Jakaranda Centre is a popular local shopping centre located on the corner Nico Smit and Frates Roads and has been servicing the local community for more than 40 years. The centre has undergone several smaller redevelopments in its lifetime. Jakaranda Centre is proudly owned by Public Investment Corporation who are investing in the future by creating a contemporary shopping and lifestyle hub for the community.

The shopping centre has a local landmark location. The design response to this, has been a large over sailing roof over the main entrance, which is the apex of the site, where three main roads in the area intersect.

The existing two residential apartment blocks on the property, have also been refurbished and upgraded into modern lifestyle units. A residential use such as this brings customers to the retail development. It also contributes to a lively pedestrian presence and an increased convenience retail support.
