This will be followed by the rejuvenation of the centre\u2019s two adjacent vaulted wings.<br \/>Phase one includes a glamourous triple-volume faceted glass fa\u00e7ade around the main lifts, a new geometric tiling design and striking curved organic ceiling bulkheads that will unite to create a new age elegance with sweeping lines and timber accents.<\/p>\n<p>General Manager for Gateway, Feysel Potgieter, said that work has commenced on the first phase but would pause for the festive season. Phase two, which will focus on the adjacent wings, will be completed in 2023.<br \/>Sustainable practices and intelligent technologies within the new Great Hall will pave the way for Gateway to embrace future retail trends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur strategy is based on the three R\u2019s of sustainability \u2013 namely reduce, reuse and recycle. We believe that to create a space for people to enjoy and to ensure future value for the community, we cannot compromise. Materials and finishes have been sustainably sourced or made from recycled materials. We have also repurposed the existing natural stone in the mall,\u201d Potgieter explained.<\/p>\n<p>To propel Gateway still further into the digital age, energy sensitive lighting and electronics will be used. This approach will extend to operational components such as sanitary ware, escalators, lifts and air conditioning chillers, aligning Gateway with Old Mutual Properties\u2019 national commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Gateway is currently one of the top 100 largest malls in the world and the third largest in South Africa. The shopping complex \u2013 which will not be extended during this latest upgrade \u2013 measures over 176,000sqm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will be doing everything possible to ensure our customers continue to enjoy their experience during these refurbishments and are very proud to be able to continue to improve our customers\u2019 journey throughout the mall\u201d said Potgieter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">41<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/gateway-commences-multi-million-rand-metamorphosis\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
