Investec Property, owners of the Fleurdal Mall situated in Vereeniging Avenue, Fleurdal in Bloemfontein, report good progress on its refurbishment.
Work on the 25 year-old shopping centre anchored by Checkers Hyper and House and Home, began in October 2011 and is due to be completed in November this year.
The major improvement to this property is a more modern look and feel with a new canopy walk-way that will link entrances two and three.
The parking has been reconfigured for improved circulation, and the intersection off Vereeniging Avenue at the Caltex service station leading to the centre will also be upgraded and new traffic lights installed to allow better access and free flow of traffic.
The centre’s prime location has added to its success and with continued demand from retailers, it is being extended from its current size of 19 000 square metres to 25 000 square metres.
The expansion involves an increased fashion component to complement the centre’s existing tenant profile and improve the shopping experience for the community.
Tenants continue to trade through the refurbishment and new that tenants signed on in light of the refurbishment include Hi-Fi Corporation, Nedbank, Capitec Bank, Lotters Pine, Milady’s, Contempo, Pandora, Rage Shoes and a number of boutique fashion stores with Ackermans and Mr Price increasing their trading area.
