The Futuregrowth Community Property Fund (“Comprop”) has acquired Sam Ntuli Mall, which brings the Comprop portfolio to 24 shopping centres, with a total gross lettable area of more than 420 000m2, valued in excess of R7.3 billion.

Sam Ntuli Mall is a recently developed, high quality regional shopping centre situated in the large township of Katlehong, approximately 28 kilometres south-east of the Johannesburg CBD. The 30 276m2 shopping centre is anchored by Shoprite, Pick ‘n Pay, Boxer and Cashbuild - with an internal mall as well as a number of line shops trading directly onto an expansive parking area that includes several drive-thru offerings.

Sam Ntuli Mall is centrally located and is easily accessible via Tugela Street and Masakhane Street. The shopping centre has excellent commuter access with an on-site taxi rank servicing local routes and the main taxi rank located less than 1 kilometre away, servicing commuters to and from Johannesburg. There is extensive parking available for customers with vehicles and a pedestrian crossing allowing for easy access by customers on foot from the neighbouring community.

The acquisition brings the Comprop portfolio to R7 billion in size, which makes it one of the biggest specialist property funds in South Africa.”
