The new Oceans Mall in Umhlanga is expected to open its doors to the public this month, promising to bring luxury retail and high-end fashion to Durban.<\/p>\n

The mall, valued at R1.3 billion, forms part of the R4.3 billion mixed-use Oceans development in Umhlanga, which comprises three towers with luxury apartments, and a hotel.<\/p>\n

The project was designed by Elphick Proome Architecture and is being co-developed by businessman and founder of the Edison Group, Vivian Reddy.<\/p>\n

The massive 36,000 square metre mall is planning a grand opening on 15 November, launching its first phase. The second phase – which includes the luxury retail and high-end fashion component – is expected to open in March 2023.<\/p>\n

The group has confirmed that several South African retailers will be anchored at the mall, including Woolworths, Pick n Pay Clothing, Checkers, Checkers Liquor, Checkers Little Me, the brand-new Checkers Outdoor, Medirite Pharmacy and Clicks.<\/p>\n

It will also have a host of eateries, a Hard Rock Cafe, and restaurants like Umhlanga Feast, Olive & Oil, Tigers Milk, W Cafe, Seven Seas Sushi, The Hussar Grill, Nando’s, New York Deli and Romano Ice Cream.<\/p>\n

Specialist stores for the mall include Soul (surf shop), Tip Top Tailor, Pet Science, Fresh Breeze Laundry, Frans Tailor, Oceans Tobacconist, Wordsworth Books, Foto Fame, Chocolate Haven and Occasions.<\/p>\n

Oceans is a major 217,600-square-metre development, and along with the mall, it also features a 200-plus-room Raddison Blu hotel, 40 deluxe long-stay apartments and 2 penthouses. It also boasts an 800-seater, state-of-the-art conferencing facility that includes 6 breakaway rooms for stylish meeting venues.<\/p>\n

The development will also comprise two residence towers, consisting of over 450 apartments and penthouses. The towers are designed so that every apartment has a view so as to enhance their appeal and long-term value.<\/p>\n

The 5-star Raddison Blu Umhlanga opened its doors in June 2022 and has direct access to the mall.<\/p>\n
