Lesley Rensburg, Dogon Group Properties sales agent, explains that there has been massive demand for the apartments at Station House and that only 61 are still available to purchase.

“From the outset the developers of Station House - Berman Brothers, in partnership with D2E Properties - set out to make the apartments as affordable as possible to assist people to get their foot into the property market. This attractive pricing, coupled with the developments’ unique design concept and location, has fueled demand from value seeking buyers who are in pursuit of lifestyle living.”

Available apartments at Station House (which is marketed by Dogon Group Properties) range from studio’s starting at R1,875 million, one-bedroom units from R2,595 million, and two-bedroom units from R5,295 million. There is only one three-bedroom apartment left, which is on the market for R8,850 million.

The 44-room boutique hotel at Station House, situated on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors of the building, offers investors an alternative property asset option within the Atlantic Seaboard, and there has been healthy demand for these units - with only 16 still available to purchase. Prices start at R2,765 million and include a basement parking, a furniture package and a storage unit.

“Hotel investors will receive an 8% estimated annual return, with a guarantee of up to 4% of the estimated return on the purchase price (ex-VAT and price of the furniture package) for three years (return uncapped subject to hotel performance)” explains Robin Magid, Founder and Director of D2E Properties. “Investors get to enjoy 14 free off-peak nights per year at the Station House boutique hotel, as well as access to an array of diverse amenities within the building, and an additional seven nights at one of the other hotel destinations within the chain.”

According to Magid, there is a minimum hotel investment period of five years (inclusive of a 180-day notice period) and the hotel operator will pay the investor any VAT refund that is received when the unit is placed into the rental pool.

“The beautiful and modern Station House development has a distinctly international feel that is in tune with global trends and brings a new lifestyle concept to Sea Point,” says Alexa Horne, MD of Dogon Group Properties. “This exciting building redefines the design of mixed-use developments in South Africa.  It offers a wonderful opportunity for those who wish to buy-to-live or those looking for a premier investment opportunity.”
