all at Newmarket Shopping Centre represents a 34,000m2 premium shopping
experience in Alberton and is situated on the intersection of Heidelberg and
Swartkoppies Roads.
Project Overview
This expansive site - once home to a well-known horseracing track - provided the
inspiration for Newmarket Mall to incorporate the symbolism and memory of the sport
into its architectural identity and design theme.
Design intent towards enjoyable and efficient interior and exterior spaces has resulted
in careful planning of pedestrian flows, while ensuring ease of access and wayfinding.
Expansive, naturally-lit interiors guide movement within, incorporating thematicallyinspired iconography and fixtures within the indoor shopping experience.
Mall at Newmarket Shopping Centre is the product of a larger masterplan and feasibility
analysis, recognising that this centre would quickly evolve into a catalyst for future
development. Current uptake on retail space and sustained popularity with shoppers
in the area has proved to be true, with plans already underway for increased mixeduse offering on the stand and expansion of roadways into and out of the development.
Newmarket’s strong tenant mix is set to cater for the needs of the greater Alberton area,
which includes Meyerton, Vosloorus and Katlehong. Market research for the project
showed that Alberton, which consists of a large residential market of almost 200,000
households, was more than ready to receive the new shopping centre.
