We at Steel Studio are proud to announce our involvement in some of the more notable building projects that have been taking place in Johannesburg over the last couple of months. These building projects are all seen as high profile developments within the property sector, due to either their location or project profile.

The expansion crosses over Bath Avenue and once completed, the new floor area will be approximately 62 000m² including old and new.

The new section will have 8 levels – 6 levels parking and 2 levels retail.

Newtown Junction (Potato Shed) – Mall
Construction of a mall for the redevelopment of the derelict Potato Shed in Newtown, Johannesburg, Gauteng. Plans include a mall, and a hotel. Newtown Junction, as it is called, will bring the first 21st century mall and four-star City Lodge to the precinct. The 2ha plot behind Museum Africa offers flea market and retail shopping, offices, a 180-room hotel and an open public square. The entertainment sector also benefits, with additional facilities for the Market Theatre, including parking for 700 cars. New is combined with old by incorporating a major portion of the existing Potato Shed structure into the design. The shed is just four years shy of a century old and, in keeping with its heritage status, Atterbury has brought the existing structure into the plan, keeping the original roof trusses and iron work found on site. Value: R743 Million(unconfirmed).
