“We hope the mall will continue to empower
the local community in a way that is sustainable
in the long term,” says Kisten.
Tower Mall is funded by Absa, designed
by VH+S Architects and its leasing consultant
is Citynet.
The Developer worked closely with Citynet
and Dipula to ensure the right tenant mix at
the right rentals. In doing so it secured leading
retailers selected to meet local shopping needs
including anchor retailer Shoprite.
National retailers opening at Tower mall
include Cashbuild, KFC, Jet, Pep, Mr Price,
KFC, Clicks, FNB, Standard Bank, Capitec Bank,
