New Fairlands Landmark Takes Shape

The massive new Fairland office complex – a new landmark at the intersection of Gauteng's Beyers Naude Drive and the N1 Western Bypass – is taking shape, and construction is on track for completion in early March 2008.

"The concrete structure and structural steel roofs are complete," notes Grinaker-LTA Building managing director Neil Cloete. The firm is undertaking the R715m construction contract for this 120 000sq m development in a joint venture with Wilson Bayly Holmes Ovcon. "The brickwork is nearing completion, and the windows and glazed screens are being installed. Construction of the unusually shaped fire stair pods - which are designed to display signage – is in progress."

Inside the buildings the contractors are currently installing access flooring and ceilings. The finishing trades, such as tiling, have just started, Cloete adds.

"The roadworks for the paved parking areas and access roads has also started and we are trying to make as much progress as possible before the next rainy season," he concludes.

This office complex is being developed by RMB Properties for tenants FNB Homeloans and Wesbank.
