Rosebank revamp soon complete

 The R600m redevelopment of the multi-use Firs and Hyatt complex in Rosebank will soon be complete and Standard Bank has signed up as an anchor tenant.

"We identified Rosebank as an area poised to revitalise and acquired the Firs and Hyatt complex, central to the node, some four years ago," says Sam Leon of Investec Property.

The Firs redevelopment is bringing 4,100sqm of specialty retail and restaurant space on stream, along with 8,200sqm of premier offices. All this is in addition to the luxury of 244 rooms and 15 suites and exceptional service of The Hyatt Regency Johannesburg.

The AAA-grade offices at The Firs are already 60% let.

A key attraction of the redevelopment is the new restaurant piazza at the heart of The Firs, explains Ollie Flynn of Investec Property.

Rosebank dining institutions The Grill House and Katzy's provide the gateway for the new piazza where they will be joined by the likes of Doppio Zero.

"The Firs and Hyatt complex redevelopment and particularly the restaurant piazza will provide synergies with Rosebank's new identity as a mixed-use transport node with a keen focus on pedestrian and street-level interaction, providing a meeting point for this modern village," explains Flynn.
