THE retail experience of Westown, Shongweni, is set to open early in 2025. The 50 000m² Westown Square marks the activation of the first project within the development of Westown – the New City of the West.
The construction of the Westown Development was launched about a year ago by the Fundamentum Property Group, along with stakeholders in the community and the eThekwini Municipality.

Since then, the site has undergone upgrades, such as the upgrade of Kassier Road and the development of Shongweni Training Centre, which is set to help develop the skills of the youth in the area.
Donald McGillivray, MDS Architecture partner, says the design is by MDS in a joint venture with Boogertman and Partners KZN for developers Fundamentum Property Group (Fundamentum).
Westown Square has been created as a high-street environment that prioritises the movement of people, social spaces and lifestyle. The design is open, permeable and accessible, which encourages connection and interaction as part of the retail experience,” he said.
