The new Irene Link retail mall in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality is nearing completion, with the development on track to open to the public on 29 September 2022.<\/p>\n

The mall forms part of phase 2 of Abland’s R2 billion Irene Link smart precinct development, which began construction in 2019.<\/p>\n

The 75,000 square metre mixed-use precinct is situated next to the Irene Security Estate in Doringkloof and is already home to several commercial buildings, including the Barloworld Logistics head office and other campus-like offices.<\/p>\n

It was developed in partnership with Giflo Developments and the SOM Group. The mall is located on Alexander Avenue, just off Botha Avenue near the N1.<\/p>\n

According to Giflo Developments, the anchor tenants for the mall include Checkers, Woolworths, and Dis-Chem, while the centre will boast the only 200 metre underground shooting range in the country.<\/p>\n

Irene Arms is a gun and outdoor shop with a coffee shop offering. It also has a 10-lane, 25 metre indoor hand weapon shooting as well as a 10-lane 200 metre indoor rifle shooting range.<\/p>\n

According to Abland MD Jurgens Prinsloo, the aim is to make Irene Link one of the first smart precincts or smart cities in Gauteng.<\/p>\n

“At this infrastructure phase, the connectivity of the precinct is planned to link all the functions of the precinct into a smart city with interconnected buildings and security, smart taxi drop-offs and a public WiFi area.<\/p>\n

“We are also designing a Green Star-rated precinct from the ground up and each building on its own is Green Star-rated. This will include backup water and power, with renewable solar energy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

There are also plans for a future Gautrain station<\/a><\/strong> and bus stations in the vicinity, which is expected to augment interest in the node.<\/p>\n
