Construction has begun on the redevelopment of Parkdene Boulevard, a retail centre in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni.
Set to open in October 2024, the centre is being upgraded by Abland Property Developers and Retail Africa in collaboration with Nedbank CIB and the Ellerine Group.
With a striking new design and a refreshed retail offering, the centre has long served Parkdene and its surrounding suburbs with its location on a major thoroughfare. The suburb itself has also undergone a period of redevelopment and expansion with the construction of multiple high-density residential developments giving rise to increased demand for quality retail in the area.
“We are excited about the potential for Parkdene Boulevard to meet this need and provide an elevated shopping experience within an established yet growing node,” comments Grant Silverman, Director at Abland Property Developers.
The redevelopment involves expanding the centre from 11 000m2 to approximately 32 000m2 and upgrading, expanding, and modernising a long-standing Checkers Hyper located on the site.
Checkers and other existing tenants, including Checkers Liquor and Spec Savers, will continue to trade throughout the construction period.
The development team is excited to introduce additional tenants such as Crazy Plastics, Dis-Chem, and Edgars, as well as various food options. It will also offer two new drive-thrus, with Burger King and KFC joining the existing McDonald’s Drive-Thru, all conveniently positioned for both residents and commuters in the area.
“The time is ideal for this redevelopment project, which will revitalise an established retail centre on a highly accessible and well-located site,” says Richard O’Sullivan, Executive Director of Retail Africa.
The redevelopment project will introduce complementary retail offerings, services, and restaurants, as well as landscaped green areas, to elevate the overall shopping and customer experience.
