R10-MILLION MAKEOVER FOR VANDERBIJLPARK’S SANLAM CENTRE COMMENCES

Redefine Properties, the owners of the Sanlam Centre in Vanderbijlpark, is investing up to R10-million in an upgrade and refurbishment of the Sanlam Centre.

The 18 200m2 centre will receive a facelift with new tiling, ceilings, shopfronts, paint and lighting to create a more attractive and fresh shopping experience.

The renovation of the centre commenced in February 2010, and should be complete by the end of March 2010, minimising disruption to tenants and shoppers.

To compliment the new look, the centre’s name has changed to Vaal Walk.

Redefine leasing executive Grant Silverman says the upgrade of the centre is expected to attract more shoppers to the centre, which is anchored by national fashion retailers such as Edgars, Jet, Mr Price, Foschini, Exact, PQ Clothing and other retailers such as Crazy Store.

“The upgrade gives retailers the opportunity to take up some of the vacant space in the centre, and we are expecting renewed interest from prospective tenants,” he says.
