Green Initiatives
In 2016, Menlyn Reconfiguration Phase 1 achieved
a 4 Star Green Star SA Retail Centre Design rating
by GBCSA. Phase 2 of the development was
designed and constructed in line with the same
sustainability principles and will target the same
certification later in 2017.
Since the very inception of the project, the
Developers and the Professional Team have
aspired to realise a building that is designed and
constructed in line with sustainable principles.
These include efficient energy and water use,
improved wellbeing of occupants and visitors as a
result of ample daylight and connection to exterior
and careful selection of internal finishes.
In addition, the development provides facilities
for alternative transport – dedicated cyclist parking
and showers, preferential parking for fuel efficient
vehicles as well as integration of the development
into the region’s Mass Public Transport system.
Construction And Documentation
The entire project was produced within a BIM
process with all consultants and specialist sub-
contractors (i.e. structural steel) using the BIM
models for documentation and services co-
ordination. The 3D modelling assisted in explaining,
inter alia, complex steel details and connections to
all of the role-players.
Murray & Roberts had a plotter and printing
facility on site whereby all consultants issued
all documentation electronically to site for
distribution to the relevant parties. This assisted
with the speedy electronic delivery of construction
documentation to site considering the extremely
tight programme and ensured that the contractor
was at all times working with the latest revision
to any drawing.

Conclusion
The redevelopment has had a positive economic
impact, creating many additional jobs and
introducing new tenants into the Menlyn node.
The development of the new Menlyn Shopping
Centre has met the owner’s requirements in all
aspects - namely scale, size, status, yield and long-
term strategic placing in the market place.
UPPER FIRST FLOOR PLAN
Menlyn trades over four levels of retail with the Ground
Floor being the dominant footprint. It is flanked by a seven
level parkade on the southern side, a three level parkade
on the eastern side and a new three level parkade on the
northern side facing Atterbury Road.
