Waterfront Commercial Mall 

Locality Plan

At long last!
Waterfront Commercial Mall, Swakopmund.


Since the marketing of the Waterfront began five years ago several developers have – unsuccessfully – tried to sell the idea. In 2007, however, a South African-based investment group took over the reigns and moulded the idea into what has become Swakopmund’s one and only commercial Waterfront development. The original idea of building a harbour has been scrapped in favour of a breakwater on the southern side of the development as well as a slip way for boats. In addition, the town’s first fresh fish market will make its debut here.

The commercial complex itself will consist of a a little more than 10 000 square metre, state-of-the-art shopping mall, an 80-room hotel which has already been sold to the Protea group and 26 apartments to be sold as sectional title units.

The mall is what Swakopmund has been waiting for. Shops include international brands such as Checkers, Truworths, Clicks, Ackermans, Verimark and Musica. There are also a variety of local businesses, from a liquor store to a pharmacy. The mall will boast a smorgasbord of gastronomic proportions. Fast-food to fine dining, there’s something for every palate.
Two sea-front restaurant spaces are still available, so don’t delay.
