V&A Solve

Food lies at the heart of who we are as a neighbourhood.

More than 22.5% of the area of our shopping centre is dedicated to food and food-related products (excluding grocers). This is more than double that of most regional shopping centres.

Makers Landing at the Cruise Terminal is home to a Kitchen Incubator, where industry comes together with innovators to foster new businesses. It is also home to a shared industrial kitchen space, where innovators can test products on scale without the crippling overheads of conventional commercial kitchens. Our aim with Makers Landing is to support entrepreneurs and SMMEs and make a real difference, one plate at a time.
