APARTMENTS
16 on Bree offers a range of units: studio apartments from R1.9m, one bedroom units from R2.4m, two bedroom units from R3.8m and three bedroom penthouses from R10m. The penthouse apartments with four bedrooms start at R13.9m.
Residents will have access to the swimming pool and recreation facilities on the 27th level and an outdoor gym. A day crèche is planned to provide for the growing number of working parents moving to the city.
In keeping with the heritage grading of the HHO and Felderman buildings on the site, the development has been designed to include historical elements in the facade. Meanwhile, the street level design will reflect the urban landscape seen elsewhere on Bree Street and the double-volume colonnade along Prestwich Street will be for pedestrian access only. The heritage grading of the existing HHO and Felderman buildings on the site has dictated the design of the façade which has incorporated these heritage elements.
