Rawson Developers is one of a handful of Cape companies to break out of the “freeze syndrome” which has resulted in dozens of projects being put on hold.

Rawson Developers has announced that it is going ahead with the development of 70 apartments in Klip Road, Grassy Park.

“The 6 315m² site is convenient because it is next to a public park and within walking distance of a retail complex, schools and taxi ranks. In addition, the Ottery Hypermarket is less than 10 minutes’ drive away,” says Trevor Weston-Green, Rawson Developers’ planner and strategist.

The project will have its own children’s playground.

Cape architect, Gordon Hart, has designed the 51m² two bedroom units in two and three storey walk-up blocks. Buyers will be able to choose many of their finishes if they sign on soon, says Weston-Green. The kitchens will have ovens, hobs, sinks and granite tops. Floors will be tiled or carpeted.

“Prices start at R469 990, which includes VAT, transfer and bond costs. Buyers will be encouraged to apply through Rawson Finance for bonds,” says Paul Henry, MD of Rawson Developers.

“The big attraction of the scheme apart from the price is its security,” says Henry. “The project will be encircled by an electrified fence, and guards will be on duty round the clock.”

Henry and Weston-Green say Rawson’s own in-house construction team will be building the block.
