MAERUA Mall, established in 1990, is Windhoek’s original shopping centre. Located close to the heart of Namibia’s capital city and bordering the eastern suburbs, it welcomes over nine million shoppers every year.
Carel Fourie, newly-appointed CEO of Oryx Properties, says the mall offers everything from convenient shopping to a fun, family dining experience.
This year, the mall will undergo a complete facelift, bringing both its look and its offerings up to date. New tenants are joining this much-loved mall with the first John Dory’s in Namibia set to open its doors, Queenspark, Cappellos and Checkers Liquor.
The food court will be redesigned over two levels, making space for great new restaurants. An outside eating area will offer close proximity to the family entertainment centre.
“We’re excited to be introducing a trampoline park, glow-in-the-dark putt-putt, bowling alley, a climbing wall and much more,” said centre manager Thea Thornley.
The mall’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its N$17-million 1MWp rooftop solar-power plant, which generates about 20% of the centre’s electricity. The 1 407MWh generated by the plant during the 2016 financial year reduced the mall’s CO2 emissions by 1 128 tonnes.
