Dalton Shopping Centre

Transforming a Worn-Out Shopping Center into a Modern Retail Hub

Challenge: Our client acquired a neglected shopping center that had deteriorated due to years of poor management. The center needed extensive renovations to attract and retain tenants.

Solution:
Strategic Renovation:

• Engagement with Shoprite: We secured a lease agreement with Shoprite, leading to the demolition of a dilapidated section and the construction of a new retail space for Shoprite's U Save, built to their exact specifications.

Crisis Management:

• Rapid Response to Riots: Following the damage during the July 2021 riots in KZN and Gauteng, we quickly repaired and renovated the entire center. Despite the chaos, we minimized fire damage and restored tenant spaces, allowing businesses to resume trading within two months.

Continued Expansion:
In 2022, we further expanded the center by adding two new retail shops for an independent hardware and furniture dealer. Ongoing improvements include upgrading Taxi Rank offices and paving the rear driveway for easier deliveries.

Result:
The center has been successfully transformed into a modern retail hub, attracting high-quality tenants and ensuring a thriving business environment.
