ocated on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal,
Cornubia is a strategic landholding situated within
the northern corridor of the region’s commercial hub,
Durban. Cornubia is the first proposed sustainable and fully
integrated human settlement in the region and has been
declared a national priority project. It will be spread over
1,200ha, with 80ha earmarked for industrial development
and the remainder for commercial, housing and other social
and public facilities. Cornubia Mall is an essential retail
component of the development.
Background
Designed by Bentel Associates International and developed
by Investec Property, this unique retail development was
conceptualised by the need to provide the KZN North Coast
with a differentiated shopping and leisure experience, which
incorporates the numerous aspects of the KZN lifestyle,
and is seen as a ‘retail park’, rather than an internalised
mall. This aspect, including the various elements of nature
and the surrounding landscape being incorporated into the
design, placed the priority of the pedestrian at the core of
the development.
The open air environment has been designed to provide
65,000m² of retail within separate nodes, which are unique
in their architectural language and style.
