TO GET ANOTHER SKYRISE BUILDING AT 35 LOWER LONG STREET

CAPE TOWNThe New 35 Lower Long Street in Cape Town’s CBD is currently underway, the 24-storey office tower is a

joint venture development between property developer Abland and the Ellerine Brothers.


The four star green building is on the site previously known as the Ernst & Young offices. According to the developers, flexibility within a work environment has become critical to tenants who require flexible office space and high speed IT Connectivity.

The new 35 Lower Long is an elegant and dynamic tower building that will invigorate Cape Town’s Foreshore precinct.

The building is characterised by a singular sculpted massing with dynamic

glazed facades that extend seamlessly over the offices floors and parking levels. The glazed façade terminates above ground level to emphasize the activated street edge. The entire length of the street frontage along Lower Long & Jetty Street is enlivened by new ground level retail, multiple entry points to the office building and a prominent double volume main entrance.

The two main corners of the building are chamfered towards the roof line, breaking the solidity of the building. The glazing

on the these corners soars upwards past the roofline, further articulating the façade and extending past the building’s chamfered corners, giving the effect of a crystalline screen rather than solid building mass.

The sculptural form of the building provides dynamic views from across the city, both at street level and from nearby buildings. Completion is set for the first quarter of 2020.

2 PYBUS CORNER OFFICESADVOCATESLocated at the intersection of Pybus and Rivonia Roads, this development is strategically near some of the

country’s prominent blue-chip tenants, as well as in close proximity to transport links like the Sandton Gautrain

station and bus network. Reconfigured as a collective workspace for the city’s advocates, the distinctive

design principles, fluid flow lines and customisable interior spaces make for a dynamic, professional and

enabling work environment. The overall layout comprises two building wings which embrace a generous

garden, offering an outdoor-indoor flow in front of the building’s security line.


The arrival floor acts as the heart of the building, creating a dynamic and active zone where the advocates and visitors can rub shoulders. The area is ideal for a reception, waiting area, coffee shop and common library, along with meeting facilities with views onto the garden and terraces. An increased floor-to-ceiling height provides the balance between the comfort and scale required on a more public floor.

Advocates is a sustainable building which will achieve a 4-star GBCSA Green Star rating. Sensible passive design principles and selected active technologies will be used to minimise the impact of the building on the environment, as well as to enhance

the experience of working in, and visiting, the building.

The building layout comprises a regular L-form on a grid that is ideal for offices and advocates’s chambers.The two building wings embrace the generous garden. Internal circulation sits in the centre of the two wings maximising internal planning and circulation efficiencies. The ground-floor spaces activate the garden with their easy indoor-outdoor flow in front of the building’s security line.

PREMIER HOTEL UMHLANGA

They are both going up on the corner of Herrwood Drive and uMhlanga Boulevard, close to the Gateway Theatre of Shopping.

The Premier Hotel will have 130 sea-facing bedrooms, a restaurant, swimming pool and gym, while the Splendid Inn by Premier will have 64 sea-facing bedrooms and its own eatery. Guests at both hotels

will have access to conferencing facilities for up to 400 delegates.

“Our decision to invest in uMhlanga is due to our desire to have properties in every major South African city, as well as in all secondary cities, said Samuel Nassimov, the hotel chain’s founder and managing director, who also announced the group was further expanding its

national footprint to Bloemfontein with a new three-star hotel.

Construction of both uMhlanga hotels is due to be completed in November 2019.

uMhlanga is to get several new hotels and three of them will be four-star rated. Construction has already

started on two new hotels for the Premier Hotels & Resorts Group, which is ploughing a total of R380million

into its four-star Premier Hotel and three-star Splendid Inn by Premier.

Randpark Ridge.


NEW COMMERCIAL PRECINCTPOLOKWANE’S

The Moolman Group and Networth Properties, in a 50/50 partnership known as Polokwane Eastern Boulevard (Pty) Ltd (PEB) has entered into a long term lease with the City of Polokwane for the property on which Baobab Gardens is being developed.

The site is approximately 15.4ha in size, comprising 21 stands ranging from 6,000m² to 16,000m². A limited number of properties were made available ‘for sale’ in such a manner that owners are able to develop themselves. The remainder will be developed by Polokwane Eastern Boulevard (Pty) Ltd (PEB). A number of uses are permitted on the site, from motor dealerships and motor-related products and services, to big box retail, offices, fast food and hotels.

The development is laid out along what will be a tree-lined boulevard containing six traffic circles, each of which will be planted with a baobab tree. The baobab, which occurs locally in the Northern Province and adjacent areas, inspired

the name of the development. The use of the trees adds to the local flavour of the development, and respects the principle of planting indigenous plants.

A total of R43 Million was spent on Bulk Services, Roads and all other necessary infrastructure. The first Erfs have been sold to Italtile/CTM and Landrover/Jaguar who have completed the construction of their buildings and have been trading since October 2017. PEB has commenced with the construction of a Italtile, Zebbies, and Bathroom Bizarre who will all be trading by the end of 2018.

A brand new development from the Moolman Group in partnership with Networth Properties is underway

in Polokwane. Baobab Gardens is a new commercial precinct located adjacent to Munnik Avenue in the

Polokwane suburb of Bendor. The location of the site is in the busiest and fastest-expanding part of town,

close to the Mall of the North. Munnik Avenue also becomes the R81 main road leading to Tzaneen, putting

Baobab Gardens on a strategically important route.


Fast growing node Waterfall is set to become the new CBD of Gauteng

Sitting between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Waterfall is one of the largest urban developments, offering a

concept which connects and integrates lifestyle and business. Featuring high-quality purpose-designed

buildings with a focus on mixed-use precincts, this area is already home to notable power-houses PwC,

Deloitte, Dimension Data, Amrod and the BMW Group SA.

114 HOWICK AVENUE, WATERFALL CITYCummins Sothern Africa Regional Organization (CSARO)

In the heart of the Waterfall Logistics Precinct, the new Cummins Southern Africa Regional Organization building is rising from its prominent site alongside the N1 Highway off Allandale Road.

Modern iconic design with

unique functional featuresJonathan Leibowitz, architect of Attacq’s and Zenprop’s newest developments from Empowered Spaces Architects says ‘Our aim for this mixed-use site was to deliver a unique and iconic modern design that not only functions with integrity,

flexibility and efficiency across the factory and office structures but also delivers a visual and fascinating experience for many vehicles on the N1 of the iconic offices from various elevations. While every aspect of the facility was guided


by the Cummins International Design standards with local adaptations, Empowered Spaces Architects have taken the thinking further by amongst others, making use of different colors and materials to accentuate the profile of the office and warehouse structures.

GEZE well-placed to support growth

Only a stones-throw from GEZE’s Head-Office, the new Cummins Southern African Offices will sit alongside a large-scale factory where powerful & dependable engines for Automotive, Mining and Power Generation applications are to be remanufactured and repaired. Housing such powerful engines requires strict compliance to fire-safety and emergency-exit solutions.

To tackle the scale of the challenge, and the increasing need for seamless functional design, GEZE’s certified double-leaf fire doors feature invisible functionality. With the GEZE ISM providing an integrated mechanical closing-sequence control

function, where closing force and speed can be adjusted, and where the hold-open position may be mechanical or electromagnetic. Horizontal activation panic-bars and locks are designed to enable exit doors to be opened easily in the event of an emergency.

In the factory, the GEZE TS5000 with guiderail is fitted to wider door leaf formats of up to 1400mm, allowing occupants with tooling trolleys and equipment to enter and exit the building with ease.

Hands-free automated access provides Customers to the factory with seamless access, whilst enabling optimal climate control for the interior.

Unencumbered access to bathrooms is made possible with the installation of the GEZE TS4000 overhead door-closer where the door closing delay can easily be adjusted from the front, providing occupants with up to 30 seconds to move through the doorway with ease. Stylish off-set stainless steel pull-handles

GEZE 350CTC used across the factory and office interiors provide reliable functionality, without compromising the beautiful aesthetic and a sturdy hand-feel.

GEZE trusted to drive faster outcomesSays Leeanne Van Heerden – GEZE Architectural Specification Consultant says ‘. One of the toughest aspects of Architectural design is the specification of door and window solutions where expert input and knowledge is becoming ever more critical. That’s where GEZE comes in… our team now has the capabilities to support projects from design through to installation and lifetime maintenance if needed. GEZE’s Award winning solutions, knowledgeable experts and cutting-edge specification technology helps professionals to go faster’.


CSi Thabile Networking Solutions (Pty) Ltd wishes Cummins South Africa all the best in their new Midrand Premises.

CSi Thabile Networking Solutions (Pty) Ltd, a Level 2 BEE company established in 1981, has earned a reputation as being a leader in installing high speed Cable Infrastructures and Data Centres. Its superior expertise in relocating, upgrading, enhancing or establishing new data centre environments or network infrastructures is well-known in their industry.

CSI Thabile’s Sales and Marketing Director, Mark Cheketri highlighted issues regarding technology, experience and service delivery on this project and the philosophy of the company in undertaking various projects.

TECHNOLOGY“We were recently awarded the contract to install the Category 6 Panduit Data Cabling infrastructure and the associated components in the Cummins SA new building in Waterfall, Midrand. The specifications called for the installation of a Panduit Category 6 UTP structured cabling system to cater for their voice, data and security requirements. More

than 40Km of Category 6 UTP cable with associated patch panels, patch cords and fly leads and associated components was required for the +- 750 data outlets.”

Cheketri went on to explain that, “It is most important that the correct standards are adhered to from day one, because generally, routes and ceilings are closed as soon as we finish our first fix. Any mistakes would require routes to be re opened which is a costly exercise and the knock-on effect could have a negative impact on the overall project plan”.“Once the entire project has been completed and the labelling, certification and documentation has been done, the OEM inspects the site and documentation, after which the extended warranty gets issued. The installation should function without any failures for many years as long as there is no physical abuse”.

EMPLOYEES ON SITEIn terms of the number of employees CSi Thabile send to site, “that depends on how far we are behind the electrical contractor. If we are right behind the electrical contractor, we could have 3 to 6 technicians’ on site; if we allow the electrical contractor get ahead of us we could send 20 or 25 technicians to site.

We plan the installation carefully to avoid wasting time on site”.

WORKING WITH THE OTHER CONTRACTORS“Over the years, we have had many opportunities to work alongside the same teams on a regular basis, and on a site like this, we find that the contractors understand each other, and everyone knows what the expectations are. We respect each other’s space because we know that there is a deadline on the main contractor from the developer and an expectation on each of us to deliver”

CONSISTENCYCheketri continued to explain the importance of consistency. “We have been in existence since 1981, and we have staff members that go back more than 30 years with us. The IT industry is small, and service is the name of the game. Although we may face challenges, it’s about how they are resolved that’s important, even if there is an associated cost.

Geo Group Companies help Exxaro Secure the Safety of its New Lakeside Towers Development

The New Exxaro’s Lakeside Towers Office Development was developed over a dolomite rock formation. The dolomite formation is renowned for developing sinkholes and this poses a potential risk to the safety of structures built upon them and hence the people within those structures.

Terra Monitoring and Geomech Africa, both Geo group companies, were contracted to install three sets of rod-extensometers underneath the raft foundation of the building. The extensometers will measure settlement, heave, displacement and deformation in soil and rock below the building and will give the engineers forewarning of the development of any sinkholes.

Geomech Africa used symmetrix drilling to create holes for the rod-extensometers and Terra Monitoring installed and commissioned them. After the completion of the building, the rod-extensometers will be connected to the Emergency Management System of the building where a warning will be issued if any movement of the rod-extensometers is detected.


NEW HEAD OFFICE IS TAKING SHAPEEXXARO’S

Property group Growthpoint is currently developing a R600 million development in Centurion which will

serve as mining group, Exxaro’s, new corporate headquarters. The development is the second phase of

Growthpoint’s redevelopment of the prime Lakeside office site on West Street, Centurion, directly opposite

the Centurion Gautrain Station.


Exxaro’s new headquarters will consolidate its current offices in Pretoria and Johannesburg into a single workspace. The resources group will occupy all of the new building’s 18,500sqm of gross lettable area on a long lease.

The development broke ground in February 2017 and construction started in September 2017.

It is expected that construction will be complete for occupation in April 2019 when it will be able to accommodate up to 1,400 Exxaro staff members.Project manager Dirk Laubscher, who has delivered countless mega-coal projects, heads up the Exxaro Lakeside Development (ELD) project in conjunction with building owner, GrowthPoint. As the tenant, Exxaro is also the customer and therefore Dirk and his team will ensure that the building reflects Exxaro’s commitment to innovation and sustainable business.With ergonomics and aesthetics being

as important as structural integrity and accessibility, core project resources differ from that of a typical coal project. Building architects and industrial designers work alongside systems architects and industrial engineers; art curators alongside quantity surveyors.

“I believe that we have just the right mix of skills and creativity on this project to ensure the successful delivery thereof,” says Dirk of the team.

“Important outcomes for us include accessibility and style, health and safety, as well as overall sustainability of the building. For example, Centurion is quite central but the area is congested so we need to find ways to ease the traffic strain for employees and customers. From a sustainability perspective, features like zoned lighting, water-efficient fixtures, rainwater harvesting for use in toilets and landscape irrigation, and indigenous landscaping are key deliverables. Of course, the building must be both fun

and functional, so we’ll also pay attention to the design of work and meeting spaces, the kitchen and pause areas for employees. For our customers and partners, we’ll focus on great reception and meeting areas.

“ELD is taking us on a fantastic journey that will usher in a new era of inspiration and collaboration in the life of Exxaro,” Dirk concludes.

Designed by AMA Architects, the office building flows with a series of layered fluid curvaceous forms, in flushed glaze detail. Its triple-volume entrance and reception open onto an atrium that soars upwards through at the core of five floors of workspace.The building is designed for a 4 Star Green Star SA certification from the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA).


OPENING SOON IN HOUGHTON R870 MILLION HOTEL The Houghton Hotel is central to The Houghton experience. It combines luxury hotel living with a private

club, designed to cater for your every need. Its unique proximity to the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course

is enhanced by the immediacy of lush gardens and your own personal décor plan, styled to the high

standards that you expect.


The final phase of the Houghton hotel comprises of a luxury 143 roomed and suite hotel and a residential club overlooking the Jack Nicklaus signature golf course. The earlier phases comprised the development of 210 luxury apartments, The Houghton on 12th and The Houghton on 7th, which were sold for a total of more than R2 billion.

The hotel is the “hinge” linking the two apartment blocks on either side. The hotel will have 55 rentable hotel rooms and six suites plus 82 serviced hotel suites that would be sold. Rentable accommodation will be offered in three different room types, ranging in size from 50m2 to 145m2. The serviced hotel suites will range in size from 90m2 to a penthouse of up to 790m2.

Stefanutti Stocks are the main contractors on the project and Boogertman & Partners are the architects behind the design.

Its signature feature is a cascading, terraced water feature set into jungle-like vegetation, which swirls into a waterfall and plunges into a large, circular swimming pool that is complemented by a tidal pool.

Other facilities include a contemporary delicatessen for residents and guests, a fine dining restaurant that has three private dining rooms and menus inspired by the late top chef Billy Gallagher, a Sky Bar, hair and nail bar, gymnasium, spa, heated indoor pool, dry cleaner, a business centre with fully equipped boardrooms and a guest services centre.

Once completed the Houghton will be one of the most luxurious establishments in South Africa.

The Houghton Hotel is about 18km away from OR Tambo International Airport, well located between Sandton and the Johannesburg central business district

and surrounded by a lot of shopping and business areas.

The redesign of the golf course was the first phase of the redevelopment of the estate.

NJR Steel Reinforcing & Mesh

Early in 2016 Stefanutti Stocks Building Gauteng awarded NJR Steel Reinforcing a sub-contract to supply and fix ± 1500 tonne of steel for the new Masingita Towers contract in Benmore. Shortly afterwards they also awarded NJR ± 3050 tonne of reinforcing steel to be supplied and fixed for the new Houghton Hotel project. These contracts were to run consecutively.

Having previously worked with Masingita contracts director Bradley Nortje, NJR tasked our senior contracts manager Jaap Dunsbergen to supervise and administer this contract and subsequently the Houghton Hotel project.

The fact that both of these contracts ran smoothly was due largely to the co-operation between SSBG and NJR and the fact that we were treated from startup as part of their team and not as a necessary evil as is sometimes the case. In addition, Houghton Hotel contracts director Stephen Johnston had spent the required practical component of his degree as a steel fixer on the Bank City project helped us enormously on the Houghton

contract, as he was able to anticipate some of the on-site problems often encountered by reinforcing steel subcontractors. During the course of these contracts, NJR Steel Reinforcing, moved the reinforcing bending yard to Labore in Brakpan, the home of the central buying facility for the whole of the NJR Steel Group and also home to NJR Steel Mesh. The facility is now located inside the mesh manufacturing factory which provides a worker friendly environment and if necessary, a 24 hour production ability.

The mesh manufacturing division and reinforcing were merged to form a new operation known as NJR Steel Reinforcing Mesh which provides a more logical set-up as both companies are serving the same client base.

NJR Steel Reinforcing Mesh greatly appreciates the assistance given to us by the Stefanutti Stocks directors and their on-site management teams, which undoubtedly contributed to the successful completion of both of these reinforcing steel contracts and we look forward to our next project together.


WELCOMES MUSTEK RICHMOND PARK

Set to become the dominant business site on the N7 with easy access, the project is well under construction and is expected to develop rapidly. Richmond Park will provide businesses with a well located, top-quality commercial park with retail, light industrial, offices, logistics and warehousing development.

“The initial 300,000sqm development phase of Richmond Park is anticipated to attract investment of up to R5 billion. This will make it one of the biggest new commercial developments in Cape Town

and Atterbury’s biggest development yet in the Western Cape,” the group said.

Part of the new development is the new Mustek building which includes an office and a warehouse component, the Mustek building was first to get going and is due for completion in August this year. Cape Fruit Coolers who were the first tenant to sign up at the Richmond Park, shortly followed by Mustek and CTM are also currently busy with the construction of their new building which is expected to be completed in April 2019.

The Richmond Corner Retail Centre, a 7000m² shopping centre is also planned to open in 2019. It is expected to house 23 retail stores including Pick n Pay, Clicks and Planet Fitness.Over the next five to 10 years, during construction, the new business development is expected to create around 15,000 jobs.

Richmond Park is set to be one of the largest

property developments in Cape Town, with 300

000m² of gross bulk lettable area on an 84ha

site with a 99-year lease. According to Atterbury,

the development will be a massive undertaking,

aiming to be on the same level of the Waterfall

development in Midrand, Gauteng.

PARK SQUARE OPENS IT DOORS TO MUCH ACCLAIMCONNECTING THE COMMUNITY

The R1billion Four Star Green Star-rated development, developed by Nedport Developments, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nedbank, features 36 000m² of commercial space, a 4 000m² retail area and a 3 500m² connected open square. The generous retail arcade with some of Durban’s finest stores, restaurants and coffee shops, connects the square with the lush Chris Saunders Park. Indigenous trees, grass and planter boxes form part of the development’s design to create an attractive natural open space where a connected work culture and distinctive leisure and retail elements exist side by side.

Designed with people in mind, Park Square connects the surrounding communities through considered stores, restaurants and services while simultaneously being a dynamic place for professionals to work and socialize. Outlets to look out for include a brand new top tier Spar and Tops at Spar, Medstone Pharmacy, Armitage Men’s Outfitters, Pizza Hut, Postnet, Hello Hunny Beauty Studio, Seattle Coffee, Mike’s Kitchen, Sergeant Coffee, D’Lishious Shawarma, the Eye Gallery, Eazi Laundromat and International Bank Vaults. On the mix of retail outlets, Nedport Director,

Ken Reynolds commented, “Selecting the right assortment of retailers for Park Square was a thorough process. We are confident that we have an excellent combination of fashion, food and coffee purveyors as well as great service providers that will attract people to the development to shop, relax and get things done.”

Located on the uMhlanga Ridge close to Gateway Theatre of Shopping, a GO!Durban Integrated Rapid Transport System stop and other attractions, and with ample parking, Park Square will benefit from excellent access in an upmarket, safe and convenient location. Office areas will enjoy a second, more exclusive breakout space which enhances the development’s people-centred approach.

“We look forward to welcoming the community to see what our beautiful considered new space has to offer. We are sure they will be impressed!” concludes Reynolds.

The wait for uMhlanga’s latest business and lifestyle development is over as Park Square, an exceptional

business and lifestyle destination for professionals and community members, finally opens its doors.

UMGENI LIFESTYLE AND DECO PARK OPENS PHASE A

R1.4 BILLION

Eris Property Group, in partnership with PRASA and Intersite Asset Investments believe that this

unique commercial concept is a first-of-its-kind for the region, presenting a safe and beautifully

landscaped zone with green spaces and walkways across 135 000 square meters of centrally

located land, which will become the final piece of the Umgeni precinct masterplan.


“With the first phase of infrastructure nearing completion, we are looking forward to handing over the first site to Zebbies Lighting in November 2018, followed by CTM in early 2019. Businesses that offer anything from home improvement products and appliances, building supplies, furniture, flooring and blinds to outdoor lifestyle products, call centres, offices and motor vehicle dealerships will find this space beneficial. This park will allow businesses to lease a facility designed in accordance with their specifications and will provide them with

the much-needed space to house their showroom, office and distribution within one site,” further explains Lawson.

“There is a trend forming globally where mixed-use buildings provide a range of functions comprising of showroom, office, distribution and lifestyle facilities. The concept of the Umgeni Lifestyle and Deco Park has been inspired by this trend in which businesses will not only be provided with ample spaces, but it creates a safe lifestyle offering where employees or visitors don’t need to leave the vicinity,

as they will be able to shop, eat as well as access the premises and avoiding traffic congestion,” says Lawson.

In less than two months, Umgeni Lifestyle and Decor Park will be a game-changing reality KwaZulu Natal’s industrial and commercial property.

Stephen Lawson, Developer Manager from Eris Property Group comments:

“When you drive along the Springfield and Umgeni industrial areas, there is a significant amount of clutter with haphazard businesses competing against each other. The Umgeni Lifestyle and Deco Park is a unique concept that aims to formalise the vibrant node offering high-spec infrastructure, management association, a ‘green’ environment, comprehensive framework of complimentary services which allows it to stand out from the crowd. We are proud to bring this exceptional opportunity to KwaZulu-Natal and pioneer a commercial property offering of international standards.”
