Cape Town - The new Pam Golding on Main multi-use retail and office development opened its doors on Main Road, Kenilworth, recently.
PGP acquired the property – now Pam Golding on Main - on the corner of Summerley Road and Main Road in the early 1990s.
“This is a historic moment, as Pam Golding Properties rented office space over the road shortly after Pam first launched the business way back in 1976,” said Peter Golding, project manager of the upmarket redevelopment on behalf of the Pam Golding Property group.
"From the 1950s to the 70s Kenilworth was very much a village and this culture remains."
According to Peter Golding the new development is revitalising this busy, strategically positioned node.
The ground floor retail space is fully tenanted while the office accommodation is almost fully let. The AAA-grade building comprises a gross lettable area of 4 100m² in total plus 185 parking bays.
It incorporates a number of green building features, with a focus on energy and water efficiency in order to reduce operating costs and improve the environment for tenants, shoppers and visitors.
Pam Golding Properties (PGP) is the anchor tenant with their Western Cape regional office – incorporating their flagship southern suburbs office - occupying the entire first floor and a portion of the ground floor, while the group’s IT department is situated in a portion of the third floor.
Pick n Pay has taken up 510m² on the ground floor of the new building for their new small-store offering – which includes Knead Bakery & Cafe.
Other retail tenants include the Bootlegger Coffee Company on the ground floor. Also on the ground floor, Sorbet Beauty and Nail Salon is the lifestyle tenant.
Occupying office space on the second and third levels, other tenants include Realfin – Realtime Financial Solutions, Hitch Digital, a media innovations agency specialising in digital media strategy and campaign management and Zestcor Eleven, a petrochemical sales, marketing, procurement and supply chain management company.
In addition, Busii Business Intelligence Integrators, IT practitioners with experience in business intelligence and data warehouse applications, occupy premises in the office component of Pam Golding on Main.
