WITH demand for commercial property investments at a high, Pam Golding Commercial, a division of residential real-estate giant Pam Golding Properties, has entered the auctions market.

The World Congress – “Transforming Housing Environments” will take place on 27-30 September, in Pretoria and is co-hosted by the University Of Pretoria and the International Association of Housing Science.

KEEN interest is being shown in PropertyAuctions.co.za’s online auction of an office building in Randburg, which gets under way later this month.

IN a first for the commercial property industry in SA, eProp, the online commercial property market place, is launching an online commercial property auction next month.

Premium Properties Limited today announced a total distribution for the year ended 28 February 2005 of 50 cents per linked unit.

Paramount, the listed property fund, increased its total distribution for the year to end October to 51c from 49c in the previous year with a final distribution of 13.5c.

BEE 'nonsensical' for listed property

Pretoria-focused listed property fund, Premium Properties Limited achieved an interim distribution of 22,5 cents per linked unit for the six month period ended 31 August 2004, an increase of 39,8% over the corresponding period for 2003.

The low interest rate environment, a proactive letting approach and the containment of costs led to Octodec Investments, the listed property loan stock company, reporting sustained growth in the year to August.

Where other property companies have run away from the city, ApexHi has made a success of it.
