Randburg on the commercial office space rise

South Africa is one of the most highly developed commercially developed countries on the entire African continent. This commercial development has led people to the sprawling metropolitan expanse of Johannesburg. Which in many ways is dozens of smaller cities that seem to go on, forever. One of these particular cities is Randburg, essentially an expanse of various well known and established suburbs the area is becoming well known for so many reasons and one of the them is its commercial development.

“Strategically well positioned to the north-west of Johannesburg, just 10 minutes from Sandton and easily accessible via main arterials such as the N1, Bram Fischer Drive, the M20, M9, M16, M5 and William Nicol Drive, Randburg is considered a priority area and important commercial node in the City of Johannesburg's five-year Integrated Development Plan and Johannesburg 2040 Strategy”. - www.eprop.co.za

With such a sheer volume of properties available in the area the company believes that now is right time to invest.

“As a result of such regeneration and improvement initiatives, Randburg presents an opportunity for both landlords and tenants, particularly companies that work closely with government departments such as the Magistrate's Court, Department of Home Affairs, City of Johannesburg Municipal Office and SARS. In addition to these government operations other major tenants in the area include the likes of Sasol, Multichoice and Innovation Group”. - www.eprop.co.za
