Ferndale on Republic , previously known as the Brightwater Commons and the Randburg Waterfront before that , was initially created as a city waterfront development – a romantic notion in Johannesburg in the 1980s . The waterfront element was removed when it underwent a renovation and became the Brightwater Commons , which introduced landscaping and parks to the development as well as a flea market .
New Development Ferndale on Republic is a complete redevelopment , designed by MDS Architecture . Sean Pearce , a partner at MDS Architecture , says that the development has been realised in phases . “ Ferndale on Republic is a mixed-use development with offices as well as large retailers including Checkers , Pick n Pay and Food Lovers Market . Family restaurants and coffee shops are located throughout the new development ,” he says , adding that the Moolman Group has been instrumental in developing the new scheme .

The Ferndale on Republic Consortium , comprising Moolman Group , PHG Group & Braam van Huyssteen , wanted to reposition and rebrand the development as well as increase total GLA to around 53,000m 2
