Edge Properties sells Inner Circle to Sinosteel

09 Mar 2009 - Inet Bridge -

Intro
Property development and investment company Edge Properties has sold its commercial office development, the Inner Circle, to China’s Sinosteel Corporation for R500m.

Property Correspondent

In Cape Town, the company is developing Roggebaai Square — a 50m high, R300m development that will offer 10400m² of commercial office space, 1000m² of retail, and a parkade offering 500 bays.

The company is also rezoning land at the junction of the N1 and N2 motorways to create a new precinct, extending Cape Town’s Foreshore with approximately eight city blocks designed for mixed use, with upmarket offices, retail, hotel and residential properties.

Construction also begins this month on the company’s Intaba project, in the new Roggebaai foreshore precinct adjacent to the V&A Waterfront. Valued at R800m, the development will consist of a three-star plus business hotel with 195 rooms, 70 waterfront apartments, and approximately 6000m² for office space, and 1750m² of retail medical suites, restaurants and showrooms. Completion of the project is scheduled for November next year.

The Intaba mixed use development has been revived by Edge Properties, which is developing the Inner Circle in Sandton and the Roggebaai Square in Cape Town.

The Intaba site on the Roggebaai Canal Tourism Precinct was previously held by Old Mutual which had planned to build a 300-room Marriott Hotel with residences at a cost of R350 million in 2003 in partnership with a BEE company. This project had since been shelved.

But the new project by Edge Properties calls for a three star hotel such as a Holiday Inn, Park Inn or Garden Court with 195-rooms along with 70 apartments.

But the new plan looks more viable as Cape Town needs more three star hotels.

I'd love to see a render. It seems Cape Town is getting a fair share of awesome new buildings lately!

we need to be building 2 and 3 star hotels. this project is a good start.
CT has some of the lowest 3 star hotel rates in the world.

:ohno: no more groundcreepers please!

^^ I wasn't expecting anything tall in that district, so I'm not really disappointed. The design does fit in with what's being built around there. Not bad, but would've liked more glass perhaps.

Not great. Could be better

Would prefer

or piss people off and thrown in tall-ish buildings.

so its a marriot?

No sorry thats the the old site plan indicating the site.

design is meh!

Its not bad for the area.

Could be better. Clocktower is a bit arb. Finishes are OK. Polycarbonate should provide a glow at night

At 10F its going to be imposing next to the harbour and front views up to Table Mountain will also be stunning

10 Floors is not bad

I actually quite like this. Would not like to see tall towers in this part, because it would create a wall. Would much rather see a stepped effect from the harbour up the mountain...

I agree JAkes , but behind the elevated Freeway (city side) there needs to be a densification especially on the side near NAspers

Intaba news? I see the design has changed a bit.

Still nothing wonderful, but that does look a bit better.

Hey guys, does anyone know what is happening to this development, because when I go through the thread and look at the site layout and then look on Google Street View it looks like there are quite a few building in it's place, i.e. Canal Quays and some other building by Faircape (Harbour Bridge)? Is the hotel and things still gonna take place??

Yip...are you sure you're looking at the right site?

Yeah I guess the Hotel site is still vacante, the building I were looking at were between the new hotel and the highway. Still, I don't really see anyone in their right mind building ANOTHER hotel in Cape Town seeing the massive oversupply we already currently have, it just wouldn't make sense.....anyways, it would be a great addition to the area!! :P

So what, the Chineese are now in charge of the site???

Chinese may be investors through Edge. Site could suit a 3*

CT suffers from too many non brand 5* properties, No Hilton, Hyatt, Shreaton, Mariott (and all their sub brands from Double tree to Ritz Carlton).

I agree with foxy Sa in general need international 3 and 4* brands and a Hyatt place or Aloft would go down well there

So...it seems this is alive once again. I much prefer this design to the previous designs. It's a lot more colourful, which I personally welcome in such a drab area!

Nice to see something happening there, but :/

But what Andrew?:ohno::lol:
Is there movement on site?
Interesting that they include the Blue train in the renders.

Like it! This would be pretty close to the proposed cruise liner terminal, right?

Yep! In fact they've noted that on their updated development plan:

I think the train confused me a bit lol. I don't like the design of the hotel. It looks like student accommodation.

Plenty of colourful containers next door Lydon ;)

edge been trying to get this off the ground for a while now. Not sure Park iNn would take on hotel so close to the other one in Adderley as they would canibalise their own occupancies

I agree, I already feel that the one in town is struggling a bit considering all the "non-hotel" functions they are holding, etc.

Has anyone been to their roof-top parties....pretty decent but very disturbing to the hotel guests!!! :nuts::nuts::nuts:
