Redefine Properties, in collaboration with Talis Property Fund, has proudly launched the expanded Pan Africa Mall in Alexandra. Its total gross lettable area (GLA) now exceeds 25,000 square meters. This significant development brings new opportunities for shoppers and businesses alike, cementing the mall’s position as a vibrant retail hub.
Major Expansion Details
The upgrade includes an addition of 9,000 square meters of new retail space, enabling a diverse shopping experience. A newly constructed upper-level floor is dedicated to fashion retailers, featuring prominently relocated stores like Mr Price and Ackermans. The expansion of the ground floor includes key new entrants such as Roots Butchery, an expanded Truworths, and a new First National Bank (FNB) branch. Further enriching the retail offerings, new tenants such as W.Edit, Pick n Pay Clothing, Jam Clothing, Hungry Lion, Vision Works, The HUB, Selfast, Nizams, Clothing Junction, and Tekkie Town have joined the mall’s lineup.
Innovative Infrastructure and Community Integration, Pan Africa Mall, pioneered South Africa due to its integration with public transport systems, including a 50,000 square-meter taxi facility, which remains a core component of its infrastructure. Additionally, street hawkers are now being accommodated with permanent stalls under the management of the Alexandra Taxi Association, blending community engagement with commercial growth.
Enhanced Sustainability Measures
The expansion emphasises sustainability through improvements in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) credentials. The mall now features full backup power and water solutions, exploring the potential to sink a borehole. A noteworthy addition is a R12.2 million solar PV system capable of producing 851 kWp, complemented by energy-efficient lighting and water-efficient toilet installations. These measures reflect a strong commitment to reducing the mall’s environmental impact while providing reliable services to its tenants and visitors.
In conclusion, the upgraded Pan Africa Mall not only enhances the retail experience for Alexandra’s residents but also represents a forward-thinking approach to sustainable development and community integration. This ambitious project marks a new era for Pan Africa Mall and its stakeholders.enhances the retail experience for Alexandra’s residents and
