About The Square
Westown Square and The Barn opened on 27 March 2025 and triggered the first development activity within the greater 100ha Westown development.
The 48 000m² Westown Square high-street experience prioritises the movement of people, social spaces and lifestyle as part of the retail experience.
Designed by retail specialists MDS Architecture in a joint venture with Boogertman and Partners KZN, the design is open and accessible which encourages connection and interaction.
Densely-planted walkways, pergola-covered seating, large trees and planter boxes, celebrate the outdoors and set the tone for Westown as a whole. Key features of Westown Square include the Town Centre and Town Gardens as well as the amphitheatre and children’s play areas.
INVESTOR CONFIDENCE
As the development of Westown progresses, so too has the show of confidence in the development, with Absa Investment Bank (Absa) as the primary funder of Westown Square.
This catalytic investment, together with the R730million in roads and other infrastructure currently under construction by the eThekwini Municipality in partnership with Fundamentum, has not only enabled Westown to get off the ground but will leverage a further R14Bn in investment across the Westown development over the next decade.
When we planned Westown Square we wanted to create an experience that was about more than just shopping. We wanted to create a space for people to connect with each other and the environment, an experience that would attract them to Westown and the Outer West. – Carlos Correia Fundamentum CEO and developer of Westown Square.
