Hard on the heels of a R500-million investment in inner city residential apartments
The R390-million
development, on the old power station site on the corners of Lower Long Street
and Hans Strijdom Avenue,
will have 176 apartments with parking bays, shops, restaurants and office
space.
Named "Icon", the
two 18-storey and one nine-storey blocks will occupy a 4 000 square metre site
flanked by the Convention Centre, the Cullinan Hotel and Holiday Inn 350 metres
from the V&A Waterfront entrance.
A feature will be an atrium open to the
public, an inner street, closed to the weather but open to the air and
protected from the south-easter.
The atrium will also house
a "Wall of Remembrance", which Roomanay said would be designed in
consultation with the South African Cultural History Museum.
The cheapest of the
penthouses would go on the market for R4,3-million.
