The co-owner of Fourways Mall, Accelerate Property Fund, continues to sell down valuable investment properties as it battles to exit a situation where its entire future hinges on that mall.
On Tuesday, it announced the sale of the Bosveld Bela Bela shopping centre, which appears to be known by the whole community as Bosveld Mall.
This transaction sees the listed entity, Accelerate, net R88 million in cash for a property valued at R95 million. It says the disposal yield for this deal is 8.6%.
