to major roads and or highway infrastructure , a site large enough to accommodate the new facility and be in close proximity to the existing hospitals . This lead the team to the Newmarket development on the edge of the CBD and heading out to Meyerton , which is one of the development nodes of Alberton .
The Site The site itself is 52,334m 2 on the northern boundary of the Newmarket development ; accessed from the Ring Road East in Alberton and feeding into the new shopping mall precinct and developments happening on the old Newmarket Racecourse property . The site had further opportunities in as much as the developers of
the Newmarket precinct were also keen to invest in the new hospital and so the client developed into the Rejem Linton Netcare JV , which would then develop the new hospital as equity partners in the property .
There is further synergy with a Medimix Medical Centre that has overflow doctors ’ suites and ancillary functions that complement and connect back into the main hospital .
The site is easily accessible from the major road networks , has a good orientation and already had bulk services and the development rights in place . All of these factors made it a suitable location for a high-profile specialised hospital . Once the site was agreed upon , the first site visit by the full team was in March of 2015 .
