There was no doubt, once the Gautrain station was built, that Rosebank would certainly become more popular.  It is amazing to see how many apartment blocks are going up in the area, and Rosebank is going to look dramatically different in 10 years’ time from now.  I suppose that is true of most areas – Randburg looks dramatically different than it did 10 years ago – but not in a positive way.  I was surprised though to see some of the prices of the units that are on sale in Rosebank with a development called The Tyrwhitt having units ranging from R1,9 million to R17 million and another development called The Vantage with units initially sold at      R30 000,00 per square metre and now selling at R35 000,00 per square metre.  Another development called Park Central which will be on the corner of Baker Street in Rosebank is going to have a penthouse for R16 million and the most basic units are going to be R1,75 million.  They claim that R7 billion has been spent on the development of new office buildings and the refurbishment of the mall in Rosebank and another 100,000 square metres of office space is expected to become available in the next 5 years.  Most of the high-end residential units are being sold off plan now, and are expected to be finished in 2017.  That is a lot of development for a small area and it is no wonder that many attorneys choose this central location, between town and Sandton, for their offices and no doubt we will see more attorneys moving into the area.
