#FNB - 6F (16 000m²) - Commercial - uMhlanga | Under Construction

Minimal details on this development for FNB by Eris in Durban planned for Jan 2014 completion. No mention of where in Durban, if it is replacing city offices or what it is planned for.

In Tongaats latest report they mention a national bank opening large regional offices in Ridgeside with construction to start in Jan 2013... gather this will be Ridgeside in Umhlanga then.

Pity it's not in the CBD, for some reason I just assumed it would be in the Kingsmead area.

Well the assumption wouldn't necessarily be wrong, since Std and Nedbank are in the area....

Yeah, but as far as I remember, Std and Nedbank's regional HQ's are still by Kingsmead..... Nedbank are expanding theirs, and Std only relatively recently finished their new one in the area.

Oddly enough, I actually have no idea where FNB or ABSA's regional HQ's are.

FNB are split across many buildings in town and the glass tower on field st is the main one. but also have a few in umhlanga.

Absa have their HQ in town which they spent millions renovating a few years ago... remember the thread....


many of nedbanks divisions are based in umhlanga now

Not when I last went by. There also appears to be groundwork on a site to the left of that picture. Between this site and the Holiday Inn.
