Located in the hipster neighbourhood of Braamfontein, 44 Stanley promises a modern aesthetic with a classic feel. This establishment boasts eclectic stores and top-notch restaurants, under a spacious, leafy courtyard. We take you on a tour through this maze of designer meets droewors.
A stand-out point of Johannesburg
Akin to international levels of multi-use shopping spaces, 44 Stanley utilises its artsy feel to its advantage. It provides an exciting alternative to the mega shopping centres that dot Johannesburg and a welcome respite during the mad shopping frenzy of the festive season. With the next year being 2023, 44 Stanley is set to turn 20 years old.
The healthy olive trees that snake their way through the courtyard give the impression of shopping outdoors. And that's exactly what founder Brian Green envisioned when he turned the old AA testing grounds and buildings into the courtyard we all know and love today. The focus has always been on providing easily accessible, local products and the support of small business vendors.
