As an extension of our work on the O. R. Tambo Master Coordination Plan, Ikemeleng prepared an Urban Development Framework for a proposed commercial development adjoining the existing Western Terminal Precinct at O. R.

The proposed development comprises the decking of these land parcels to form an artificial ground plane for a proposed mixed-use precinct, laid out on the principles of New Urbanism, connecting directly to the retail mezzanine of the terminal buildings, and to the airport’s Gautrain Station. The proposed development comprises 220 000m2 total bulk, including retail, offices, hotels and a convention centre, as well as 5400 new parking bays.

O. R. TAMBO MASTER COORDINATION PLAN
Contract Value: Multi Billion
Client: Airports Company South Africa
As part of our work on O. R. Tambo’s Midfield Development, Ikemeleng, working in joint venture with Osmond Lange, also developed a Master Coordination Plan (MCP) for the non-aeronautical land adjoining the airport. The MCP identified a number of Aerotropolis precincts surrounding the ORTIA site.
Based upon the location of each precinct, a core focus was assigned which in turn determined a development vision and rationale for the particular precinct. A spatial logic was built up, whereby primary commercial precincts were earmarked immediately adjacent to the two passenger terminal precincts (Western precinct and Midfield/Southern precinct), a proposed Industrial Development Zone adjacent to the new Midfield Cargo precinct, and a series of secondary commercial precincts located along the proposed ORTIA connectivity ring accommodating complimentary and subsidiary land uses.
These secondary commercial precincts are located both on ACSA-owned land (Northern, Denel and Jones Road precincts) and privately-owned land (Rhodesfield, Lancaster Park, SAA Technical, Emperors). The MCP covered more than 1200 hectares of developable land, identifying opportunities for the development of up to 4 000 000m2 of bulk within the proposed Airport City.
