Turning Joburg into a construction site is a
practical way of realising Mandela’s dream.
The City is making available buildings for development by means of long-term lease agreements, with
an option to purchase once development is complete. Properties have been zoned for mixed use and
developers, entrepreneurs and visionaries are encouraged to show how they will convert these into smart
work spaces, offices, retail spaces, social housing and student accommodation.
Let the City make your business dreams come true through a mutually beneficial partnership. If you are
looking for a site to build your shisa nyama empire; dreaming of building your own call centre; looking for a
space to build our media production business; or want a property portfolio then the City can help you.
As the Executive Mayor explains: “It’s so easy. All you need to do is come with your bravery, with your ideas
and plans. Show us how you will convert disused buildings into high-quality offices, retail spaces, low-
cost housing and student accommodation. In return, the City offers you rates and tax breaks, staggered
discounted rental and other incentives. And we also guarantee to fast-track town planning issues.

Together, let us create a working Inner City that is cleaner and safer, and where residents and business
prosper and flourish.
