This ambitious project, spearheaded by developers Flanagan & Gerard in partnership with Sun International, promises to deliver a vibrant mix of retail outlets, restaurants, and health and fitness centres, catering to the diverse needs of the surrounding communities.

With an investment of R600 million, the GrandWest Mall aims to create not just a shopping destination, but a comprehensive leisure experience that will invigorate the local economy and provide thousands of jobs for residents.

As construction is slated to begin this September, excitement is building for what is poised to be a landmark development in Cape Town.

The GrandWest Mall will be built on the grounds of the GrandWest Casino and entertainment complex and will feature an array of retail outlets, restaurants and health and fitness centres.

At the leasing launch event on Thursday, developers and owners Flanagan & Gerard and Sun International said they’re building on a concept that they started with the Boardwalk Mall and Casino complex in Gqeberha, in the Eastern Cape, that encompasses a whole shopping, leisure and entertainment experience.

This latest R600m build will cater for the surrounding communities of Thornton, Goodwood, Norwood, Epping, Bonteheuwel, Elsies River, Langa, Kensington, Gugulethu and Parow.

Flanagan & Gerard said they undertake extensive research before committing to a new development, and GrandWest Mall was no exception.
