Central Square Central Square is is a mixed use complex in the heart of the Menlyn Maine precinct . It incorporates boutique shopping , offices , a Virgin Active Classic Collection gym and a 240 room hotel . These various uses are brought together by a central open air piazza to create a dynamic , vibrant environment to suit the modern lifestyle .
Central Square is the retail and hospitality centre for this new urban precinct and was developed on land that was mostly residential . When Central Square began construction three office buildings had already been completed in the precinct , the road network had been established as part of a larger masterplan done by Boogertman + Partners Architects and another building had started construction .
Planning Central Square spans numerous erven and over three townships so the consolidation of the sites and acquisition of the required rights took a lot of close work with the city planning division . In addition to this The Capital Hotel , Menlyn Maine was developed on its own site by its own team within the Central Square erf .
