RUIMSIG – The highly-anticipated opening of Cradlestone Mall in Mogale City is set to take place on 20 November.
The mall, named for its close proximity to the Cradle of Mankind National Heritage site, is ideally located where Hendrik Potgieter meets the N14 and R28 highways. The 76 000sqm mall boasts 200 specially-selected stores, all of which will open just in time for the festive season.
A whopping R60 million was spent on upgrading the roads in the area, in order to make the mall more accessible for shoppers travelling from Roodepoort, Krugersdorp, Randpark Ridge and as far as the North West. Modifications include the widening of Hendrik Potgieter Road leading to the intersection, as well as upgrading the interchange at the corner of Hendrik Potgieter Road and the R28 highway. In addition, a new slip road has been built coming off the N14 from Randburg, which will bring shoppers directly to the lower entrances of the mall.
“Cradlestone Mall enjoys exceptional visibility from these major roads and highways, and we have also worked hard to ensure the mall is easily accessible to shoppers and surrounding traffic flows are good,” said Andries Schaap, one of the several owners of the new mall.
In keeping with the Cradle of Mankind theme, evolutionary discoveries and stratum from different prehistoric eras are subtly incorporated in the contemporary elements that make up the mall’s facade, floors and roofscapes. The mall also boasts a bright and airy food court and entertainment zones, which connect with the outdoors, spilling out onto a vibrant public square and garden.
