Significant progress is being made on Concor’s major refurbishment project at The View, an existing section of Fourways Mall that borders Witkoppen and Cedar Roads. The project forms part of a comprehensive upgrade to both the interior and exterior of the mall, together with the reconfiguration of tenant spaces - all aimed at delivering a more modern, seamless and pleasant shopping experience.
Martin Muller, Contract Manager at Concor, says the transformation will create an exciting contemporary layout that will accommodate new tenants. “This project is all about future-proofing the centre and improving the retail environment. The modernised finishes, improved flow and enhanced comfort levels will elevate the overall experience for shoppers and the incoming tenants.”
The refurbishment includes a complete upgrade of the building façade, featuring recycled timber cladding and performance glazed shopfronts. The high performance glazing has been selected for its ability to reduce glare and heat, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment for shoppers. New balconies with glass balustrades are also being added, together with Alubond architectural elements that contribute to the sleek modern exterior aesthetic.
Externally, the parking area - a crucial part of any retail destination - is undergoing extensive refurbishment. Large sections of the parking surface have been uplifted and layer works re-established before being surfaced with asphalt. All parking upgrades are being executed in carefully planned phases due to the live nature of the mall, with Concor taking every measure to minimise disruption to shoppers and tenants.
Inside the centre, the upgrades include modernised ablution facilities, expanded family bathrooms and new baby-changing amenities to meet the needs of diverse shopper groups. The reconfiguration of tenant spaces varies according to each retailer’s requirements, with Concor delivering anything from grey-box to white-box handovers.
Further enhancements include the installation of new energy efficient escalators to improve vertical movement throughout the mall and the rollout of energy efficient lighting systems to reduce operational costs and environmental impact.
Muller emphasises that Concor’s teams are well recognised for their flexibility and meticulous planning when working in live environments. “A project of this nature requires absolute precision. We are upgrading a busy retail area without negatively affecting the daily shopping experience. Our teams are maintaining the high workmanship standards that Concor is known for, while taking extraordinary care to protect shoppers, tenants and all stakeholders.”
Safety remains a top priority, with ongoing communication and strict protocols in place to ensure a safe environment for all.
The project is scheduled for completion in March 2026, with Concor committed to delivering a revitalised future-ready retail destination for the Fourways community.
