The new Firs attracts top tenants

The redevelopment of the Firs and Hyatt complex is timed to coincide with the renewed bustle of development activity in Rosebank, and the opening of its new Gautrain station. The R600-million swanky new-look multi-use Firs and Hyatt complex in Rosebank is a prime example of Investec Property successfully maximising a property asset. "We identified Rosebank as an area poised to revitalise and acquired the Firs and Hyatt complex, central to the node, some four years ago," explains Sam Leon of Investec Property. "The quality and uniqueness of the development is underscored by the strong leasing response, notwithstanding the current economic climate. We certainly believe that, resulting from this project, it will become a key landmark in area."
