Earthworks are already underway for the recently announced new retail development which has been inspired by some of the world’s greatest piazzas and arcades -- Melrose Arch Shopping.

From 1 November access to the parking basement from the Melrose Boulevard, the closest entrance to Corlett Drive, will be closed to facilitate construction.

However alternative access to the basement parking is available at the Crescent Drive entrance, which is accessible by turning right at the second traffic light after entering Melrose Arch and is located on the left hand side, after passing High Street.

The basement parking can also be accessed when entering Melrose Arch from the Atholl Oaklands Road entrance, by turning left at the first set of traffic lights.

The new Melrose Arch Shopping will provide a cosmopolitan 28,000m2 retail and leisure space at the trendy mixed-use precinct in Melrose, Johannesburg. Developed by Melrose Arch Development Company, the R1 billion new open-air retail combines traditional high street shopping and retail centres with anchor retailers; Woolworths, Truworths and all 14 Foschini brands.

Earthworks will be completed by December with construction beginning in early 2007. Opening is scheduled for September of 2008.
