In a significant development for Sandton, the site of the former Barloworld headquarters has undergone a remarkable transformation.
The mixed-use precinct, Barlow Park saw the grand opening of its retail site late last week.
Positioned as a vibrant shopping hub right at the gateway to South Africa’s business capital, the new space not only caters to commuters but also to residents of the surrounding neighbourhoods.
The retail space boasts renowned brands in convenience, including Checkers and Clicks, and food and beverage offerings from favourites like Vida e Café and Roman’s Pizza.
The curated selection of daily convenience caters to all tastes and needs and includes Legend’s Barber, Pick n Pay Clothing, Mr Price, Crazy Store, Pep Home, Oasis Water, Levingers Dry Clean & Shoe Clinic, Vision Works, Checkers Liquor, All Fix, PostNet and the ATM service of Capitec Bank.
The opening of Barlow Park Retail marks the realisation of a vision set in motion back in 2017 when property developer and investor Atterbury embarked on the redevelopment of the former Barloworld corporate site.
Initially conceived as an office-centric plan, the project underwent adaptation amid the challenges posed by the pandemic, pivoting towards a residential-led vision for Barlow Park.
Partnering with Divercity Urban Property Group, an affordable multifamily residential rental properties specialist, construction commenced in June 2022, reshaping Barlow Park into a modern, mixed-use community.
The redevelopment enjoyed robust support from stakeholders, with Moolman Group and Twin City Development also investing in Barlow Park, underlining the confidence in the project's potential to redefine urban living standards.
