shopping

In line with our mission to create sustainable communities along the principles of “new urbanism”, most of our large-scale developments are mixed use projects incorporating retail elements alongside commercial and residential components. At Westlake, Steenberg Lifestyle Centre is a thriving village-style collection of boutiques, wineries and cafés, while at Royal Ascot, The Paddocks provides a dynamic mix of lifestyle and convenience stores, restaurants and pubs.

At Century City, of course, retail therapy moves into another gear altogether. With more than 400 shops to choose from, Canal Walk is Africa's largest retail and entertainment centre, offering the most compelling comparative shopping experience under one roof on the continent. Acquired by Hyprop and the Ellernine Brothers in 2003, Canal Walk is more than just an unbeatable shopping experience. From its breath-taking architecture, to the live events and promotions staged regularly in its state-of-the-art promotions court, to its 40 restaurants, coffee shops and pubs, Canal Walk has been designed to entertain.

In addition, the Colosseum at Century City also offers a great array of coffee shops and convenience outlets – including a Times Cafe, Vida E, Mamma Roma and a Woolworths Food – specifically selected to appeal to the busy office-workers in this impressive new commercial node on Century Boulevard.
