Urban renewal across South Africa is a fundamental move towards
addressing past mistakes, replacing the dilapidated and forgotten
with something fresh and inspiring thereby re-energising the
city’s heart. An excellent representation of an inspirational
rejuvenation is the One on Mutual rental apartment block situated
within the Pretoria Central Business District.
C
ompleted by GASS Architecture Studios and
developed by City Property Administration as part
of its urban renewal project, the building forms part
of the organisation’s vision to bring new life into the
cities. This is upmarket, sophisticated property which
is customer-centric, boosting social cohesion and
attracting people to share a living and working space.
According to City Property Administration, the
provision of upmarket accommodation within the city
is vital and it is committed to restoring South Africa’s capital to a
vibrant epicentre of culture, arts, government and business.
