Project Description
The Mall of Africa will be the largest retail development on the African continent to be developed in a single phase and will occupy “the heart” of the mixed-use Waterfall City development.

The “super-regional” shopping centre will offer 130 000 m² of retail space. Confirmed tenants include local and international brands such as Woolworths, Edgars, Game, H&M and Checkers Hyper.

The mall’s top level will boast a 4 500 m² undulating steel and glass roof with curved bulkheads that allow for daylight entry, as well as a “luxury mall” section that will offer high-end brands and a champagne bar.

At the centre of the mall, the interior will open onto an exterior restaurant area and the green lung of the Water City development – a large park that extends towards the bottom of the mixed-use development. The mall will also have 6 500 parking bays.
