this is my fave development its soo cool how they've kept the his and hers facade

forgot the name of this development but next to it is the

now we get to the mandela rhodes place

this is how the buildings looked before.... quite far with the project know but this what we call being gutted these guys took it to the next level

this is the surronding area how many downtown areas in sa have class like this we many not have the height but at ground level....

highstreet shopping is still the cape buzz in the cape i loveee these buildings

now down to the foreshore *note i've left out longstreet and about 7 new u/c ..because at the time i took these they weren't working on them

The middle bit (this is for spire)

thats the fountain suites and Hotel to your right ....its current underconstruction(scaffolding) being gutted and there working on the landscape outside

The Foreshore
