Joburg's new green town square.

Nine Yards is a design-focused precinct on the corner of Jan Smuts Avenue: bespoke food, wellness, lifestyle, art and culture in a walkable, welcoming setting.

Find what is here

Four blocks around the square.

The Nine Yards block, the Garden Shop, Lumley House and Rosebank Office Park sit side by side between 1st Avenue East, Jan Smuts Avenue and Chesterweg.

This model is built from the site plan on Nine Yards' own parking page. It shows the blocks, not every building.

The four blocks raised from the plan, with small buildings and trees on each.

26 shops, cafés and studios around the green square.

Restaurants, coffee, a deli and gelato, fashion and homeware, a gallery, yoga and a gym, as Nine Yards lists them in its directory.

See every shop

The planned Nine Yards network.

SB Concierge has proposed IAMNet, a wireless network built for the precinct that patrons, shops and businesses sign up to. It is a proposal. It is not live at Nine Yards.

Illustration only. The poles show where coverage could sit. Their positions are to be confirmed.

The whole precinct with a pole standing in each block and rings of coverage spreading across the ground.

Join the planned network

Choose who you are. You get the path for you, with every step still to be confirmed marked as such.

This is a rare find in Gauteng and so worth experiencing. Really enjoyed our time here. Gorgeous food and excellent coffee. Go early to avoid crowds. Parking is limited.
Theresa, Google review
It is an amazing area with great restaurants and shops. The restaurants have great food id specifically reccomend ti amo if you're going for breakfast. It is a great idea for a day out instead of the mall especially if you want to find you're new favourite spot.
Ashleigh Maherry, Google review
A stunning place to go if you’re looking for a nice outdoor lunch in Joburg. They have many restaurant options. I highly recommend the Italian Deli and of course a Zuney burger! Parking is a bit of a mission but definitely worth the wait.
