Residential property development
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION
In early 2015 High Street Capital acquired a 16 000m2 section of the Mountainview Ridge at the top of Sylvia’s Pass in Johannesburg.
PROGRESS SINCE HIGHSTREET CAPITAL INVOLVEMENT
The intention was to develop 7 luxury residential properties in a secure upmarket estate, (click here for details). The processes of rezoning and subdivision took longer than anticipated and resulted in a reduction in the number of units that could be built. This lowered the projected returns such that they no longer met the High Street Capital benchmark. As a result, the property was sold off in 2 tranches in late 2015 and early 2016 at a nominal profit.
