Development of the Bahnhof Square Mall in Swakopmund, which was supposed to commence last year in April, is finally underway, as “issues between TransNamib Holdings and the Ministry of Works and Transport have been sorted out,” according to Mr Paulo Shipoke of Stark Property Development cc. According to Mr Shipoke the total cost of this massive new mixed-use development on the site of the TransNamib shunting yards is estimated at approximately N$450 million. The developers involved in the development of Bahnhof Square Mall are Stark Property Development cc and Eris Property Group. Excited residents of Swakopmund have been waiting for almost one year
