The new Fourways Mall now positions this shopping mall, located in the Northern Suburbs of Johannesburg, as one of the largest in the Southern hemisphere. The expansion project has added more than 220,000m 2 of space across all levels, with the total space available for retail being 178,000m 2 , including Fourways View and the previously standalone Game wing, which have now been embraced under the Fourways Mall roof. This will soon grow to 200,000m 2 with the launch of French home improvement mega-retailer Leroy Merlin, with its box to be linked to the main mall, currently under construction. The entire project has cost R2.1 billion to complete, supported by roadworks expansions funded by developers Azrapart costing R400 million, which represents a massive investment into a vision for the future of Fourways. Having welcomed more than 250 new brands and stores to the mall’s retail mix, Fourways Mall now offers a total of 450 shops and experiences.
