On 24 January 2019, the City of Johannesburg Executive Mayor, Cllr Herman Mashaba will be joined by City Manager Ndivhoniswani Lukhwareni, for visits to the first three of 84 properties earmarked for redevelopment.
Councillor Leah Knott, MMC for the City’s Department of Economic Development, Reuben Masango, the MMC for Development Planning, Johannesburg Property Company CEO, Helen Botes, and other critical stakeholders will also form part of the ceremony, where the winning developers will be presented with award letters.
After a rigorous tender process, two developers were successful in their bids to revamp 3 developments in the inner city.
Just over two years ago Mayor Mashaba committed to turning the inner-city into a construction site. The approval for the release of 84 buildings by the City Council, last year, saw this mission gain great momentum.
It is envisaged that these 84 buildings will deliver an estimated 4 000 units for student accommodation, small business premises and even more affordable accommodation for some of our poorest residents.
Details of the event:
Date: Thursday, 24 January 2019
Meeting point: Metro Centre – New Council Chambers, 158 Civic Boulevard, Braamfontein
Time: 09:30am
Transport and refreshments will be provided for all members of the media joining us on roundabout visit to the three developments.
