It is part of the development's theme. 1st Barloworld development update video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5PSaYKli5aDfJIfeature=shared Sandton playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLuKKdXhv4SaPUCU-HnIupInbEr8dGTHFb&feature=shared

I initially applied to live there before they opened this year and once i saw the completed units i was just so shocked. Its low income housing at a high price. The units are not pretty, at all. It looks more like CBD living. I hope the newer units will be more aesthetically pleasing.

[@lebohangmokheseng9250]

Lol that place is Sandton, those apartments are the lowest you will get if you a new graduate working in Sandton. If you looking for aesthetically pleasing ones you cam find them in the Sandton CBD but they gonna cost an arm and leg😂😂

[@isaaccpt6643]

We need more of these large scale housing/mixed use developments in Cape Town 😅 hopefully that'll help to bring the property prices down this side of the world?

[@thatomoeng8525]

Rondebosch is much better than this, but you're right about the prices!!! Gauteng is much affordable

[@hydromic2518]

Harbour Arch is a recent one I can think of

[@supreme9801]

If you go to Parklands on the northern outskirts of Cape Town, there is a lot of large scale housing developments there.

This project is for young professionals who need affordable place to stay in the city without paying too much these places are beautiful if you are still building your career i visited most of their development in the JHB CBD those who have made it in life they know where to go to get the lifestyle they are looking for. This one is for us 😂

hall ways look like a prison

[@TerriTerriHotSauce]

Sandton is the ghetto now lol anyone can afford it. Guarantee this place will be noisy and childish like their last building The Onyx in Joburg CBD/Maboneng where they had to implement visitor curfews and treat adults like students. Move to maybe Waterfall, Fourways or Sandton Central if you want something serious. If you enjoy peace (being able to sleep at night) don't live in places where a 1 bed starts at less than R7k.

[@andredupreez5705]

I honestly expected much better units than those cramped things.

[@lebohangmokheseng9250]

those units are meant for new graduate students, if you looking for better(& EXPENSIVE) ones you can find them in Sandton CBD. The aim of the project is low cost housing. As a student after graduating and possibly working in Sandton these housing will really help a lot and cut down on travel costs

Looks a bit UnSofisticated, Poor Quality Finnishes for Sandton, Exposed Painted Bricks, exposed Plumbing etc...

[@lebohangmokheseng9250]

This is low cost and affordable housing for young professionals who are just starting their careers in their employment as explained in the video. Its meant for inclusion. It not meant to be sophisticated, if it was made sophicated it would be expensive and defeat its purpose. As for the pipings lets wait for the construction to finish first before judging it.

@relaxingsleepaudio2320, better than living in a shack...and yes, expensive finishes make for expensive rentals, don't they?

[@relaxingsleepaudio2320]

@@MusehanaH Well a Shack doesn't Cost R7500 a Month, my friend, so its Not better

[@centillion7]

I am not very impressed. In fact, this is AMAZING...........LY pathetic for 3 Billion-Rand. I was in Kenya 2 months ago and saw property developments there that would put this Barlow Park to shame. This is not what I will call 'Transformation', this is more like a renovation done by someone who thinks duct tape is a design feature.

there's literally nothing wrong with that ceiling, but guess we have different tastes😂🤣

[@isoboy1000]

It's low cost housing don't forget, it simply means they strip off everything that makes the building expensive, even walls outside are not plastered but backwashed; it reduce costs.
