In a sit-down meeting with Fourways Review, the centre’s management stated that the massive three-year project will see the mall transform into a 170 000m² super regional mall, which will make it one of the largest in the country and a first of its kind for the Fourways area.

Michael Georgiou, CEO of Accelerate Property Fund said, “These days, there’s a greater demand from consumers for convenient and easily accessible shopping, entertainment and lifestyle locations. We plan to provide Fourways residents with a world-class mega mall to ensure that everything they need is on offer, close by. We are in negotiations with a number of top international brands and will be able to share further news on this later in the year,” said Georgiou.

He added that with Phase 1 only a few months away from completion, shoppers can look forward to a newly renovated ground floor, known as the ‘Lake Level’ which will boast an incredible variety of food stores, lifestyle elements and entertainment for the entire family.

“The popular Bounce Fitness Trampoline concept will have a new home at Fourways Mall with a state-of-the-art trampoline arena featured in a 4 500m² store,” Georgiou said and added that the expanded food court will introduce its exciting new tenants such as Simply Asia, Marcels Frozen Yoghurt, Adega Express, Steers, Milky Lane, Debonairs and Sausage Saloon, alongside existing food tenants to remain such as Wimpy, Ocean Basket and Diya.

“International food brands will be joining the stable, but will remain undisclosed until closer to the launch date. Local movie complex, Ster Kinekor will remain in the tenant mix and the country’s top Adventure Golf destination is still on the Lake Level,” explained Georgiou.

Shoppers will have easier access to the mall with three floors of the new eight-level parkade being made available with the Phase 1 launch. “In order to compensate for any inconvenience during the renovation months, golf-cart transport straight into the mall will be on offer from the parking area,” Georgiou said.

“Fourways Mall has been a central part of the area for the past 20 years and is now moving into a new era to better cater for the Fourways community. It is the perfect location for the country’s newest mega mall to rival any other in the province.”

The extensive expansion and refurbishment plan is expected to be completed in 2018 and will complement plans to position Fourways as a new central business district. The expansion plans will see the surrounding centres such as Fourways View and the existing Game building, being connected to Fourways Mall to create one space, under one roof that will become a mega mall.

The existing structures will be refurbished and upgraded and an estimated R270 million is set to be invested in the expansion and upgrading the adjacent road infrastructure.
