In the residential space, the development of 40 apartments at Sesigo
Mews near Grand Palm has commenced with over 90% of the units
already sold or secured. services pro bono and/or at cost. It would be great to see them receive
more support – maybe even from our readers, so more of their very
worthwhile and much needed facilities can be developed.

with great success in a challenging economy. The long awaited
Kabwata Mall will be complete in March 2020 with Shoprite the
anchor tenant and almost all the other space already accounted for. We are also embarking on a further development of a basketball court

Time team is just like a family where every cog in the wheel supports the
other to drive a well-oiled machine. And of course, we are supported by
clients, financiers and investors, all of whom we aim to satisfy beyond
their expectations, to keep our business world class.

By Brett Marlin
We are proud to say that once again we have completed another
quality project successfully, on time and within budget. These successfully
completed projects don’t happen by mistake. It takes a dedicated team
of consultants and contractors who work together to make sure that, hey
presto, it all comes together. A really big thank you to our dedicated team consisting of:

These projects don’t happen overnight, reaching agreement with the
tenant, securing the land, planning the development and constructing the
premises take a lot of time. We first met Bruce and Tony on 22 February
2018 so that means we took just under two years to get them to move
into the new premises. People may say that two years seems like a long
time but really this was done quite quickly considering that we had never
met until our February meeting. Sid Gunston &
