Due to these two properties prime locations on Mahatma Ghandi Rd and the fact that they will both will be on the corner of the main exit from the future transportation node, for the entire Point Waterfront Precinct, they will offer an investor / developer, a fantastic opportunity to secure this prime development location into the future!!
Furthermore, as they are located on the Point, Durban''s'' main access and egress road, Namely Mahatma Ghandi road, these two prime corner sites, which can be consolidated into one development property, offer a valuable location right next to the Point, Durban, which will become even more valuable when the new shopping mall and high rise beachfront residential and hotel developments, within the Point Waterfront Precinct start to come out the ground!!

There are challenges here but the architects are willing to sit down with the investor / developer to work through the issues and the opportunities that this valuable site presents.
The architects, have used the ground floor as a possible restaurant space, with a cocktail bar on the first storey.
The parking for this commercial section, is on the lowest three floors with two floors of dedicated parking above this. The two floors of parking also act as a visual break between the historic fabric of the existing building and the massing of the apartment block.
