Its completed work on the basement and is rising upwards...jerome u have a place in this one hey?

my sort of building simple and good use of glass but i really dont like the ground floor

what about the groundfloor dont u like? it not big enough? grand enough?

Yup - bought a place here. Hope it turns out to be a good investment. It is in a good location and I bought an apartment with a wrap-around balcony to maximise the views.

enjoying toronto jerome? the views should still be good for ur unit...even with the bamboo park and musuem dev nearby

Thanks for posting, mate, especially since I'm now 15,000 kms away and can't just take a drive down there whenever I want!

It's really cute... :D

its tiny hey? but nice

yeh it does have a cuteness factor!

Jerome...when can you move in? looks finished!

jerome??? what are the finishes like? views? come on...please...

I was told we can pick up the keys on Monday!! I'm not holding my breath but am hoping so as I have bought tons of stuff and want to move these things in before I leave SA again at the end of next week!! Will keep you posted. I will say, though, based on a visit there a few weeks ago, there are *great* views of the city skyline from my apartment. It's an interesting mix of Vic Embankment, city centrem and South Beach skylines (John Ross House is the nexus point of all three). However, Shaka's Gate will block some of this when it comes up. But, the consolation factor is that I will have AMAZING views of the new the 3 new highrise stunners coming up in the Point (Spinnaker, the Mast and San Rahael. This excludes Shaka's Gate, which I'll also have unobstructed views of).

Okay, am about to make my first EVER attempt at posting pics. Wish me luck...

I recently mentioned in the Point Waterfront thread that the restaurant that has been receiving rave reviews, 'Besides the Point', was going to be moving to the apartment block, 'Marine Point'. I am pleased to announce that it has now officially opened. The interior is still being done up (paintings still to be hung up etc) but it's already looking great and is buzzy, even in its infancy.

I gave it a try and it was FANTASTIC. Friendly owners/managers, service staff, and chefs (who come out and meet patrons). But with a witty name like 'Besides the Point', what more can you expect? A special mention must go out to current co-owners, Charlie Good and Herman Chalupsky, who go out of their way to make every patron feel special.

Service was super-quick and the food was also fantastic. I highly recommend it to Durbanites and visitors to Durbs looking for a new place to hang out. The restaurant is situated diagnonally opposite Timeball Square and the landmark Timeball Tower, i.e. 30 seconds walk from the Point Waterfront centrepoint. When all the surrounding developments are done (and they're coming along very quickly), this location will be hard to beat.

Here goes, 'Besides the Point' restaurant pics...

Great job with the pictures, Roman! I see what you mean about needing some finishing touches, but the place looks good. (And the guy on the right in the 3rd picture looks like Nick Price, circa 1990. :lol:)

its herman chalopsky

Looking good! This is going to do wonders to the area. So now his previous place is closed?

Yes, it has closed. 'Besides the Point' will only be operating out of one premises.

Re: sparse decor - give the guys a break. They are still moving in! What matters is the food, company, and setting.
