So you want to live in a city apartment?
Believe the hype – the city is being renovated and anyone that can and wants to is snapping up a snazzy place. In reality they’re all pretty expensive for the floorspace (some are ridiculously small), however if one considers Manhattan and London central and the price of apartments there, it seems to be relatively well-priced.
Then there are the speculators amongst us that are waiting …
for a mass renewal period where all of a sudden there are loads of blocks being upgraded at the same time pushing the competition higher and thus encouraging better value for money. But one must ask- could this be the start of that wave?
First up is 100 Jorissen – thanks to Zithu for the tip –
They go from R200g’s – R.4million depending on what size you’re after – therir location is ideal – right near Nelson Mandela Bridge and with a fantastic view of the city but it’s in Braamies not the bowl.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF GOOD LIVING
Situated in the centrally located suburb of Braamfontein, 100 Jorissen is an exciting new development that takes city apartment living to new heights. With 161 unique residential apartments and 5 luxury penthouses, this designer block is part of the inner city growth and renewal drive – the latest property trend to hit Johannesburg.
Modern lines blend effortlessly with practical industrial detailing, while multiple courtyards, landscaped roof terraces, balconies and patios take advantage of the spectacular Highveld climate. With a multitude of lifestyle features on offer, 100 Jorissen sets a standard for inner city convenience.
Next up is THE NEWTOWN development is in Quinn street at the MILLS – the old Premier Milling headquarters – an amazing building in another rapidly developing area… They are right off the highway and easy to get to… They’re selling quickly too and are at the top end of the range – from R600 – R1m.
“the newtown will consist of 30 chic urban apartments and 7 breath-taking penthouses, with each apartment having a sweeping view of JO’burg’s skyline.”
Then there’s the STALWARTS, the guys that kicked it off – URBAN OCEAN – Alphonso Botha and his team – of the famous Apprentice apartment – they’re looking to expand into a wider market and their friendly marketing lady KATY is always keen on a chat and a brisk stroll around the city.
ENJOY and let us know if you buy something!
If anyone knows of any other developments – bring ’em on!
