Hyprop plans extension of the Mall of Rosebank

The Nedbank Gardens came crashing down in a cloud of dust and rubble when it was imploded to make way for a new development

The implosion of the Rosebank Gardens site (formerly Nedbank Gardens) on Sunday, 22 April marked a significant milestone in Hyprop's redevelopment plan for The Mall of Rosebank.

The refurbishment of The Mall of Rosebank, which will include the Rosebank Gardens site, is Hyprop's main development focus for 2012. The implosion has now made way for construction, which will begin as soon as the site has been cleared (expected June 2012), town planning approvals have been granted and tenanting has progressed. Pre-letting has met with keen interest from retailers.

The opening of the Gautrain rail link to Rosebank, together with various development projects in the area including Standard Bank's new office complex, are set to strengthen the Rosebank node as a premier retail, commercial and residential hub in the city.
