[Originally published in June 2015]. By the end of the first quarter of 2016 work on the landmark Stuttafords Building on the corner of Rissik and Pritchard Streets in central Johannesburg should be complete. The building is being transformed from abandoned retail space into upmarket residential units (approximately 120). We are ecstatic that this project is underway after a series of false dawns in the last few years.
On Thursday we were lucky enough to be taken on a tour of the building by Renney Plit, Director: Operations at Afhco. Below are a few notes and photographs from our visit.
We arrived on site just after ten on a very crisp winter morning. It was fantastic to see scaffolding erected for the restoration of the façade and workers buzzing around the site.
