A first for a South African city improvement district (CID), the CCID’s property portal aims to enable buyers to search specifically for commercial, retail, residential or light industrial property for sale, for rent or on auction.
CCID chairperson Rob Kane explains: “When the CCID’s website was redesigned last year with a ‘Central City first’ theme, it provided the perfect opportunity for ours to become the first downtown in South Africa to offer this free service to both brokers and property seekers.
“The CCID constantly looks to innovate, and providing this one-stop portal for all types of properties in the CBD is another way in which we can offer a tangible service that our stakeholders will be able to use on a regular basis.”
All listings will be free of charge, says CCID CEO Tasso Evangelinos. “This is a value-add service that the CCID is bringing to its property partners and, in turn, all those who have an interest in finding property in our area. The only prerequisite to the free listing is that the property absolutely must fall within the CCID’s footprint.
“As with other property websites, visitors will be able to search either within a category or price range, or – in terms of residential property – by number of bedrooms and bathrooms.”
