Retailers like new Jhb shop centre
2008-04-04 · Gauteng
Retailers are seizing the opportunity with gusto to rent space in Melrose Shopping, the new 28,00sq m shopping centre being built at a cost of R1bn in Melrose Arch.
Eleven 7,500sq m rental agreements were signed last week which will see big brand names such as Uzzi, Young designers Emporium, Identity, Truworths and @Home moving into the development. These agreements are in addition to Woolworths, which is already accommodated in Melrose Arch, but will be moving to a new 6,700 sq m flagship store in the new centre.
Nicholas Stopforth, director of the Melrose Arch Development Company, says agreements with the rest of the centre's tenants will be finalised within the next few months and several restaurants will be announced soon.
He says Melrose Shopping will copy the ambience of world-renown shopping destinations such Regent Street in London and Grafton Street in Dublin.
The centre's pivot will be the Piazza, an urban square that is ideally suited to a music festival or an open air opera concert. – Sake24
