The first phase of the new multibillion-rand Castle Gate mixed-use precinct development in Pretoria has officially opened its doors to the public. Home to some of the latest store concepts for the likes of Woolworths, Checkers, Dis-Chem and Builders Warehouse, Creamer Media Journalist Simone Liedtke gives us a quick tour.

Engineering News was invited to visit the site a day before its official opening on November 26.
Built with the intention of “making something that creates convenience and makes life easier”, Atterbury development manager Raoul de Villiers tells us a bit about the new Castle Gate centre.
