Pretoria, 15 October 2026 — Faerie Glen Shopping Centre is embarking on a major redevelopment that will reshape one of Pretoria East's established shopping destinations. Construction started this month on a project that will transform the centre into The New Quarter, introducing a refreshed neighbourhood lifestyle destination designed to bring shopping, dining and community connections together.

With the centre positioned alongside two streams, the redevelopment has also been carefully designed to settle naturally into its surroundings, reflecting the community’s strong connection to the environment and creating a considered relationship between the built and natural landscape. The new design incorporates a modern architectural perspective and will be built to last.

Expected to open in November 2027, the redevelopment into The New Quarter represents a significant investment by Moolman Group, in partnership with Retail Evolution Fund, breathing new life into this established Pretoria East landmark and giving it fresh appeal for a new generation.

A New Vision for a Familiar Destination

Located on the corner of Atterbury Road and Selikats Causeway, the centre’s Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarket has been an integral part of daily life in Pretoria East for decades, earning the trust of generations of shoppers through its value and convenience. The redevelopment builds on that legacy, creating a destination that will give even more reasons to visit.

Expanding by approximately 8,000m², the refreshed centre will feature a fully upgraded Pick n Pay Hypermarket alongside a brand-new 3,000m² Woolworths, Woolworths Café and Woolworths Edit. The expanded retail mix will introduce new fashion, health and beauty stores, essential services and everyday conveniences, while a lively restaurant node will create an inviting outdoor space where family and friends can gather over great food and entertainment.

Designed Around the Community

Construction will be phased to minimise disruption. Regular updates on construction milestones, new retailer announcements and behind-the-scenes progress will be shared via the centre’s social media platforms and community communication channels, ensuring shoppers remain informed throughout the journey.

"This redevelopment is about investing in the future of Pretoria East while recognising the important role that this beloved centre has played in the area for many years," says (insert spokesperson name). "The redevelopment has been intentionally planned to create a destination where convenience meets lifestyle, giving local families a place they will come to cherish."

The redevelopment signals a new chapter for Faerie Glen Shopping Centre, with The New Quarter set to offer Pretoria East residents a refreshed destination shaped around their everyday shopping and lifestyle needs.
