“People thought I’d lost my mind buying down here, but it just confirmed my excitement about the area. And this building had clear potential – with the most fantastic architectural integrity. Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to have a view like this? That, for me, was the catalyst for believing that people would want to live downtown, and would want to be in an environment like this.”

THE STORY
The artful conversion of 155 Smit Street, a once semi-derelict building, into the most prestigious inner-city apartment block is widely recognized as a landmark project in the city’s development. Its iconic-glass fronted apartments with 360 degree views over the city skyline and the Nelson Mandela Bridge, gave the company it’s signature style, and set it on a path of design-focused, detail-obsessed, and human-centred redevelopments that would see it become one of the most sought after residential properties in South Africa, that would fundamentally change the area forever.
This bold move, by a 25 year old, established the company’s rightful place as the initial catalyst for urban renewal in Braamfontein – and has become the industry standard for creative and progressive urban property development.
