With a mix of restaurants, coffee shops, clothing boutiques, art galleries, and retail and studio space, and more… Sundays are our busiest day as Market On Main draws the crowd of the inner city public, the cities suburbs and tourists alike.

Maboneng is a community and it's people are the driving force behind the neighbourhood.

A culture of thinkers and makers

A collection of old manufacturing buildings retrofitted with steel, glass and concrete. These original buildings fitted with welcoming street facing retail, commercial work spaces and artist studios juxtaposed with additions of more unconventional modern architecture rising upwards – making the neighbourhood more dense with additional levels of residential loft apartments and double volume penthouses… This is the making of Maboneng.

The renewal of what is now considered a contemporary urban space filled with the character and the charm of the older buildings that were given a second life, bringing the soul and heart of Johannesburg out though a new community of South Africans who now live, work and play in the city.

Make every visit to Maboneng an opportunity to discover more about the precinct and all it has to offer.
