Reputable property companies Atterbury Property and Circlevest Properties have once again pooled resources in their latest joint venture, I sibaya House, an 11-storey building. This trendy office-to-residential-refurbishment at 84 Marshall Street is located on the corners of Marshall, Anderson and Simmonds Streets in the heart of the city's financial district and on the border of the new Gauteng Provincial Government Precinct.
The ground and first floors of the building will be dedicated to office and retail space. The ten remaining floors will consist of 101 modern, affordable and stylish apartments including studio, one bedroom and rooftop deluxe units.
Isibaya House was originally built in 1964 for the Metal Industries Group. It made headlines in the industry at the time as the materials and building processes used, deviated from the norm. Extensive reinforced concrete was used in specific areas such as lift shafts and a service tower.

Chic, contemporary architecture that incorporates African design principles with quality specs and finishes will be used throughout the development. Isibaya House is set for completion in the first half of 2007. It boasts spectacular views of the city, 24-hour access control and a fully equipped laundry facility.
Isibaya House offers 100 secure basement parking bays with direct access to lifts from each basement floor. Not only does this add to the tight security planned for the building but also increases the convenience for residents who would prefer parking in the building.

In addition, investors have the option to become involved in an exciting and lucrative income pool investment model. It's hassle-free, simple and low risk and is one of the overwhelmingly attractive features of the Isibaya House development.
So hurry. Prices start at around R330,000 and only R25,000 deposit secures your unit!
Why the name Isibaya?
'Isibaya' means cattle enclosure or kraal and the name Isibaya House suggests a place of residence and safety close to the kraal.
Since Isibaya House falls within the Financial and Mining District and is so close to the proposed Provincial Government District, the developers have drawn creative analogies between the purpose the kraal serves in traditional African life and the location of Isibaya House.
It must be remembered that the most important part of any African village, is the kraal, just as the Financial, Mining and Government districts are important to the Jo'burg inner city. The proposed Government Precinct is to be called The Kopanong Precinct (meeting place in Tswana) and since most of the social and political interaction of the villagers takes place within the kraal area, so too will the social and political interaction in the CBD take place close to Isibaya House.
The isibaya (cattle kraal) and the traditional African cattle are symbolically objects or symbols of wealth, so too are the many corporate buildings housed within this financial, mining, social and political district.
The name Isibaya House as well as the modern African design theme, emphasizes the developers' commitment to the African renaissance and the understanding of African traditions and history.
