In the lush landscape of Shongweni, near Hillcrest outside Durban, an exciting new retail development is set to transform the way we think about shopping environments. Westown Square, which opened to the public on 27 March 2025, is a retail lifestyle destination and a carefully crafted urban ecosystem that challenges traditional retail design paradigms.

The project was designed by MDS Architecture in a joint venture with Boogertman + Partners Durban.“ The project stands as a testament to progressive architectural thinking that prioritises human experience and community connection,” explains Donald McGillivray, partner at MDS Architecture.
At the heart of Westown Square is The Barn, an iconic structure that serves as the spatial centrepiece and‘ cultural anchor’ of the development
