The Curragh apartment blocks attracting attention

Greeff, who has bought a commercial property in Kenilworth from which the Greeff Properties Head Office now operates, has recently launched a new residential development in the heart of Kenilworth's business hub. Named The Curragh, the block will be home to 14 contemporary apartments with luxurious finishes and 24-hour security. "Six of the 14 units sold within a couple of weeks of the soft launch, and interest in the remaining units is high, with enquiries streaming in," says Greeff. "The building activity in Kenilworth Main Road is clear for all to see and the show of confidence in the location is a draw-card for investors. A new commercial precinct, currently under construction, (just a block from The Curragh), which is going to be home to a Pick 'n Pay, as well as offices, restaurants and shops will add tremendous value to the area, which is centrally located with easy access to public transport, leading schools, sporting and gym facilities, private hospitals and the buzz of Claremont central," says Greeff.

Apartment blocks like The Curragh in demand

"The Curragh is designed to meet a growing demand for contemporary, security accommodation with secure parking. These apartments are likely to appeal to the young professional working in the Southern suburbs or in the city as transport is literally on your doorstep, it could also be an investment for rental to single young professionals, living alone or sharing, or students whose parents wish to ensure a secure, convenient and desirable location for their children," suggests Greeff. Glenda Taylor, Principal of Greeff Rentals is of the opinion that around R14 000 is an achievable rental for the units in the Curragh. The Curragh's design incorporates two bedrooms, with either two bathrooms or one bathroom and an open-plan kitchen/dining/livingarea. All units have balconies. Quality finishes will impart a luxurious feel. "The one remaining 124m2 penthouse will offer exceptional views," says Greeff.

The Curragh units are priced from R2 270 000, inclusive of VAT. No Transfer Duty. Two parking bays per unit are included in the price.
