An abandoned, hijacked CBD building turned into a fully let student housing success story👏💪
Remington House, situated on Nugget Street in Johannesburg, has been transformed into a green-certified mixed-use building with affordable rental units and is fully let.
The office block was previously abandoned and later hijacked. Today, she’s a student accommodation success story.
Details of the building:
• Building area: 7 191m2
• 133 bachelor apartments
• 5 ground-floor retail shops
• 14 parking bays
• Amenities: study centre and gym
• EDGE results: Energy 27.81%; Water 22.40%; Materials (embodied carbon) 51.00%
• Resource systems: Centralised heat pumps; solar installation; borehole and filtration; LED lighting; low-flow fixtures; dual-flush toilets; optimised façade glazing
So many buildings have been hijacked in this street; one can only hope that more can be saved.
This conversion was made possible by TUHF, for which I give huge kudos. We would love to see more of this.
