process,” he says.
Scope of work
The scope of work carried out includes
upgrading of the main entrance at the food
court, and the escalators connecting the two
shopping levels have been realigned to allow
easier flow from the entrance into the centre,
thereby creating an ideal shopping environ-
ment. This has also created more space for
the new banking mall on the lower level.
First National Bank, an existing tenant, has
relocated to this area while Nedbank, a new
tenant, has also started trading here. In the
food court, tenants have been relocated and
new stores have been included.
There has been a major improvement
of all mechanical, electrical and fire safety
systems, including the implementation of
green energy saving measures wherever
possible. The public toilets have also been
upgraded aesthetically. Modern alterations
weremade to themain entrance fromPretoria
Street as well as the secondary entrances
located along the pedestrian promenade in
Hill Street. A new, unified signage has been
proposed for the building exterior.
