tterbury Property Developments’ new R1.4 billion Newtown Junction mixeduse development in the Joburg CBD recently took top honours and scooped
multiple awards at the 2015 SA Property Owner’s Association (SAPOA) Annual
Innovative Excellence in Property Development Awards.
Newtown Junction was declared the overall winner at the coveted awards, after also
scooping awards for best mixed-use development and the overall transformation award.
Introduction
In a bold move, JSE-listed property owner Attacq and Atterbury Property Developments,
in partnership with the City of Johannesburg and South African Heritage Resources
Agency, embarked on this R1.3bn landmark project, believed to be one of largest
multi-use developments to open in Johannesburg’s CBD since the Carlton Centre in
the 1970s. dhk were the lead architects for the development, working with Mashabane
Rose Associates on heritage aspects and LP Architects on the retail elements of
the development.
Inner City Regeneration
Newtown Junction is an important commercial catalyst for the area, providing new
retail and office space and reinvigorating the existing arts and entertainment venues,
representing a substantial investment in inner city regeneration. The new development
has provided vital extensions to the urban streetscape of this cultural precinct, in the
form of a landscaped public piazza, open events space and new routes through the site,
for both the visitors to the mall, surrounding arts and events venues, as well as for use by
the new office tenants.
