THE PINES, CONRADIE PARK, PINELANDS
The Pines, a convenience retail zone with an aspirational edge, will be one of Conradie Park’ s final achievements – helping to put this mixed-use housing development head and shoulders above anything comparable in South Africa.
Developed by Concor, the 22ha project has been under construction since 2019, and is bringing an added sense of community to the Pinelands area. According to Mark Schonrock, Property Development Executive at Concor, the quality of the housing units and the project’ s carefully designed features and landscape is unmatched.“ An important element of the Conradie Park concept is its mixed-use zoning, ensuring that residents will have easy access to key retail outlets within walking distance of their homes,” says Schonrock. At the same time, The Pines complex has convenient parking for shoppers – adding to the amenities available to the local community, he said.”
There will be 13,000m 2 of retail space, including a supermarket, fast foods, fashion and service outlets. Another 2,200m 2 will be dedicated to co-working space and play areas. There will be 230 ground level parking spaces in front of the centre, as well as 330 roof top covered parking bays on the first floor of the complex.
“ In line with our conceptual design to make the most of the available space at
Conradie Park, the parking arrangement will be counter-cyclical,” said Schonrock.“ During the day, the parking serves mainly the retail area, while overnight there is availability for the residents of the adjacent blocks.”
The Pines is ideally placed for the five residential buildings – each of which will be four or five storeys high – to be constructed around the retail area. Units in four of the five blocks will be available to the open market, while one of the blocks will be designated for firsttime home buyers who are recipients of the Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Programme( FLISP), a government
subsidy promoting affordable home ownership. The five blocks will add over 850 living units to the Conradie Park community. Construction work on The Pines has started with completion expected in the early months of 2026.
