Accelerate Property Fund, the 50% co-owner of Fourways Mall, may be forced to write off the R800 million it is owed by various parties related to Nic Georgiou, the other co-owner of the mall.
The November 2024 settlement agreement with the parties involved lapsed due to suspensive conditions not being fulfilled within the required timeframe.
Accelerate is currently in negotiations to conclude a new agreement on similar terms as the original settlement, but if unsuccessful, it may fully impair the R800 million in its financial results.
The complex settlement agreement involves no cash outflow from Accelerate and includes proposed payments to Azrapart, the developer of Fourways Mall, totaling R796 million.
