In a clear move away from the traditional , enclosed mall format , Cedar Square , at the corner of Witkoppen and Cedar Roads in Fourways , is ideally situated as a mixed-use centre with an emphasis on convenience and lifestyle . It is necessary for successful retail design to connect with the community , its specific place and its specific needs . The Cedar Square development complements rather than competes with the existing retail and mixed-use facilities in the area . A non-traditional approach to the Square ’ s design and tenant mix effectively caters to the convenience and lifestyle needs of the local upmarket consumer .
Bentel Associates International ( BAI ), internationally recognised retail design experts , was retained by the developers , Fourways Precinct , to design this concept .
The Concept The development complements the existing retail and mixed-use facilities in the area and it has been strategically positioned to specifically service a diverse but upmarket customer base . With a strong focus on convenience and lifestyle elements , the Square ’ s anchor tenants are a 3,000m 2 Pick n Pay supermarket , a 1,000m 2 Woolworth ’ s food store and a 6,500m 2 new concept Mica hardware and gardening store .
The carefully considered tenant mix satisfies shoppers on the move as well the shopper with time to relax and enjoy the shopping experience and lifestyle components .
Although Cedar Square is a three-storey outdoor mall , it is a ‘ soft ’ human-scale building with articulation of surfaces
