Construction of R4-billion uMhlanga Oceans development to recommence
The announcement comes after construction of the development stalled in October last year.
CONSTRUCTION of the Oceans Mall, part of the R4.5 billion Oceans Umhlanga Mixed-Use development in uMhlanga is due to start in February, according to Oceans Umhlanga chairman, Vivian Reddy.
The announcement comes after construction of the development stalled in October last year. At the time, the Northglen News was told the project halted ‘due to certain complications which caused the developer to renegotiate.’
Reddy confirmed this week that the 36 000m2 building will have 103 retail outlets and would incorporate 22 international iconic luxury fashion brands, 12 magnificent restaurants, a supercar dealership and the SA’s first snow-park.

“The mall is unique because of SA’s first snow park and an Ice Bar – something that is expected to draw crowds from afar and create an exuberant destination in itself apart from uniquely complementing the shopping experience. Visitors will be able to frolic in the snow, quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger pangs in plush restaurants and then walk across the street and dive into the ocean and enjoy the pristine uMhlanga promenade and beach,” Reddy said.
He added the project, which will take 18 months to complete, is expected to create 500 direct and 2000 indirect jobs.
“Complications arising from the liquidation of a contractor on site has now been resolved and new contractors are being appointed.”
