The new leases, says Paul Scop, Redefine’s Cape leasing manager, have resulted in over 75 % of the building being occupied.  A further 600m² awaits takers. 

Those who have thus far moved in, said Scop, have had a strong bias towards the IT sector, three of the five focussing on one or another aspect of this. 

The new tenants are:-

• PBT, a South African information and technology services provider, which provides specialist services and business solutions in the business intelligence, system integration and application development fields.
• Iliso Consulting, a black owned multi-disciplinary consulting engineering and project management firm partnered by Batemans.
• VisionOss, an IT organisation that assists companies to meet their IT needs in a number of fields including UC (Unified Communication) and IPT (IP Telephony) requirements.  VisionOss has associate companies in Europe, the UK, the USA and the Middle East.
• Discovery Financial Services, a member of the Discovery Group.

Scop said that Knowledge Park III provides the four essential ingredients of a successful decentralised Cape office.  It is, he said,

• strategically sited in relation to public transport and the freeway network;
• attractive aesthetically and exceptionally comfortable and pleasant to work in, with ample open plan space;
• able to offer secure in-building parking, and all round A1 level of security supplementing that already provided by Century City for the precinct as a whole;
• close to one of SA’s major retail complexes, Canal Walk, which offers enjoyable lunch break and after hours entertainment and shopping facilities.
