Maseko asked Simmers whether the provincial government has more projects that follow the Conradie Park Model.
Simmers said there are currently two projects in the pipeline in the Western Cape Province that follow the Conradie Park Model: namely the Founders Garden Artscape Precinct on the Foreshore; and Leeuloop Precincts located in the CBD bordered by Dorp, Bree, Leeuwen, and Loop Streets.
“The Founders Garden Artscape Precinct: is anticipated to provide approximately 1 185 housing opportunities, dependent on achievable densities.
