Redevelopment of Sandton City - Retail Expansion

Construction of the first phase for the redevelopment of Sandton City, Sandton, Johannesburg, Gauteng. Liberty Properties will spend R1,77 billion to refurbish the existing complex. This initiative will also comprise 30 000 m² of new retail space which will take the complex to 158 000 m² gross lettable area, as well as the addition of 900 parking bays. It will also see the strengthening of the super-structure to allow for the parking deck above Sandton City. One of the key objectives of the extension is to optimise customer flows. This will be achieved with the creation of a "continuous loop mall" connecting the existing mall on both shopping levels to the new mall to create a complete circuit between Woolworths and Edgars. A new volume entrance court will have an entrance point from Rivonia Road to Sandton City. The new entrance will also provide a 'street address' for the centre. A new external piazza will be positioned at the entrance and will feature a mix of alfresco restaurant and coffee shop seating.
