The Joburg Property Company (JPC) has been driving urban regeneration and development with many projects in and around the inner city. One such project has been the Fairmount Soccer and Tennis Club located on portion 89 of the Farm Rietfontein 61 I.R. along Elray Street in Fairmount.
Says Fanis Sardianos, JPC Executive Manager: Client Business Operations, “The facility has been packaged as a multi-purpose sports facility and was placed on public tender on 19 May 2017 for all interested parties to participate should they wish to do so.”
The JPC has been trying to generate interest in the lease of the facility, having published advertisements in several major newspapers calling for interested parties to submit their tenders. It’s become a matter of urgency as tenders for this particular Fairmount project close on 23 June 2017.
This project received a substantial cash injection when the JPC spent more than R300 000 on the facility’s rehabilitation. The end aim is that interested parties will tender for the facility.
According to the JPC, a clean-up of the entire Fairmount Soccer and Tennis Club sports field ran over April and May. During this time the fencing along Elray Street was replaced.
“This will also ensure that [the] facility will be well maintained, secured for the community to access and utilise the facility for social and recreation purposes within the terms and conditions of the lease,” says Sardianos.
Tender documents are available at the JPC’s Offices, 1st Floor Forum 2 Building, Braam Park, 33 Hoofd Street Braamfontein.
