R104 million Cavendish Connect retail boost

The R104 million refurbishment of The Link Shopping Centre by Old Mutual Property Group involves refurbishing the existing retail and mall areas in The Link to the standards of adjacent Cavendish Square, another Old Mutual property, and building two pedestrian bridges at first floor level to connect the two centres. The Link, which is bounded by Main Road, Vineyard Road and Dreyer Street, will be renamed Cavendish Connect. A R7 million upgrading of the Dreyer Street informal market between the two centres is also part of the project. It is expected to be completed by September 2007.
