Aengus Lifestyle Properties continues to revolutionise urban living with the launch of its third residential building in Johannesburg’s inner city, Tribeca Lofts. The building - which had been abandoned for almost a decade - houses 140 studio loft apartments in the heart of the city.

Situated on the corner of Jeppe and Eloff Streets, the Tribeca Lofts introduce an upmarket, New York City style living experience to a node of the CBD that bustles with people and trade from the early morning to the late afternoon. An open air mall provides every facility and shopping opportunity imaginable, all within a 50m walking distance.

The Lofts form part of a Central Improvement District (CID), which has transformed the security and cleanliness of a 25 block area of the city. The CID provides a fully equipped and uniformed security force, and additional cleaning services, ensuring a clean environment.

Aengus Lifestyle Properties managing director Richard Rubin says Tribeca Lofts will add value to the area by inducing the introduction of more up-market developments and encouraging retail investment. “A number of buildings have been successfully converted to apartments in that area, which also assists in the area’s resurgence,” Rubin says.

He says the building itself will maintain the standards Aengus is well-known for, with modern and stylish fittings. “From the door handles to the light fittings, granite kitchens and convenient pre-paid electricity systems, Tribeca Lofts offer a luxurious yet affordable living experience.”

As in all of Aengus’ buildings, security is of utmost importance. Tribeca Lofts will be fitted with bio-metric finger print access control systems and will provide 4 highly trained in-house security staff on 24 hour shifts. Parking is also available in the building, with lift access to the buildings foyer.

These loft apartments vary in size from 28m² to 46m² - perfectly suited to a bachelor or young couple who want to enjoy the convenience and international lifestyle that city living offers. “Gone are the days of long taxi commutes to and from work. Rather wake up a couple of minutes before work, and walk to the office,” adds Rubin’s partner Gavin Meskin.

 It certainly makes sense to us.

Aengus' first project in Johannesburg, the Braamfontein Lofts, was fully let within 24 hours. The Lofts @ 66 flagship project in the heart of Johannesburg is also fully let.  Aengus is also nearing completion on the Fashion Lofts, a 230 unit development in Pritchard Street, Johannesburg. Work on Berea Lofts, the company’s first project in Durban, is about to commence
