The retail chain partnered with Mopani Properties and Terrace Africa to in the Village Walk Borrowdale project with the latter two being the developers at an investment worth $25 million.
TM Pick n Pay managing director, Malcolm Mycroft, said the idea behind the Village Walk, Borrowdale project was to introduce the country to a strip mall concept.
“We are now fast-tracking phase two, which is going to give us some 20 odd stores and some more parking. I think once it is completed in the next four to six weeks the road will be opened and it is going to be a wonderful place. We wanted more of an upmarket place, but with more of a family approach” he said.
“People may look at the buildings, but the prices are still very competitive.”
TM Pick N Pay is the anchor tenant of the Village Walk Borrowdale strip mall. The project consists of 30 shops including drive throughs, banks and restaurants’ among others.
In total Village Walk Borrowdale project created 150 jobs.
