Project overview
About this development
Refurbishment and upgrading of the existing 19 000m² regional community shopping centre known as Jakaranda Centre located on the corner of Nico Smith & Frates Road, Rietfontein, Pretoria, Gauteng. This is a revitalisation of the centre, with additional amenities for entertainment, youth attraction outlets and cinemas, additional parking and revised brand positioning and centre signage. The approach is to keep the existing footprint and reclad the building with a new lightweight, crisp white cladding that would be complemented by a dark glazed façade to give the building a modern, upmarket, sophisticated appeal. A new event and entertainment space is proposed to the south of the site, on the highly visible approach to the centre, to attract visitors. The design also includes new entrances at street level to encourage more foot traffic through a direct connection with the urban environment; additional floors to the existing parkade and strengthening of the existing food court. The intention is to modernise and upgrade the mall to increase its attraction for all tenant representation and strengthen its position within the national retail landscape. The proposal also includes the refurbishment of the adjacent existing residential component.
