Design Quarter Fourways , Johannesburg ’ s once premier décor and homeware destination , has been redeveloped as a holistic modern-living lifestyle retail centre . The phased redevelopment was designed by MDS Architecture for Investec Property Fund . Offering 24,570m 2 of mixed-use development , Design Quarter is a curated , connected , convenient experience for surrounding residents which was completed in July 2023 .
Donald McGillivray , partner at MDS Architecture , said , “ Design Quarter is a secure , access-controlled precinct located on a prominent site along Winnie Mandela Drive ( formerly William Nicol Drive ). It is a convenient and sophisticated gateway to the greater Fourways node .”
New Attractions as a Lifestyle Destination A number of expansions and appointments have been added . The reconfiguration also facilitated the creation of a Food Street , a distinctive feature at Design Quarter . The double-volume industrial design concept creates a food area that spills out onto a new reconfigured and repositioned outdoor piazza strategically positioned alongside the recreational offering of The Golfers Club and TREK Bikes .
This north facing , open-air zone is unique in the local shopping area with a childfriendly piazza . It serves as the heart of the entertainment area with greater pedestrian access , landscaping , living sculptures and a water feature . The lines between the
