Hollard Insurance is the latest to join the rush to turn old offices in the Johannesburg inner city into apartments. The short-term insurer is transforming its old premises, 6 and 10 Anderson Street, into luxury residential blocks.
The buildings, to be renamed Ashanti and Dogon, will be renovated to consist of 126 luxury apartments, ranging from 31 m² to 125 m² and from R250 000 to R1m. This works out at R8 000/m² for a bachelor pad and R6 000/m² for a larger, studio-style apartment. The buildings' African names will be reflected in their exteriors and interiors.
The project is a joint venture between Hollard and PHAB Properties, known as Leungo Investments. Basetsana Khumalo and Modise Motloba are among the directors.
Leungo Investments director Potlako Gasennelwe says the complex will feature a crèche, spa and retail component . There will be plenty of parking and first-class security.
"We aim to attract true urbanites to the CBD," says Gasennelwe. "People who are ready to embrace modern yet village-style living similar to that of New York ."
She adds that institutions such as Standard Bank, AngloGold Ashanti, First National Bank and Absa have thousands of employees, many of whom might be in search of homes conveniently nearby.
The complex will also cater to those wanting a home away from home: 50 of the apartments will be managed in a rental pool scheme by Urban Hip Hotels.
