ABOUT CITY PROPERTY City Property Administration (Pty) Ltd is a residential and commercial property management company, with a management portfolio comprising more than 700 buildings, including over 1000 residential flats, with a combined area of commercial space in excess of 1, 4 million square meters. City Property strives to employ best practice in its systems, management and staff recruitment. This ensures the efficient administration of some 12 000 tenants. Since its inception over 40 years ago, City Property has undergone exponential growth. Starting as a company with no more than six staff members, today City Property employs nearly 400 people and counts two JSE-listed property investment companies, Premium and Octodec amongst its major clients. This is in addition to a large number of private clients. It was City Property, under the leadership of its founder Alec Wapnick, who pioneered the conversion of redundant, abandoned and derelict office blocks within the Pretoria CBD into secure and desirable residential accommodation. After perfecting his model in Pretoria and armed with his belief in the life of the inner city, Wapnick took his successful recipe of regeneration to Johannesburg. In addition to residential spaces, City Property also injects fresh vitality into our inner cities by providing sophisticated, modern and cosmopolitan retail, office and warehouse spaces, ensuring that those who live and work in the CBD enjoy the best that South Africa has to offer. City Property continues to strive for excellence and must therefore remain forthright in that which we value most, including our commitment to the gentrification of our inner cities and our country as a whole, as well as the future generations of South Africans.

ABOUT CITY PROPERTY PROJECTS DEPARTMENT City Property’s Projects Department comprises a collection of professionals in the built environment, including architects, interior designers, quantity surveyors, urban designers and an in-house projects accountant. Additionally, the department often utilises a range of specialist professional teams, so as to ensure that the highest standards are met when taking on large-scale projects and developments. The department undertakes and manages every aspect of the property development process including the upgrade of existing buildings, new property developments and the conversion of office buildings to residential units. City Property’s Projects Department places strong emphasis on urban renewal within the CBD and previously deteriorated areas. This focus is based on the premise that people need to live, work and play in an environment which is safe and enjoyable. Will Rogers (social commentator and actor, 1879 - 1935), once said, “The only trouble with land is that they’re not making it anymore”. This saying certainly rings true in the South African context. The regeneration of South Africa’s CBDs provides its citizens and residents access to employment, accommodation and a range of services and amenities not readily available to many of the country’s communities. Further to this, the Projects Department includes specialists who focus on ensuring that Heritage Buildings (according to the National Heritage Resources Act, Heritage Buildings are classified as buildings that are older than 60 years) are treated as historical assets so that that their essence is preserved. All projects are managed in terms of three key criteria. First and foremost, the team needs to be committed to ensuring exceptional standards and quality. Secondly, time constraints have to be adhered to. The third criterion requires that costs be strictly controlled. The team also employs specialist tenant co-ordinators who manage the process of tenant installations by advising on suitable shop designs and layouts, including finishes that meet the highest standards. This ensures that tenants are successful in their business ventures and that the quality of our retail and commercial spaces is upheld. Additionally, new materials, methods of construction, products and specifications are continually investigated so as to ensure that current trends and aesthetics are incorporated into all of our developments, upgrades and conversions. The range and scope of professionals in the Projects Department ensure that every aspect of each of our developments is tended to with specialist attention and interest. We strive to continually out-perform the competition, thus delivering successful and viable upgrades, conversions and new developments.

FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR Since inception in 1968 City Property’s Projects Department has focused its efforts on urban renewal within the CBD and previously deteriorated areas, transforming buildings and injecting fresh vitality into our inner cities. When corporate South Africa fled the CBD’s of Pretoria for the City’s eastern regions and Johannesburg for its northern suburbs, City Property remained resolute in its commitment to the renewal and development of the city centres. City Property saw within Gauteng’s two major cities a vibrancy, a positive future and a sound investment opportunity. As a result, City Property rolled out an urban renewal endeavour that addressed the problems caused by many years of neglect. A Projects Department was then formed to tackle the numerous projects within the CBD’s in the primary areas of retail, residential and office development. City Property has successfully injected a fresh vitality into our inner cities

Managing Director: Mr Jeffrey Wapnick

by providing sophisticated, modern and cosmopolitan retail, residential and office spaces, ensuring that those who live and or work in the CBD enjoy the best that South Africa has to offer. This publication serves as a valuable exhibit of some, but by no means all, of the remarkable projects that have been conceived of, executed and completed by the members of our Projects team in the recent years.

Tribute to Alec Wapnick Over the years, it is fair to say that Alec made a substantial and significant contribution to the property development industry within Pretoria, Johannesburg and the surrounding areas. He first made his mark on the property industry by undertaking the redevelopment of Pretoria West into a productive, light industrial and mini factory node where Mr Wapnick subsequently pioneered the mini-unit factory concept in South Africa. Instrumental in the creation of Pretoria’s Brooklyn Mall, Mr Wapnick was responsible for the site assembly, as well as the development, of the first two phases of this landmark mall. He then undertook the management of this prized South African retail property asset. Further to this, he led the way with value shopping in South Africa, developing Woodmead Value Mart, one of the most successful developments of its kind in South Africa and gave birth to leading retailers such as Hi-Fi Corporation and Incredible Connection. A visionary and exceptional man, Wapnick has made a valuable and significant contribution to property development

Founder: Mr Alec Wapnick

in Pretoria, Johannesburg and surrounds over the years. Alec is esteemed for his mentoring leadership, and has helped forge the careers of many of today’s South African property leaders. It is widely agreed that his passion, integrity, fair and considered approach and his work ethic have been an example to all with whom he has worked. It was my privilege and pleasure to work alongside him for 23 wonderful years. I thank him for his guidance and continued mentorship all these years. Further to this, I thank him for giving me the freedom to put together a wonderful group of very talented individuals who enabled me to help City Property gain value out of the many buildings that Alec had acquired during his full and busy life time. Alec passed away on 29 August 2012. He will be sorely missed by not only my family but also all those who knew him. He was a kind and generous man who gained much pleasure in giving back to others. His work resulted in the upgrading of many buildings within the Pretoria and Johannesburg CBD’s. As a direct consequence of his work many people who live, work and play in the CBD have benefitted.

Projects Manager: Tom Burke

Accordingly, I dedicate this publication to my dad, Alec Wapnick.

Tribute to Tom Burke This book, which serves as a valuable exhibit of some of the remarkable projects that have been conceived of, executed and completed by our Projects team, would not be complete without a mention to a wonderful man, colleague and friend, Tom Burke, who passed away on 17 July 2012. During 1994 Tom joined City Property, where he looked after the maintenance of property. Tom and I started the Projects team towards the beginning of 1997 with a view to develop a methodology to achieve significant progress in sustainable urban renewal. I attribute a large portion of the Projects Department to Tom’s tremendous competence and his attention to detail. Tom was a man of much integrity and was respected by all that had the privilege of working with him. Acknowledgements Finally, I would like to acknowledge the City Property Projects team for their loyalty, commitment and talent. It has always been a pleasure for me to work with such a wonderful group of people. I feel a special mention must be made of Cecilia Britz, who has never failed to keep the team afloat with her ability to manage the huge volume of administration generated by the team in the course of the projects that are undertaken by them.

PORTFOLIO 2012

Cities achieve much more than isolated humans. Cities enable collaboration, especially the joint production of knowledge that is mankind’s most important creation… because humans learn so much from other humans, we learn more when there are more people around us. Urban density creates a constant flow of new information that comes from observing others’ successes and failures…

Cities make it easier to watch and listen and learn. Because the essential characteristic of humanity is our ability to learn from each other, cities make us more human. Edward Glaeser (American economist)

STATION SQUARE NEW DEVELOPMENT: RETAIL

PORTFOLIO 2012

01 STATION SQUARE In a prime example of urban-renewal, City Property embarked on a property development project which saw the completion of the Station Square Shopping Centre, situated on the corner of Bosman and Jeff Masemola Streets. This new shopping destination comprises 10 000m2 of retail space and has become a bustling metropolis which draws significant pedestrian traffic. The concept was to create a vibrant arcade, which would lead commuters to their final destinations via covered walkways, enclosed by shops. While the southern entrance invites commuters from the train station, the western entrance spills out onto the taxi rank and the eastern entrance leads commuters to Bosman Street and the nearby CBD buildings. The covered walkway canopies were constructed from steel l-section columns and beams covered by a well-insulated sheet-metal roof. These walkways were naturally ventilated with glass louvers, providing a cool, well-lit promenade. Shops, restaurants and service places spill out onto these promenades to create pleasant spaces for people to unwind at leisure. A rhythm of columns together with panels of face brick patterns serve to create the articulated facades. External pergolas cantilevering from the vertical facade surface, together with a line of indigenous trees, form cover to people enjoying the external arcade on Bosman Street.

02 THE FIELDS The client’s brief for The Fields Hatfield Project has evolved a number of times since its conception. What has remained a constant though, has been its nature and purpose: urban renewal. The architect’s vision was to replace the existing buildings with viable substitutes, whilst addressing demands of an urban usage and socio-economic nature. A mixed-use project would address the needs of the area in terms of housing and retail. This brand new, access-controlled development offers ideal living for those working in and around the Hatfield metropolitan node, ideal for student accommodation. The Fields offers retail shop space as well as office space to let, in the hub of the Hatfield business node. The R280 million development has brought a major capital contribution to the revitalisation of the Hatfield metropolitan node within the City of Tshwane’s Metropolitan Spatial Development Framework plan. The Fields consists of a consolidation of seven of Premium’s core properties, which are situated in the street block bounded by Hilda Street to the east, Burnett Street to the south, Festival Street to the west and the railway line to the north. The properties have been strategically packaged over time to create ongoing renewal opportunities.

TUDOR CHAMBERS HERITAGE RENOVATION

PORTFOLIO 2012

03 TUDOR CHAMBERS Tudor Chambers was originally a speculative development intended for street-level retail and luxury offices in typical high-street or city-centre square fashion. Unfortunately the building had deteriorated to such an extent that it flooded repeatedly, causing significant damage. In 2008, City Property undertook a massive repair, maintenance and restoration project to ensure that this once magnificent landmark would be returned to its former glory. The primary objective was to retain the architecture of this stately building on the corner of Church Square and Elias Motswaledi. Further to this, the outbuildings of Tudor Chambers were restored during the second phase of the project. Heritage Nineteenth Century coach magnate and businessman George Heys purchased the site in 1893 and set in motion the construction of Tudor Chambers, designed by British architect John Ellis, in 1903 with material imported from Scotland by Heysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Maritime Transport Company. The solid, beautifully built structure was intended to include Heysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own offices and is a fine lesson in building methods and technologies, even today.

04 KEMPTON PLACE Kempton Place is a large-scale project consisting of 4690residential dwelling units and 9000 m2 of retail space. During 2010 this alteration and conversion project saw the iconic Kempton City Mall converted into Kempton Place. Because of the significance of the original structures, it was essential to keep portions of the existing buildings. With this in mind, Kempton Place was transformed into a sustainable community – one that acts as a micro-neighbourhood within the framework of the larger town itself. The aim was to create a liveable, usable space that would enhance and compliment the individuals’ lifestyle or workplace needs. The new buildings include many design features that enhance the tenant’s lifestyles and create a liveable community. For example, courtyards and garden sky-courts have been included in the design. There are also planted, internal court-yard spaces that can be used by the residents for informal meet and greets, organised sports, and social events. In addition to apartments surrounding internal community spaces, the newly renovated Kempton Place features street-front shops at ground level, which are accessible to both the residents of Kempton Place as well as other citizens of the town at large.

Sculpture The streetscape has also been enhanced by various sculptures by renowned sculptor, Francois Visser. His sculptures protect political, social and physical impacts that life has on our society from being revealed. His chosen medium exhibits the fragility of human emotions (ceramics), as well as the strength of the human body (concrete and bronze), thus protecting these emotions. His sculptures are not meant to bind the viewer to a specific statement or concept, but rather to start a conversation with the viewer about life.

THE PAVILION

RETAIL REFURBISHMENT

PORTFOLIO 2012

05 THE PAVILION The Pavilion Shopping Centre, situated diagonally opposite the Sunnypark Shopping Centre in Pretoria had started to look rather dilapidated and unkempt, and for this reason it was decided that a complete refurbishment would be needed to achieve a vastly improved design, conducive to a more pleasant shopping environment. The design inspiration came from analysing the best aspects of the original design and using this as the starting point for everything that followed. In terms of the building style, a contemporary high-tech feel was envisioned. This was achieved by making use of contrasting rough and smooth building materials. The vision was to make use of stainless steel, silver aluminium and metallic tiles on vertical surfaces contrasted with textured cobble stones and flagstone pavers on the horizontal surfaces. The Pavilion Shopping Centre underwent a complete refurbishment. Simultaneously to the general refurbishment, two dark hidden staircases were repositioned to form one prominent spiral staircase.

KILLARNEY MALL EXTERIOR & INTERIOR UPGRADE

PORTFOLIO 2012

06 KILLARNEY MALL During 2010/ 2011, City Property embarked on a property refurbishment project, in which the Killarney Shopping Mall, situated in the heart of Johannesburg’s northern suburbs, received a significant ‘makeover’ both inside and out. The concept was to create a fresh and contemporary shopping mall that would meet the visual and physical requirements to house new high-end retailers, restaurants and the prized new Killarney CineCentre. When it came to the Office Towers at Killarney, the idea was to create modern and stylish office spaces, which would attract and satisfy tenants.

PROJECT SUMMARY - KILLARNEY MALL Project Type: Exterior and Interior Upgrade Project Managers: Albert De Bruin Dates: May 2010 – October 2011 Project 13 Months

While new spaces were created to house a host of new tenants and old spaces were upgraded and modernised, so as to complement the new additions. The original building had started looking worn, and required a renovation, without the addition of major architectural elements. The top level of the eastern parking deck required a new roof. Exterior building signage also had to be refurbished and refitted.

WITS TECHNIKON HERITAGE BUILDING: TENANT INSTALLATION

PORTFOLIO 2012

07 WITS TECHNIKON The building consists of two distinctive blocks, each built in different architectural styles. The restoration project included the older East Block of the campus, which fronts onto Eloff, Plein and De Villiers Streets, Johannesburg. The buildings originally housed the Witswatersrand Technical Institute, established in 1903 to support the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flourishing gold mining industry. The institute underwent a number of changes over the years and eventually transformed into the Technikon Witwatersrand in 1979. In 2006, the property was sold by the University of Johannesburg, which had by then absorbed Wits Tech, when it relocated to its main Auckland Park campus. A number of options were explored for the re-development of the internal space. Due to the layout and historical nature of the building, an educational institute suited the building best. Architecturally, it was originally designed in the classic Greek revival style, an aesthetic that was popular in Johannesburg at the time. Although the grand architectural style needed to be restored, a key outcome for the project team was an updated space suitable for a contemporary user. Modern features were worked into the project. Original fittings, like the marble floors, have been carefully restored and repaired; the original viewing panes in the doors were replaced with safety glass; and the stained glass windows were repaired.

CUTHBERTS CHAMBERS TENANT INSTALLATION & HERITAGE UPGRADE

PORTFOLIO 2012

08 CUTHBERTS CHAMBERS The Cuthchurch building comprises four adjacent Heritage buildings, each of which are distinctive in style and appearance. The project was undertaken in two phases, the first phase comprising the internal upgrade to the common areas of the ‘Cuthberts Chambers’ building. The second phase included a tenant installation for Damelin College on the upper levels of the remaining two buildings. The objective of the upgrade was to enhance the external appearance of the buildings by highlighting the different styles of the façades. Historical materials had to be preserved in order to retain the character of the buildings, whilst modern materials and items had to be identifiable as such. The exterior of the buildings on ground level consist mostly of glass shop fronts, with the remainder of the ground floor level façade being clad in pre-existing granite or plaster and paint. The projecting veranda that rests above the sidewalk is held up by historic precast columns.

ELEPHANT HOUSE HERITAGE BUILDING: COMMERCIAL UPGRADE

PORTFOLIO 2012

09 ELEPHANT HOUSE Built between 1919 and 1921 this building was originally designed by Allen Wilson, known for his use of Granite, keystone arches and Corinthian Columns. Two additional floors had been added to the three storey building in a pseudo Art-Deco style, not complementary to the initial classical architecture of the building. An internal staircase had been removed and vehicular access had been forced into the main building façade by cutting away an opening in the granite plinth along the Market Street façade. Some Relief stucco artwork was found hidden behind timber panelling in the main entrance foyer. Due to the beauty of the artwork, it was retained and restored to its original condition. The aim was to restore the original architectural beauty of the building and create office space within the building that would not only be functional to its occupants but also compliment the classical architecture of the building. Internally, the goal was to construct office spaces which are desirable in respect of size, functionality, safety, security and aesthetic appeal. As for the external structure, the deteriorating structural elements of the outer building were also reinstated.

10 WORKS@REGISTRY City Property’s “WORKS” programme is aimed at encouraging the growth of the SMME sector in the inner city. City Property has begun to roll out light industrial/retail workspace in newly renovated old office blocks. Bright, well lit and properly ventilated, these studio-style spaces are affordable, well managed and secure. “WORKS” means that a small operator can trade, manufacture and safely store any non-corrosive or harmful products in the CBD close to their market and close to the means of transport. WORKS@registry forms part of the City Property’s “WORKS” programme. Reconfigured to meet the needs of an industry whose base has historically been in the Kerk, Troye and Pritchard Street area, the WORKS@registry building caters for upper retail workshop units. Johannesburg has had to reinvent itself more than once in its not so long history and WORKS@registry is a bold approach to changing the face of the inner city.

In 2005, when Registry House was purchased, the building was illegally occupied and vandalised extensively. City Property regenerated the building by reinstating the ground floor into high street shopping which attracted tenants such as First National Bank. The first five upper levels were transformed into micro units which provide facilities for offices, light industry and mini sales areas.

When I get asked what’s the single most important thing that can be added to a city to help revitalise it (they are always waiting for the latest retail or entertainment thing), I always say ‘housing’.
