include Spur, John Dory's, Mugg & Bean and Col'Cacchio, all with ample outdoor seating areas.
“The fact that this is the first regional shopping centre in Walvis Bay, says it all. We designed and built a shopping centre that would stand out anywhere. The design and finishes are of a high quality and there will be no need for locals to leave Walvis anymore since they will have a quality shopping centre on their doorstep,” added Kleynhans.
Walvis Bay is currently enjoying exponential growth, with mega investments being made at its port. The development of the mall has responded to this and it is positioned to meet both retailer and consumer demand.
Dunes Mall further benefits from its prime location at the major intersection close to the city's airport and the highway to Swakopmund, another tourism hub. It will provide a comprehensive and exciting variety of shopping and entertainment options for Walvis Bay residents and visitors, as well as people from throughout Namibia's greater Erongo Region.
The mall will be managed by Atterbury will be the largest in the region and the second largest in Namibia after The Grove Mall in Windhoek. It is expected to be a catalyst for more development and investment in the area.
According to Kleynhans, upon completion, the mall will accommodate approximately 80 shops. The shops will employ local people and will create a very positive impact on the local employment rate.
