The new Portside building encapsulates the energy of a rapidly evolving world class city , with progressive architectural design features , inspired by a firm commitment to sustainable and responsible development , within a unique location and landscape .
ARCHITECTS ’ REPORT As a joint initiative between Old Mutual and FirstRand Bank , this R1.6bn project represents a substantial investment into the Western Cape and has already become a landmark in the Cape Town ’ s central business district . In terms of the co-development and ownership agreement concluded in early 2011 , the concept behind Portside was to create a tall commercial development , sectional titled to both of these major South African corporate institutions .
Jointly managed by Old Mutual Property and Eris Property Group , the development is strategically situated within the emerging financial district , in the northwest corner of the CBD . Comprising a full city block of 6,500m 2 , bordered by Buitengracht Street , Hans Strydom Avenue , Bree and Mechau Streets , the site is located on a key nodal and arterial intersection that had already been approved for a tall building .
This emerging precinct houses a cluster of newly established medium highrise buildings as well as several under development . In acknowledging its prime location at the apex of the precinct , Portside and the surrounding future developments
