The Ibadan Mall or Palms Ibadan, is part of the Persianas group of Palms shopping centres. The mall has a GLA of between 18,000 m2 - 21,000 m2, making it more or less the same size as the Palms Lekki. The mall is the first international standard mall in Ibadan and will be completing other retail/recreational facilities in the city such as Ventura Mall and Heritage Mall. One notable thing about this mall is that it boasts of the largest Shoprite store in West Africa, with a GLA of 4,754 m2. |
Jabi Lake Mall - 26,479 m2 - Abuja - FCT
As mentioned in our previous entry: Jabi Lake Mall (26 479 m²) will gain the crown of Nigeria's largest mall upon completion mid next year, however it will marginally lose out to the West Hills Mall (27 700 m²) in Accra Ghana, for the title of largest in the West African region.
Delta Mall - 13,980 m2 - Effurun - Delta State
As we mentioned in our previous blog entry: The Delta City Mall is a $55 million retail facility being developed by South African financier; Resilient Property. The mall is situated in Effurun, Delta State, which is a gateway to the Capital, Warri. The Delta City Mall is however the largest of their current portfolio, with a total GLA (Gross Leasable Are) of 13,980 m2. As shown in the table below, that would make it the 11th largest mall in Nigeria, upon completion in March 2015. Shown above are more recent images from November 2014.
Lekki Peninsula Mall - 22,000 m2 - Lagos - Lagos State
The Lekki Mall is an $83 Million facility that will soon rival Persianas' Palms Shopping Mall, which is situated more than 20 kilometres away. The Palms will continue to hold sway in the Victoria Island/Lekki Phase 1 axis, particularly as the mall will be expanded to a 60,000 m2 facility sometime in the near future. However the Lekki Mall will be a valuable amenity to the residents of the Sangotedo community and surrounding areas, to the east of Victoria Island. Until the Palms in Lekki is expanded, it will also hold the title of the largest mall in Lagos alongside the Ikeja Mall, with a GLA of 22,000 m2. The mall is expected to open its doors in April 2016. The images above, show the foundation works from January 2015.
