Superbly located on the corner of Outspan and Rivonia Roads , Morningside Shopping Centre serves one of South Africa ’ s most affluent trade areas including the Sandton suburbs of Morningside , Duxberry , River Club , Sandhurst , Sandown and the eastern parts of Bryanston .
Introduction The original centre opened over 40 years ago and , in early 2008 , was purchased by Flanagan & Gerard Property Development and Investment and Grapnel Property Group which secured the rights for this vibrant redevelopment , which took 14 months for completion on schedule .
“ Morningside Shopping Centre is now a AAA grade two-level retail centre , standing over five times its previous size with a fully-let convenient , quality lifestyle retail offering , spanning some 10,500m 2 , that is both exciting and relevant to its market today ,” says Patrick Flanagan of Flanagan and Gerard .
Overview With its 80 handpicked retailers selected for quality products and personal service , the centre is anchored by a unique 1,950m 2 Pick n Pay daily shopping concept store . The one-of-a-kind Pick n Pay store will be inspired by the concept of bespoke shopping .
“ It will become the local grocer to this market , as it were ,” explains Pick n Pay director of property and operations , Izak Joubert . “ The store will have the focus of an owner-managed operation which introduces a level of service , range and quality that will really impress .”
There was an existing shopping centre on the site , which was demolished . An adjacent site was purchased by the developers with frontage on the very busy Rivonia Road .
