“The mall has excellent access and egress
and is located on an off-ramp in South Africa’s fastest-growing residential
node” ~ Siza Ngebulana, Founder and CE Billion Group
The development is on a major interchange
connecting Midrand, Centurion, Sandton, Johannesburg, Krugersdorp and Pretoria.
The R1.5 billion
development is the first of its kind for the region with a total area of 75 000
square metres - the completed vision of Forest Hill City is a mixed-use
development that combines retail and lifestyle with A Grade office space, two
hotels and high end residential apartment blocks – all set in a safe, urban hub
environment.

The ice rink will be operated by the same operator located at Northgate Shopping Centre and this will be ready for use by the end of June.

“My way of Life” the mall offers unrivalled entertainment not just because of
the wide range of retail offerings but in an environment that is friendly and service
orientated!
Forest
Hill City has blue chip national retailers including Woolworths, Pick n Pay,
Checkers, Edcon Group, Foschini Group and Mr Price Group. Although some tenants are yet to open, this
mall is well worth visiting for its already open large range of retailers
offering a superb shopping experience!
Banking on Retail
Nedbank
Corporate Property Finance, provided the funding of R1.36 billion for Forest
Hill City. Forest Hill’s tenant mix and
future development plans demonstrate an understanding by the developers of the
growing trend among many South Africans where mall
visits transcend mere shopping outings and have become family entertainment
outings.
Kudos
go to The Billion Group for being one of the first retail developers in South
Africa to fully embrace the shopping and family entertainment trend with their
entertainment offering at Forest Hill!
The
opening of Forest Hill City Mall on 29 May 2014 has turned the area into an
economic hub, creating jobs and acting as a catalyst for further development in
the area. The mall caters for a mix of
LSMs which creates social cohesion, and hence friendly and safe communities for
people to work, play and live. A meeting
of cultures and LSMs!
