Wernhil introduces Section 1 of Phase 4
The construction of Wernhil Park Phase 4, will according to managing director of Broll Namibia, Marco Wenk ensure Wernhil Park will grow to offer approximately 55 000m2 of prime retail, allowing it to compete head-on with other regional malls located in Windhoek's ever expanding retail landscape.
At a cost of over N$450 million, Wernhil Park Phase 4 will be constructed in two sections with the first section scheduled to commence trade by 1 June 2018.
On Thursday, 17 May 2018, Broll Namibia - a subsidiary of the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group – and O&L hosted the Mayor of the City of Windhoek, Muesee Kazapua, members of Council of the City of Windhoek, City of Windhoek strategic executives and other stakeholders for a site tour of the nearly completed first section of Phase 4 as well as providing an update on the remainder of the development.
O&L, through Broll Namibia has so far spent at least N$160 million on the construction of Wernhil Park Phase 4, and according to Wenk, Section 1 will host at least 9 new shops including: Dis-Chem; Soda Bloc; Exact; Due South; Markham; Sportscene; Donna; Fabiani, and @Home. Wenk: “We are extremely happy with the progress of the entire development and thank all crucial stakeholders as well as the development team for their efforts and perseverance in getting us to this point.
We are excited to present our valued shoppers and tenants with the first section of Phase 4 when trade commences on the 1st of June 2018. Our tenants and shoppers' continued support and patience during the construction period is sincerely appreciated, and we can assure you that the unfortunate inconvenience that comes with a development of this magnitude will be worth it in the end.”
The first section of the new phase involved the conversion of the upper parking deck located on the southern side of Wernhil Park, into prime retail shops.
Broll Namibia public relations & marketing manager, Sylvia Rusch says section two will entail the bulk of the development (consisting of retail, parking and an additional taxi rank facility) on the site where Cashbuild and Fruit & Veg used to be, as well as the bridge link currently under construction over Fidel Castro Street, connecting Sections 1 and 2. Rusch: “The extension to Wernhil Park will enhance the overall shopping experience on offer by not only providing more space, thus reducing congestion within the mall, but it will further ensure that the Centre's variety and choice from a retailer mix perspective, and convenience in terms of parking, will be significantly improved for the CBD shopper. In addition to this, a second taxi rank (public transport facility), a fully-fledged medical facility and overall easier pedestrian access into the mall from particularly the southern part of the Centre will add to the convenience factor of the future Wernhil Park.”
Kazapua during the walk-through of section 1 expressed his appreciation for the investment into the Central Business District (CBD). Kazapua: “I am impressed with what I see and have to commend the project team and Broll Namibia for meeting the initial development timeline..
This is certainly a great contribution to the initiatives supported by the City of Windhoek to further improve and add to Windhoek's CBD, which has over the years been impacted by decentralisation.”
Managing director of SIP Project Managers (Namibia), and project manager of Wernhil Park Phase 4, Jacky Jacobs: “The official site handover to the main contractor, Namibia Construction took place on the 3rd of July 2017 and a mere eleven months later, the 1st section of the development will be ready for trade. Although this is an extremely challenging project, progress on the balance of the development is going well and we look forward to meeting the completion deadline of the whole development by 1 June 2019.”
Since it first opened its doors twenty-eight (28) years ago, Wernhil Park has seen several stages of growth and development. This, according to Wenk falls in line with Broll Namibia's commitment to enhance and keep the shopping experience on par with international standards. The entire new phase of Wernhil Park is expected to be complete by June 2019.
