Job Description

Welcome to Melrose Arch

Melrose Arch is a vibrant and cosmopolitan mixed-use precinct in the affluent northern suburbs of Johannesburg, much loved by locals, domestic visitors, and tourists alike. It is also a privately owned and professionally managed new urban precinct built on Smart City principles, offering convenience, physical security, exceptional hospitality and a sense of community. This prestigious, vibrant, world-class destination sits in a class of its own, head and shoulders above the shopping centres, office parks, apartment blocks, and strip malls that surround it.

Melrose Arch welcomed its first visitors in 2001 and has since become one of South Africa's favourite places to live, work and play. Bustling with boutique browsers and cafe culture, it offers a truly international lifestyle experience, with high-street retail, alfresco dining, top international hotels, health and fitness clubs, and more. Voted South Africa's Best Place to See and Be Seen for nine consecutive years, this iconic mixed-use precinct employs smart city principles to deliver state-of-the-art security, fast and reliable connectivity, and sustainable eco-efficiency. It is no coincidence that Melrose Arch has become one of South Africa's landmark business and residential addresses
