JSE-listed Redefine Properties is investing R70m into the redevelopment of Park Meadows Shopping Centre in the East Rand of Johannesburg, which will “add more choice and make visits easier for the community” according to the group.
By enhancing convenience, refreshing facilities, and strengthening the tenant mix with the introduction of new anchor tenants, Redefine is ensuring that Park Meadows remains attractive to shoppers and tenants alike. This measured reinvestment forms part of Redefine’s broader strategy to actively manage and future-proof its convenience-led retail assets, it said.
A Woolworths Food will open, expanding the centre’s grocery offering. This will be complemented by WCafé, Woolworths’ coffee and light meals concept, and WCellar, its dedicated wine and liquor format. Food Lover’s Market is expanding to include a liquor section, giving customers more choice under one roof. Collectively, these additions bring fresh energy to the tenant mix and broaden the reasons to visit Park Meadows, Redefine said.
Alongside the retail changes, Park Meadows is investing in improvements that support access, flow and the overall shopping environment. Works include a new entrance to ease movement in and out of the centre, speciality parking bays to better accommodate larger vehicles and a refreshed building façade that creates a more modern, welcoming look.
The upgrades are being delivered in carefully managed phases to minimise disruption so shoppers can continue to enjoy a seamless experience throughout.
“Park Meadows has been a cornerstone shopping destination for the East Rand community for many years,” said Leon Kok, Chief Operating Officer at Redefine. “This investment is about aligning the centre with how people want to shop today: conveniently and efficiently, with access to the right mix of retailers. By introducing anchors like Woolworths and expanding Food Lover’s Market, together with improvements to access and comfort, we are helping to keep Park Meadows relevant, resilient and a pleasure to visit,” he said.
Park Meadows Shopping Centre is located in the heart of the East Rand.
