The Pavilion

The Pavilion is the second largest shopping centre located in Durban and one of the largest in South Africa. The mall has went through many phases of extensions.

Due to the strategic location, Pavilion has seen considerable foot count growth. The mall has suffered a few armed robberys.

The Pavilion is no longer of the standards it used to be. This is due to years of neglect.

History

The mall was developed in the early ’90s and opened in October 1993 to initially provide 75,000 square metres of shopping space. Subsequently, the centre has gone through six phases of expansion, the most recent of which was completed in 2014, bringing the floor space to just under 135,000 square metres. An additional 35 000 square metre expansion in planned for 2018.
