Morning Glen Mall Shopping Centre

in Morningside Manor and Gallo Manor, eastern Sandton, Greater Johannesburg.

Morning Glen is the original shopping centre of Morningside Manor and Gallo Manor, located at the corner of Kelvin Drive and Bowling Avenue.  After many years of serving a growing community, it is now expanding substantially.  As of 1 November 2009 all shops have moved into Phase 1 of the new part.  Silver Pine Spur opened March 2010 on the upper level, and Pizza Perfect and Burger Perfect in late June.  Parking is copious and free: Both levels are open, accessible only from Bowling Avenue just south of the BP Garage.  The Second Phase is likely to start opening in August 2010.

Artist's Impression

Latest update from Izelda (09/03/2010): "Outside signage is up.
Road works have commenced on Kelvin drive and should be complete by mid May. A new traffic light will be erected on the Kelvin entrance (Phase 2). 
Coming soon: Woolworths, Ocean Basket, Jewellery shop, Oriental take-away, and more…"

History: This is a two-phase project.  Earthworks commenced on 1 September 2008, then construction started on the Bowling Avenue side first for Phase 1.  They are building a deck level with Bowling Ave and there will be 2 levels on completion. The lower level was the original site, which will have the existing mall extended eastwards, and parking accessed from Kelvin Drive. The upper level deck will be accessed from Bowling Ave with the new upper level of the mall and open parking.  A ramp connects the two parking levels.    Phase one was roughly complete in November 2009 and Phase 2 should complete in August/Sept 2010.  We have restaurants coming in Phase 1 (Spur now open) and a Woolworths store opening in August 2010. Phase 1 opened November 2009. The BOWLING AVENUE entrance is open with plenty of parking. On the left is an artist's impression of the upper main entrance, panorama below is in January 2010.  Bookmark this page for the future tenant mix!
