Growpoint objection

The largest property investment holding company listed on the JSE‚ Growthpoint Properties‚ has invoked the ire of Klerksdorp townsfolk over its aversion to a lucrative new development in the town.

The property group‚ which owns the town's 20‚000m² City Mall in the central business district‚ has objected to the North West Townships Board over the municipality allowing a new development on the outskirts of town - the R1bn Matlosana Mall being built by Stellenbosch-based Abacus Asset Management.

Plans for the 60‚000m² mall - situated at the eastern entrance to the town along the N12 - have been met with fierce hostility by opposing developers ever since first being mooted in 2007.

But the high-level fighting has impeded much-needed economic growth and stifled job creation‚ say townsfolk who earlier this month marched on Growthpoint.

Organised by the Matlosana Development Forum‚ marchers demanded the group explain why it was opposed to the new mall‚ even though it was unlikely to poach City Mall's central business district customers. [2]

Growthpoint's appeal to the townships board is a last-ditch attempt to halt the Matlosana Mall after fellow Klerksdorp development‚ Flamwood Walk - through owners Diggers Development - had its appeal over the development to the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) dismissed with costs in November last 2011.

Managing director of Abacus‚ said the development would create 2‚000 temporary jobs during the 19 months of construction‚ and thereafter 1‚500 permanent jobs. [2]

Sunnyvale Town Center was a two-level shopping mall located in Sunnyvale, California, USA. It opened in 1979 on the site of much of the city's downtown, and was anchored by Macy's, Montgomery Ward, and later, J.C. Penney. Target moved in when Montgomery Ward closed. By the early 2000s, the mall had failed financially and only the Target and Macy's stores remained open. Work on a mixed-use development to replace the mall was stalled by a legal dispute from 2009 to 2015, with most buildings incomplete, but resumed after the city reached an agreement with new developers in mid-2016. By the end of 2020, a multi-screen movie theater and a supermarket had been built and opened in addition to most of the residential buildings; as of January 2021, replacement plans were going forward for a group of lots including the site of Macy's, which closed in 2019. Much of the area has now been rebranded as CityLine Sunnyvale.
