Strategically located in the upmarket suburb of Fourways, one of the fastest developing commercial and residential hubs in Sandton, north of Johannesburg, the centre underwent extensive refurbishments and upgrades from 2017 to 2019. Positioned as a destination retail centre, FWM’s tenant mix focuses on shoppertainment, making it an attractive choice for shoppers beyond its immediate catchment area. The Mall has approximately 400 stores, including local and international fashion brands, electronics, homeware, department stores and specialty shops. Notably, it offers a diverse range of entertainment options, including The Fun Company, La Liga Experience, Altitude Beach Club, Ster Kinekor (including a dedicated kid’s cinema), Hamleys Play Park, Adventure Golf and Bounce Inc with a free jumping arena, X-park, Big Bag, and an exclusive Clip ‘n Climb arena featuring more than 20 uniquely themed indoor climbing walls. FWM also provides 8,000 parking bays for added convenience. Accelerate owns 50% of FWM.
