GIVEN the introduction of the much needed regional shopping centre Watercrest Mall, it is natural that the Hillcrest Corner offering needs to be adjusted.
To achieve this and to ensure that Hillcrest Corner remains relevant to the demands of the local community, it required some reconfiguration.
The redevelopment project saw the Checkers parking level closed completely as the Centre built a brand new parking deck which provided an additional 215 new parking bays.
Change is always tough, however these plans were implemented with a very real and committed desire for the Centre to remain current, relevant and deliver on their intended position as the convenient community centre of choice in the area.
On the upper level we are proud to announce the opening of the exciting and ever popular family brand – Baby City and well as Standard Bank. Mr Price will be moving onto this level and officially opened for trading one week earlier than expected on 24 March – just in time for the Easter weekend.
The Centre is also very pleased to announce that the rumours are indeed true. The Centre will welcome the health and fitness giant, Virgin Active in the near future. The 3,600m² gym will be constructed on the property adjacent to the Centre and this development project will run concurrently with the reconfiguration project, however it will not impact on the Centre property at all.
“We understand that construction is an inconvenience. It means that for awhile our shopping centre will be in a state of change. We want our customers to know that this redevelopment is inspired by them, to provide them with the new and improved shopping Centre that they deserve,” said Centre manager Bev Wilson.
The Centre continues to provide a valuable and convenient store mix ideal for convenient and weekly community needs and looks forward to the community’s ongoing support through this exciting transition.
