Mixed-use developments are breathing new life into South Africa’s leading business hubs WORDS & IMAGES: SUPPLIED

S

andton, South Africa’s commercial hub, may be hard hit by the pandemic, but developers, landlords, brokers and tenants are working together to not just revive business here, but also transform traditional ideas around the office space. And they are not alone in their quest.

“Adept investors are ahead of the curve,” says Simon Wilkins, head of Global Corporate Services, Galetti Corporate Real Estate. “Rather than taking the conservative approach, they

recognise the imminent return to work will not be the same.”

And “different” doesn’t mean employees should be concerned.

Wilkins says future office spaces will promote safety, fun and collaboration as many employers entice their staff to return to work.

“Landlords are working just as hard to differentiate themselves and this makes it interesting and competitive. Be it through incentives, amenities or location.”

Mixed-use developments – a combination of retail, residential and commercial all in one building – and co‑working spaces – continue to lead the way as the industry pivots to meet this demand.

“During lockdown, many people chose to forgo their inner‑city homes and move to the suburbs or outlying areas, but now we’re bringing them back through several game‑changing developments that combine work and play,” says Wilkins.

Developments on the rise Waterfall City, where people can connect every aspect of their lives – play, work and stay – became home to some of the country’s largest multinationals in terms of commercial properties before the pandemic. Several residential developments have been popping up everywhere as well. In the past year alone, listed property giant Attacq completed 22,000m2 of development in the area and they now have their sights set on even greater goals – 50,000m2

of additional development plans were recently approved.

“This follows the news that Attacq sold a whopping 20% stake in MAS Real Estate earlier this year,” says Wilkins. “It’s clear that Attacq are now hedging their bets on Waterfall as a sought‑after location. Interestingly, a key component of this investment comprises office space with company citing demand from tenants looking to consolidate their premises between Johannesburg and Pretoria.”

Harbour Arch – Developed by Amdec, the same developers behind the iconic Melrose Arch, Harbour Arch is Cape Town CBD’s first large-scale mixed‑use precinct. On completion, the 5,8ha development will be home to six individual tower blocks with a total 200,000m² of usable space, located in the Foreshore at the junction of the N1 and N2 highways.

“With Harbour Arch set to offer the largest selection of residential apartments in the Cape Town CBD, this location is perfectly primed for residents to take advantage of the high‑grade office space right on their doorstep,” says Wilkins.

Despite its proximity to Cape Town’s most valuable commercial property, the Foreshore has long been an area characterised by missed opportunity and neglect.

Harbour Arch promises to bring working professionals back to the inner city, which is great news for both commercial landlords and business owners, Wilkins says.

117 on Strand – Cape Town’s CBD is a hot spot for visionary developers, with the 117 on Strand mixed‑use development also perfectly positioned to bring some much-needed invigorating energy to the inner city.

Situated on the boundary of De Waterkant and Green Point, the building offers a trendy combination of retail space

(5,200m²) and residential apartments as well as 5,500m² of premium grade office space.

“With office space, coffee shops, a Pick ’n Pay and Planet Fitness on site, residents don’t need to leave the building to grab coffee, go to the office, pick up groceries or work out,” says Wilkins.

JSE-listed developers Ingenuity Property Investments chose the 117 on Strand site strategically, as it falls within Cape Town’s Urban Development Zone. “This means buyers qualify for tax advantages by purchasing property here, which is a significant drawcard for investors.”

The Terrace at Sandton Gate is looking to “blend the very best of urban and suburban lifestyles”. Developers struck a perfect balance between urban convenience and the tranquillity of nature – the development is just five minutes away from South Africa’s financial hub, Sandton, and overlooks Braamfontein Spruit, one of the city’s longest natural greenbelts.

Harbour Arch, currently in development in the Cape Town Foreshore

“Johannesburg’s most prestigious suburbs really lacks a mixed-use precinct, such as the one offered

by Sandton Gate, as there are very few residential areas where shops, gyms, restaurants and even the office are within walking distance,” says Wilkins.

“However, Sandton Gate precinct offers a gym, restaurants, shops, beauty salons and P-grade office suites in addition to their luxury residential apartments.

Growthpoint recently cited properties nearest the Gautrain station as their big‑ticket drawcards and we’re set to see a lot of exciting developments in this area.”

Saxon Square – With Rosebank fast becoming Johannesburg’s most sought-after address, it’s no wonder that the developers behind Saxon Square chose Oxford Road as the location of their new mixed‑use development. Taking into account

117 on Strand in Cape Town the way younger generations are living and working, the development prioritises community by offering a rooftop cinema, residents café and co‑working spaces on-site.

“While the other developments discussed here offer traditional office space within the building or in the precinct, we anticipate seeing many newer developments that offer co‑working spaces inside the building as a way to attract millennial and Gen Z residents,” says Wilkins.

Strength in mixed-use

This marriage of residential and commercial property in mixed‑use developments may be the best chance that the commercial property sector has at recouping its losses and reclaiming its strength.

“The industry has had a tough last two years, but it’s time to respond with creativity rather than by relying on the old formula,” says Wilkins.

“Innovative reimagining of commercial property will separate the winners from the losers in this round.”

Redefining city living A truly sound investment promises not only financial returns, but an improvement in your lifestyle as a whole.

That’s exactly what Steyn City’s City Centre offers WORDS & PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

T

he word “lifestyle” has been bandied about so frequently that it’s easy to forget what it actually stands for – especially when it’s paired with “luxury”, another overused term.

The City Centre at Steyn City brings these concepts back into sharp focus with an apartmentstyle development that redefines the way we look at luxury.

That’s because, while the City Centre encompasses the convenience we have come to expect from apartment living, it’s also undeniably – and intentionally – luxe.

Designed for comfort

The experience starts from the moment you enter the basement

which houses 2,000 parking bays.

Far from the dingy structures we’re familiar with, this has been designed with comfort in mind – so, to ensure residents don’t get lost on the way to their homes, the basement features 18 lift cores, each bearing its own signature design to help navigation. Green lungs and natural light have also been incorporated, so that the basement is a beautiful space in its own right.

Sumptuousness and sophistication come standard, thanks to Blu‑line kitchens with integrated Gaggenau kitchen appliances – in fact, the City Centre is home to the largest Gaggenau installation in the world – as well as boasting Kohler fittings throughout.

Air conditioning and double glazing ensure comfort in all climates and back-up generators guarantee the lights never go out.

Designed for space

The design of the apartment buildings is also out of the ordinary. Far from the typical monolithic block, the homes are grouped in villages, each clustered around a treed piazza. Once the development is complete, bespoke retail and eateries will

The accent on human scale continues inside the apartments, where high ceilings and doorways are the norm, along with rooms that can comfortably accommodate a king-size bed, with space to spare.

Designed for happiness

line these community squares, beckoning residents to enjoy a meal and a chat.

These components add up to a development that has no rival – neither in South Africa, nor in the world. Developers Steyn City Properties are determined to make sure this doesn’t change; their stated goal is to entrench Steyn City as the leading residential lifestyle estate in the world, with the City Centre as a blueprint for apartment living. With the development having recently opened for sales, the time is right to make a once‑in‑a‑lifetime investment.

City Centre, where every day is extraordinary.

Randburg’s revival gains momentum Established more than 60 years ago, Randburg is experiencing a long overdue revival after years in the doldrums.

Johannesburg developer Renprop, which has built several popular residential projects in the area in recent years, says the node’s affordability, access to good transport networks and attractive shopping opportunities help to fuel demand for residential property. The group expects this trend to continue, especially

as neighbouring suburbs such as Bryanston become increasingly expensive.

Considered a premier business and residential node when it was established in 1959, Randburg fell out of favour as Rosebank and Sandton became increasingly popular, particularly over the past two decades. However, in the past few years Randburg’s fortunes have improved, with a rise in office to residential conversions, particularly in the Ferndale area.

New life for old suburbs

Reinforcing these improvements is Randburg’s rejuvenated Ferndale On Republic, formerly the Randburg Waterfront, which is now a more modern, attractive retail and entertainment destination teeming with restaurants and sidewalk cafés.

“Randburg has a lot of potential, and not only because it’s a newer city suburb compared to others in Johannesburg,” says Renprop’s MD, Chris Renecle. “Apart from its affordability, it’s centrally located and close to Sandton and Rosebank. Randburg also enjoys good transport links thanks to the Gautrain and Metro buses that service the area as well as a bustling taxi rank for commuters.

It’s also well located to highway access. Ferndale, in particular, is enjoying a rejuvenation. It caters to the demand for lower property prices, compared to the surrounding suburbs of Bryanston.”

Fern Valley, which is a new Renprop development in the suburb, is

Hatfield Square redefines student living When Paragon Architects designed the facilities at the Hatfield Square mixed-use student accommodation development in Pretoria for owners and developers Respublica and Redefine, it had a variety of social and study options in mind.

“Little did we know that this would provide an ideal social-distancing solution during the ongoing pandemic, as the students have a variety of options in terms of the spaces they can occupy,” says senior associate Antoinette Kloppers. These range from reading a book on a hammock to having a small social get-together outdoors, using a small study room, or simply sitting far apart in the study centre.

Catering to 2,200 students in a variety of unit types, Respublica Student Living manages the development that extends over 51,000m2 (excluding basement levels), with 3,500 m2 of retail space and a mix of restaurants and line shops facing Burnett Street.

The retail industry and especially

restaurants were hit hard by the pandemic, and it’s anticipated that Hatfield Square will benefit from more foot traffic during the summer months to come, bringing relief to these industries.

“As with all buildings besides healthcare facilities and our own homes, Covid-19 has had a significant impact on the development and occupation of buildings. The education sector suffered greatly with lockdown, and most students had to readjust by resuming their studies from their homes, just as we had to redefine the home-work balance.

The facilities were unfortunately not fully occupied during these times,” says Kloppers. “In terms of the way forward, post Covid-19 there will be an increased demand for facilities that provide comfort and a variety of functional spaces.”

“We’re experiencing strong demand and the apartments are being sold off-plan with all costs included, as well as transfer duties.

We’ve experienced steady sales

The demand for luxury estates, including golf estates, is at the highest level in three years, driven by the desire to enjoy a better lifestyle closer to home, says Gerhard van der Linde, managing director, Seeff Pretoria East.

Luxury homes in estates achieve some of the highest prices in the Pretoria area as well as elsewhere in the country. Estates are also popular for rentals and often achieve higher rates compared to houses outside of estates.

by Blocks C and D; the latter being the tallest building in the precinct, and completed last. To enhance the sense of micro‑communities the four blocks were colour‑coded, with each building’s unique colour repeating throughout its floor plates as well as on its façades.

With accessibility as the key driver, pedestrian walkways were introduced on either side of Block D, connecting Hatfield Plaza and the Hatfield Gautrain station. These thoroughfares feature both stairs and ramps, and are therefore also wheelchair‑friendly.

“We shaped the space to cater for both students and the general public, encouraging flow and interaction,” says Kloppers. For example, the line shops were leased to tenants addressing student‑specific needs, together with a few restaurants. This mix resulted in an extremely inviting and welcoming frontage.

with 60% of the sixty-six units already sold. We anticipate a handover of the units in the third quarter of 2022.”

Renprop also has plans for further development opportunities in the Ferndale area, with Renecle saying the group is “currently looking at another property in Ferndale, closer to Ferndale on Republic.”

Top-end golf estates achieve high prices

Golf estates offer a lot more than just security and come with a host of amenities and facilities, he says.

Top-class security is the first vital aspect that buyers look for as they want to live and enjoy leisure activities in a secure environment.

Connecting spaces

The project was completed in three phases. Blocks A and B are located closest to Hatfield Square, followed

currently under construction.

“It offers affordable two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments priced from R884,000 on the border of Bryanston,” says Renecle.

Woodhill Golf Estate in Pretoria East provides the ideal escape and lifestyle for buyers, with access to the Pretoria metro. The Pretoria East area is popular with luxury buyers and home to some of the most sought-after estates.

Van der Linde says golf estates such as Woodhill cater to a broad buyer base, from young professionals to families and older buyers. Property in these estates is considered excellent investments

and buyers are prepared to pay a bit more for the security and luxury of having all amenities on their doorstep. Once people move in, they often tend to stay. Lightstone, for example, shows that 62% of owners in Woodhill have owned their properties for more than 11 years, reinforcing the excellent investment value, he says.

Deeds office data for Woodhill shows an increase in younger buyers with under 35-year-old buyers representing 19% of recent sales compared to just 1% of current owners in this age group.

Luxury and space

The estate caters for both sectional titles, priced from around R2m, and freehold homes, priced from around R5m. The houses are generally luxurious and spacious and can range to around R9m for a unique, top-end home overlooking the golf course.

Woodhill has an 18-hole Peter Matkovich golf course, recreational facilities such as tennis and squash courts, gardens with walkways, and a play area for children. The clubhouse has venues for private functions and meetings, boardroom facilities, a restaurant and bar.

Additionally, the on-site Woodhill College offers schooling from Grade RRR to Grade 12.

most of their information via their phones or tablets, so it’s important for an agent to be technologically and digitally savvy.

No other form of media in history has made as deep an impact on property as digital marketing, with one of the biggest changes the convenience of being able to do most of the initial “legwork” without actually leaving home.

“Accessibility to information means clients are better informed than ever before and this is a good thing because informed buyers and sellers make better choices, and buying property is usually a financial decision that will affect your life for a very long time,” he says.

Comprehensive strategy

According to Diedericks, an optimum marketing strategy should now include social media, database advertising, property search portals and app placements, and digital media showcasing, as well as show days and outdoor boarding.

Is your agent

Strategic digital marketing can help agents reach a broad demographic of potential buyers at a pace never imagined before. “Studies of consumer brand interaction reinforce why it’s vital for sellers to select a real estate agency that has a strong online presence. And at the upper end of the market, which has borne the brunt of the market decline, international marketing reach is imperative.”

W

hen appointing an estate agent, there are a number of factors that sellers take into account, but one that is often overlooked is possibly the most critical – their agent’s marketing strategy and the agency’s marketing reach.

“Sellers quite rightly consider aspects like sales track records, area knowledge and the all‑important property valuations when choosing an agent, but the benefit of a comprehensive marketing strategy when selling a home should never be underestimated,” says Grahame Diedericks, manager principal, Lew Geffen

were only two ways in which to house hunt: by poring over the weekend newspaper property sections or perusing estate agency window displays, but technological advances have forever changed the way we market and search for property.

“These days, at least 80% of homebuyers do extensive online research before making their final purchase and, with so many websites and properties to wade through, a lot of homes will fail to catch their attention,” he says.

“Not only is a good marketing campaign essential to gain the edge in a tougher and more competitive market, it can also significantly impact the final sale price achieved as well as the length of time a property spends on the market.”

When one understands that more than 70% of sales are the result of online enquiries, then agents and sellers can begin to recalibrate where time and money need to be spent.

“And an agent with the correct digital support and knowledge is likely to achieve the best possible price for your home in the shortest possible time,” says Diedericks. “That said, there will also always be a personal element to marketing property.

When it comes down to the wire, having a professional, experienced and legally‑savvy estate agent at your side, is a no‑brainer to ensure a smooth sale that doesn’t reveal any nasty or costly surprises weeks or even months later.”
