Kenilworth Shopping Centre, which is well over 30 years old, has undergone a major upgrade and expansion in recent years, to modernise and bring it in line with the expectations of the 21st Century shopper.
“The relationship with the client commenced with a negotiated small works contract being awarded to Stefanutti Stocks Building Western Cape in 2007,” says Peter Leppan, contracts director. “After two years this has grown into almost R100 million worth of work”.
The renovations and extensions were all undertaken within an operational shopping centre with an approximate monthly footfall of 950 000. The scope of works included new builds (such as the 2 000m2 food court which now houses many of the national food brands, and a new 5 000m2 Game store). Further upgrades were undertaken to the existing mall including Shoprite (to Checkers) and upgrades to the entrances, public toilets and external areas. Checkers received a new double volume bulk store making room for the new Virgin Active Gym.
“The team achieved every milestone that was set,” says Peter, “and we are currently finishing off and will be handing over on schedule in November”.
