Betts Townsend Taylor is proud to have been the principal agent and joint project manager, together with Abacus Asset Management, for Baywest Mall. The mall forms the centerpiece of Baywest City, a massive new mixed use development in Port Elizabeth. The entire precinct is being developed by Billion Group and Abacus Asset Management in joint venture, and aimed to create over 6,000 permanent jobs in the area on completion from May 2015.

The sheer size of the building and the various technical, logistical and environmental aspects have all combined to make this a particularly challenging project. Nevertheless, the team has kept up with the construction programme and completion was on time.
