Housing development near Newlands, Cape Town sparks commercial interest

Housing is vitally important for the development of an area, if a municipality or government can provide, cheap affordable housing areas can grow and flourish in other ways. According to News24.co.za, there is a new housing project taking place at an old abandoned hospital which Western Cape Premier Helen Zille is calling a solution to the housing crisis South Africa is facing. The Conradie Hospital has long been abandoned and has become a clear eyesore for residents living in the area. However now due to various stakeholders and a hefty R3 billion investment the location is set for some much-needed rejuvenation and resuscitation.

"Western Cape Premier Helen Zille said the "pioneering" housing project expected at the site of the derelict old Conradie Hospital in Cape Town could "make or break" the current housing system. R3bn mixed-income residential project, set for the vast grounds of the old hospital could provide the solution for the country's "failed" free housing system, Zille said on Wednesday" -news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/zille-old-conradie-hospital-project-could-be-make-or-break-for-housing-system-20190117

The project has been titled the "Conradie Better Living Game Changer" with a budget of R3bn they hope to create roughly 3 602 places of residence with construction set to commence by the end of 2019. According to the same news report 1 764 of these residential units are going to be subsidized for lower income users and the rest will be open to the public.

The project is also apart of a bigger renewal programme which will see further enrichment to the area in terms of infrastructure. This includes public parks, schools, opportunities for office space and commercial investment and other entertainment locations.

"Applicants for the subsidised houses will have to have a job and an income and if successful, will receive a subsidy based on what they earn. They will also be expected to tap into other grants available to them. Speaking after the sod-turning, Zille said the subsidised units were meant to cater for people who earn a salary, but not enough to buy a house". -news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/zille-old-conradie-hospital-project-could-be-make-or-break-for-housing-system
