Located on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal , Cornubia is a strategic landholding situated within the northern corridor of the region ’ s commercial hub , Durban . Cornubia is the first proposed sustainable and fully integrated human settlement in the region and has been declared a national priority project . It will be spread over 1,200ha , with 80ha earmarked for industrial development and the remainder for commercial , housing and other social and public facilities . Cornubia Mall is an essential retail component of the development .

Background Designed by Bentel Associates International and developed by Investec Property , this unique retail development was conceptualised by the need to provide the KZN North Coast with a differentiated shopping and leisure experience , which incorporates the numerous aspects of the KZN lifestyle , and is seen as a ‘ retail park ’, rather than an internalised mall . This aspect , including the various elements of nature and the surrounding landscape being incorporated into the design , placed the priority of the pedestrian at the core of the development .
The open air environment has been designed to provide 65,000m ² of retail within separate nodes , which are unique in their architectural language and style .
