In June (2013) construction started on the Bay West Mall just west of Sherwood in Port Elizabeth. Construction on the first phase of this mega development next to the N2 is expected to be completed in 2015. The development will cover about 300 ha when finished and will be focused around a 90000m² shopping centre. The rest of the Bay West City Precinct will be made up of commercial and residential components and the whole project is said to take place over a 15 year period.
Do you really need more shopping malls near PE?
Honestly? No we don't
The Western Suburbs / Sherwood area is somewhat lacking in large shopping facilities. But PE definitely does seem over-subscribed, especially along the William Moffett Expressway.
