The Gateway Mall Project, Malawi

The Gateway Mall Project is a $45 million mall development comprising 18,000 square metres of gross lettable area in Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi.

The mall will cater to both local and regional customers and will be anchored by major South African retailers as well as a number of key local retail players.

The land was acquired from the Government of Malawi on a 99-year lease and the site includes the potential for a 7000 m² extension of the mall. There is sufficient space for a 150-room hotel project to be implemented at a later stage.

Completion of the mall and occupation: late 2014.
