Completion scheduled in nine months
Ray Smuts
JUST UNDER nine months to go and Mike Economou is expectant as he eagerly awaits delivery of Mediterranean Shipping Company's very own spanking new building on Cape Town's foreshore.
It's going to be really something and I am very chuffed, MSC's regional director for the Cape, told FTW as he produced a batch of sketches
depicting upmarket features which will include a showpiece boardroom.
Being built at a cost of some
R38 million on land acquired four years ago, the new MSC House will be
a far cry from the company's present Portnet-leased
premises which admittedly are among the best available within the harbour.
The A-grade structure with its superior interior and
exterior finishes and a distinctive brass ship's
propeller at ground level, will have three undercover parking levels and seven floors available for letting, while MSC will occupy the top two floors measuring roughly 1 500sqm.
A stone's throw from the harbour, the building
overlooks the gardens of the Nico Malan Opera House, is close to Customs and the Chamber of Commerce and from a staff perspective, a short walk to the railway station and taxi ranks.
