R388m Ntuzuma Junction mall targets April 2027 opening in Durban township
Written on
Exemplar Retail and AJ Property Holdings are developing the R388 million Ntuzuma Junction shopping centre in Durban, a two-level 17,000 sqm mall anchored by Boxer and Shoprite with an April 2027 opening target.
A R388 million retail development is set to change the shopping landscape in Ntuzuma, one of Durban's largest residential areas, with construction plans moving ahead for an April 2027 opening.
The project, known as Ntuzuma Junction, is being developed by Exemplar Retail and AJ Property Holdings. It will be anchored by grocery retailers Boxer and Shoprite and is expected to include healthcare, technology, cellular and other convenience tenants.
Ntuzuma Junction is planned as a two-level shopping centre with approximately 17,000 square metres of retail space, to be built in Ntuzuma G, an area with a large residential population and what the developers describe as strong demand for formal retail facilities.
The development's research estimates that about 119,500 people live within its main catchment area, spread across roughly 29,000 households, with an estimated annual per capita income of R33,100 and retail buying power of about R1.5 billion.
The site sits along key local roads with traffic volumes estimated at between 700 and 1,000 vehicles per hour, and existing taxi and bus routes are expected to make the centre accessible to residents who rely on public transport. The developers said municipal approvals have been secured and several national retailers are progressing through their own approval processes.
