Just days after the fire incident at Sarit Centre's Westlands mall, the management came out on Thursday and announced that the mall would reopen in a week's time.
The owners said that the building had been certified as structurally strong by city engineers.
Business came to a halt with traders left counting losses after fire broke out on the ground floor of the mall Friday last week.
This was followed by quick evacuation and no casualties were reported in relation to the incident.
“We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the emergency personnel and first responders who came to our aid,” said the mall management in a statement on Thursday.
“The mall has been certified as structurally sound by the relevant authorities. We are now working round the clock to complete the repair and restoration works in a safe and timely manner. For those tenants whose outlets have been affected by the fire, we have identified temporary spaces within the mall for them to trade in to minimise disruption of their businesses,” the press statement read.
“We are aiming to re-open the mall for trade towards the end of next week, and will provide further updates as our repair and restoration works continue,” said the management.
