At a glance
- Land: 4,218 m² - six erven, with SG-approved consolidation into two
- Existing building: approximately 1,280 m² gross floor area (vacant)
The parcel
- Erf 676 - 986 m² (SG-approved consolidation of the Remaining Extent of Erf 394 and Erf 395), fronting Currey and Height Streets.
- Erf 677 - 3,232 m² (SG-approved consolidation of Erven 429, 430, 431 and 623), fronting Currey, Height and Nind Streets.
The six erven are held under a single ownership. The Surveyor-General has approved their consolidation into the two erven above; the diagrams are in place and ready to be registered, giving a buyer a clean two-erf configuration rather than assembling separate stands.
Development rights
- The land is zoned Business 2 (Height Zone C) under the City of Johannesburg Land Use Scheme, 2018. Business 2 permits residential buildings and dwelling units - which include student accommodation - as a primary right, so a student-accommodation scheme can proceed under the current zoning.
- Bulk parameters: FAR 4.0, coverage up to 100%, and height governed by the 59° height-line (with scope to exceed via an approved Site Development Plan). At FAR 4.0 this equates to a permissible bulk in the region of 16,900 m² (indicative).
Location
Directly opposite UJ Doornfontein, with Central Johannesburg College a short distance away, in an established inner-city location.
Improvements and plans
- The only improvement is a vacant three-storey building of approximately 1,280 m² gross floor area (across ground, mezzanine, first and second floors); the balance of the site is open.
Architectural plans for Erf 676 - a refurbishment of the existing building (12 units) and a new four-storey building (57 beds) - are included in the data room; Erf 677 is undeveloped.
Transaction
- Held within a single ownership. Subject to a tax opinion, the sale may qualify as a VAT going concern (zero-rated).
