New shopping centre with a water play zone and slides in South Africa’s top security town



Bondev, the developer behind the successful Midstream Estate, is building a new shopping centre featuring a play area half the size of a rugby field.



The new centre, Shopping on Eastway, will serve the affluent Midstream Estates community, featuring Woolworths, Checkers, and other high-end stores.



Bondev explained that the centre was designed with the latest trends in mind, focusing on sustainability, modern architecture, and innovative retail solutions.



Shopping on Eastway has a strong focus on family and will feature a children’s play area where children can explore, create, and develop essential skills.



Maureen van Zyl wrote that the play area, the centrepiece of the new shopping centre, will feature climbing structures, slides, and crawling spaces.



“The play area has been carefully conceptualised to offer far more than simple entertainment,” Van Zyl wrote.



“Every element has been designed with children’s enjoyment in mind. Crawling spaces encourage exploration, while swings and interactive features keep children thrilled.”



What sets the Shopping on Eastway play area apart is its water play zone. Its features simulate waterfalls and meadow-like streams.



The water features will only be available during warmer summer months, transforming into dry, open spaces in winter.



The area is positioned between restaurants to make it easy for parents to watch their children while they play.



“The layout ensures that children can experience a sense of independence, all while knowing that mom and dad are just steps away,” Van Zyl wrote.



Shopping on Eastway will offer many dining options, including Doppio Zero, Bossa, Calisto’s, and Kauai.



The new precinct will also feature a modern office block that stands adjacent to the retail shopping centre.



The architects, ARC Pretoria, said that the new development will offer unparalleled access to dining, wellness, and retail amenities.



Shopping on Eastway is currently under construction and is expected to launch in October 2026.
