Original Concept The scheme for the original shopping centre was developed by the OK Bazaars Development and Estates Division , for Old Mutual Properties . This took place over 4 phases , commencing in the late ‘ 70 ’ s and ending during the early ‘ 90 ’ s . Situated on Atterbury Road , one of the main eastwest feeders to the CBD and alongside the N1 Highway , the existing development was placed in the centre of the site . It was surrounded by open parking on the southern , eastern and northern faces , with a large Telkom cable yard blocking development to the west . Three entrances off the external road networks serviced the scheme .
