New project |

A NEW security complex consisting of 70 luxury units is planned 8 km outside Paarl on the R301 to Franschhoek. The development around a dam of 3 hectares will adjoin the southern boundary of the new Pearl Valley golfing development. The proposed development will be located on 27ha of land with waterfronts on the dam. It will provide small erven of 500 to 600 square metres with luxury houses and secluded private open spaces supported by larger common park areas.
The houses will range from 140 to 200 square metres. Twenty four hour security will be provided to create a secure living environment.
The dam will serve not only as open space and an attraction to water birds, but also for recreational purposes such as canoeing. The section of the property abutting onto the R301 will serve as a buffer for the residential component by providing tourist related facilities which may include a guest house which could also serve as club for residents.
An environmental assessment, design and costing of the project are in progress. It is envisaged that the rezoning applications be submitted to Drakenstein Municipality by the end of the month.

Boschenmeer stel erwe vry |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DIE Boschenmeer Gholflandgoed het pas 'n nuwe fase vrygestel wat bestaan uit 'n node van 38 prima erwe wat vanaf R360 000 beskikbaar is.
Die enkel residensiële erwe wissel in grootte tussen 800 en 1300 vk/m, die grootste erwe in die ontwikkeling.
Die nuwe fase is op die noordelike grens van die landgoed geleë met pragtige natuurskoon en groot eikebome.
Veertien erwe front aan die gholfbaan en is die laaste erwe wat direk langs die landgoed se grootste meer met sy twee eilande en voëlreservate geleë is. Die ander 24 erwe het 'n noord-aansig en is verder van die gholfbaan geleë wat privaatheid, en asemrowende uitsigte oor die Simonsberg en Franschhoekberge bied.
Kopers kan hul eie huise ontwerp en bou binne die neergelegde argitektoniese riglyne van die ontwikkeling. Boschenmeer se argitektuur is gebaseer op die area se geskiedkundige Kaaps-Hollandse- en Victoriaanse boustyle.
Daar is ook 'n Toskaanse invloed wat geïnspireer is deur die boustyl wat nagelaat is deur die Eerste Wêreldoorlog se Italiaanse krygsgevangenes wat die Du Toitskloofpas gebou het, en hulself daarna in die Vallei gevestig het.
Die kombinasie van elemente afkomstig van die drie boustyle, het æn verfrissende en tydlose argitektoniese boustyl geskep wat die kultuurhistoriese geskiedenis van die vallei weerspieël. Johan Pauw, die ontwikkelaar van die Boschenmeer Gholflandgoed, sê dat eiendomme vinnig besig is om uit te verkoop en dat 180 van die 200 gedienste erwe reeds verkoop is.
"Met die nuwe vrystelling bied ons nou van Boschenmeer se laaste enkel residensiële erwe, voordat ons Meerendal volgende jaar vrystel wat uit 20 meenthuise met 'n intieme dorpsatmosfeer sal bestaan."
Boschenmeer se nuwe nege putjies wat deur Danie Obermeyer Golf Course Design en Golfscape in samewerking met David Frost ontwerp en gebou is, is voltooi en daar is reeds begin met die opgradering van die bestaande 18 putjies. By voltooing van die opgraderings sal hierdie 27-putjie gholfbaan met sy asemrowende natuurskoon een van die beste potjies gholf in die provinsie aanbied. Boschenmeer is 'n eko-sensitiewe projek en die ontwikkelaars wend 'n daadwerklike poging aan om die natuurlike omgewing te bewaar, en terselfdertyd 'n ideale omgewing te skep vir menslike huisvesting en ontspanning.
Boschenmeer sal ook spog met 'n nuwe klubhuis met 'n luukse restaurant en dameskroeg. 'n Hotel gaan deel word van die ontwikkeling en ander fasiliteite sluit 'n swembad en tennisbane in.
'n Gholfakademie gaan ingestel word waar kinders van alle ouderdomme kan leer gholf speel. Ander gholfspelers kan ook die tegnologie goed aanwend om hul spel te verbeter.
Vir verdere inligting kontak Reon van der Merwe (082-896-2747) of Niel van der Westhuizen (082-482-4749) of besoek die webtuisblad by www.boschenmeer.co.za. Die skouhuis is sewe dae per week oop. |

Mall proposed for Paarl street |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A LARGE scale plan to develop part of Lady Grey Street as an enclosed predestrian shopping mall, has been proposed to the Drakenstein Town Council. The scheme is based on the premise that Paarl's Central business district is currently underutilised but viable, and needs to be repackaged as a modern shopping mall.
According to planning consultant Jan Hanekom, property owners in Lady Grey Street are enthusiastic about the proposal, based on the closure of Lady Grey Street and construction of a double storey parking garage covering the street between Main Street and Verster Street.
This will allow the redevelopment of ground level shop fronts in Lady Grey Street. An additional 5000 square metres of lettable space would be created.
Ramps leading to the overhead parking area could be situated in Fabriek and Derksen Street, while atriums and openings between the overhead parking and shopfronts would admit daylight.
"We need to give consumers a total shopping experience, so that we can bring them back to Paarl. Consumers want to shop where there is climate control, access control and ample parking," says Hanekom.
"The lower section of Lady Grey Street, although not covered, should also be closed to traffic and redeveloped as a St George's Street type open walkway, with stands for informal traders. This could lead to a general upgrading of the area and its architecture, revitalising the Paarl CBD. And if one includes the Wamakersplein Centre (Pick 'n Pay) it becomes a sizeable mall of 30 000 square metres."
"We have a large number of property owners and consultants on board, but need an undertaking from the Municipal Council that they would allow such a development."
According to the municipal manager, Jacques Carstens, the Council is positive about the project.
"However, closure of Lady Grey Street cannot be considered before a study has been done on the impact of the proposal on traffic, informal trade, parking and taxis. A business and development plan should also be submitted and the issue of public competition for the development must be addressed." |
