The fast growing R250 million, 179-unit “The Beaumont” apartment complex, developed on the southern side of the Claremont CBD in Cape Town (just one block away from Cavendish Square), will be the most luxuriously fitted out multi-unit development that Rawson Developers have ever handled.

This is according to Rawson Developers project manager, Dale Nortje, who says underfloor heating as well as heated towel rails will be standard in the bathrooms and Rustenburg granite will be used for all the kitchen countertops. Cupboards throughout will be Duco sprayed and the sections of floor which are tiled (generally the communal sections) will have Thar Gris 600 mm2 porcelain tiles. Security will be enhanced by fingerprint recognition, cameras and by round the clock guards in the upmarket foyer.
“From the start we were a little concerned that the plaster treatment of the façade might not live up to the high standard of the exterior finishes. However, we will now achieve complete consistency and overcome the problem because we have specified a 1.5 mm thick Marmoran Permaplast coating,” says Nortje. Work on this will start within the next six months and will probably take three months. Altogether 6 000 square metres will be treated this way.
Rawson Developers’ construction team are three weeks ahead of schedule at “The Beaumont”. The official completion is scheduled for early next year. However, the developers will try to begin handovers of certain units in mid-December.
The five-storey block in the complex topped out in November last year and the twelve-storey block, which is rising at one level every two weeks, and is currently on the eighth level, will top-out in June.
Altogether 154 of the 179 units have now been signed for and have had deposits paid up for them, Nortje expects the remaining 25 to be sold by the end of this year. Standard units vary in size from 32 square metres to 94 square metres, and most have balconies. The units have one or two bedrooms with the small bachelor units combining the living, bedroom and kitchen space into one open-plan unit.
On the top floor of the taller block will be five luxury penthouses, varying in size from 50 square metres to 249 square metres. These have sold for prices up to R4.4 million. The standard units are currently priced from R1 million to R2.6 million.
