Located at Menlyn Maine, Pretoria, Time Square is the latest property to be developed by the Sun International Group. Representing the largest development in the hospitality, gaming and leisure industry since the construction of Sun International’ s GrandWest Casino in Cape Town in 2000, Time Square takes its place as the group’ s flagship property.
Comprising a state of the art casino, luxury hotel, conference facilities, 14 restaurants, lounges and bars, upscale retail outlets and an 8,000-seat arena, Time Square hails the start of a new era in entertainment, events and conferencing for Pretoria. The hotel will introduce a new concept in that it will offer a mixed grade of hotel accommodation in a single building. There will be 96 Standard rooms( three-star equivalent), 94 Luxury rooms( four-star equivalent) and 48 Premium rooms and suites( five-star equivalent) accommodation.
Developed at a cost of more than R4 Billion, Time Square successfully creates a destination for entertainment, gaming, dining and luxury accommodation. The second largest casino in South Africa, Time Square features 2,000 slot machines and 60 gaming tables spanning two floors in its current configuration.
The Casino was opened in April 2017. The Sun Arena and the Maslow Time Square Hotel are currently under construction. The arena will host its first major attraction in November 2017 and the hotel will open its doors in April 2018.

• Create a large, high-profile entertainment complex appropriately and sensitively within the urban fabric of Menlyn Maine- in terms of both its visual impact
