In 2011, Hyprop Investment and Redefine Properties had decided to sell Southcoast Mall and to focus on core assets mainly in Gauteng where they are based. Hyprop Investment sold its 50% stake in the shopping centre however Redefine Properties later decided to retain its ownership of the shopping centre.[5][6]
