Soshanguve South View Shopping Centre development complete

The Soshanguve South View Shopping Centre opened for business on Thursday, 28 June. The centre’s development, lead by Abland, took just over a year to complete.

The centre consists of 7,600m² of retail space with anchor tenants to include Shoprite, Shoprite Liquor, Cashbuild, Pep Store, Ackermans, Russells, and KFC among others. Situated to the south of Hebron Road, Soshanguve South View Shopping Centre will serve the communities of Soshanguve South extensions five, six and seven and surrounding areas.

“Soshanguve is Tshwane’s largest township with a steadily growing population. Currently, there are more than 180,000 households within the area and it is estimated that this figure will increase to more than 200,000 in the near future. It’s an under-catered area with a large amount of retail demand, currently we’re only fulfilling approximately 7.5% of that demand. This is not a once off development for Abland; our long-term goal is to develop a key nodal area in the township. This development alone is estimated to create around 250 permanent jobs for the community,” says Andrew Honeyborne, development manager at Abland.
