The New South China Mall in Dongguan, China is the largest mall in the world, with a gross leasable area of 659 000 square meters. It was opened in 2005, but had remained vacant for 10 years and thus been dubbed as a “Dead Mall” until its renovation in 2015. By comparison, the largest mall in South Africa is Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Durban at 220 000 square meters. (http://bit.ly/2BHrnJd, http://bit.ly/2zAZUHL)
