James Ehlers, managing director of Atterbury Property Developments said Waterfall Corner, which opened in April last year, was owned by JSE-listed capital growth fund Attacq Limited. The shopping centre was designed by architects Bentel Associates International which won the best design for new shopping centres smaller than 20 000m² at the awards.
Ehlers said, “We are thrilled Waterfall Corner has been named the best shopping centre development in South Africa. The vision for Waterfall Corner was to create a prime neighbourhood retail centre servicing the fast-growing, upper-income residential communities and commercial developments in the greater Waterfall City area.”
Ehlers described the design of the shopping centre as clean, contemporary and honest. “It uses natural materials like stone, concrete and steel, and is designed with a cool and modern colour palette.”
