De la RocheDescriptionThe project consists of a plot and plan development in Northern Paarl, bordering on Retief Street, of 229 living units. The developers are aiming to position the properties at the entry level of the market where there is a big shortage in Paarl. The layout of the development makes provision for a natural, tree-rich neighbourhood that is very true to Paarl. Summary
There have been no developments aimed at the entry level market in Paarl during the last 10 years. The recent developments in and around Paarl were aimed at the older, lifestyle market that is totally unaffordable to the entry level investor. In the more affordable market there are only apartments available. These apartments are in the market for approximately R600 000 for 40sqm. This development, in our opinion, will add to that market. This development offers good value to the investor who wants to profit from the lively rental market in Paarl. The trend of more and more people swopping their city property for property in the nearby countryside contributed to a serious housing shortage in Paarl that lead to property values showing abnormal growth. The big worry around the availability of electricity as well as all services have already been allayed by the local authorities. Developer The Developer, CAD Projects, consists of a small professional team based in Paarl. The owner has taken on an assortment of similar projects and completed it successfully. Time Schedule The planned time for completion is still approximately 36 months and it will run as follows: Item Planned date of completion Tenders for services July 2009 Services April 2010 Marketing September 2009 Transfers May 2011 Offer
Residential 229 single residential living units (own title) that take up 350 - 500m2 in surface area are being suggested. The differing plot sizes ensure that a humdrum, conventional town extension will be avoided and different categories of buyers can be accommodated in a single quality development. The plots are being suggested with different orientations, street front breadths, surface areas, views, locations, etc. to offer potential buyers an assortment of living options and price classes. A low living density of 14.9 units per ha is achieved with an 8m height restriction (the same as surrounding houses). Contemporary houses that reflect the architecture of the area were prepared for the development by Wilhelm Basson Architects. Six to eight types of houses will be presented to proposed buyers on a plot and plan basis that will give surrounding owners, the aesthetical committee and residents the assurance that a quality development will be established here. Business / Tourist Activities The central farm building with its existing gardens and vineyards that directly border it is being suggested as an exclusive restaurant with office uses (as part of extending tourism in Paarl). A surface area of 10 250m2 (1.25ha) with additional open spaces around the structure that serve as sighting lines, is being budgeted to ensure the integrity of focus inside the development. The central location in the suggested development complements the use economically by means of "feet" or buying power coming from the development directly to the facility. Aside from the fact that the open spaces around the farm building will be kept in order to strengthen the focus of the building, the orchards and established gardens also bring a quality open space central to the development.
