The Voortrekker Road Corridor Improvement District
Category Commercial Property News
The Parow area is a well established commercial and residential region within the greater Cape Town expanse. Any urban area within any city on the planet can become neglected and with that neglect comes the need for rejuvenation. This is the exact mandate of The Voortrekker Road Corridor Improvement District which was established in 2012 as a Special Ratings Area (SRA) to service and uplift the well established and highly commercial Voortrekker Road ideally located in Bellville and Parow, which has been a pathway from the central business of Cape Town to the Northern suburban regions neighbouring the highly talked of and beloved central business district of the mother city.
“As a non-profit company, the VRCID provides supplementary services to the local authority services and works closely alongside them in areas such as security, cleansing, social development and improving the public spaces. The VRCID operates with its own board of directors, led by COO Derek Bock, and various stakeholders across both the public and private sectors, working together with each other to develop, promote and manage the area”. - http://vrcid.co.za/about-us/
The Parow area is an extremely centrally located suburb and commercial node within the Northern suburbs hence many favourable companies have decided to make the locality their home. Some of these companies include Peninsula Beverage Company, The Sign Company - Western Cape and Top Carpets and Floors Parow. Tenants in the commercial property division are seen to win when deciding on Parow as it's generally a more affordable commercial area than the centre of Cape Town, where gentrification and other factors have made properties highly priced and sometimes unobtainable for certain types of commerce. This is why Parow and the Northern suburbs have become increasingly favourable over the years.
This is one of the many reasons why leading property brokerage OfficePlace finds much merit in this region for commercial reasons. The formidable company currently has 5 listed properties for the area and all of them have different attributes which are all ideal for office space and commercial use. Another aspect that makes the suburb favourable for commercial office space reasons is its closely located to key residential areas. This makes travel to and from work really easy for bother owners and employees alike. The company has a vested interest in the commercial epicenters of the country and have high hopes for Parow due to the The Voortrekker Road Corridor Improvement District.
Amongst the urban renewal initiatives of The Voortrekker Road Corridor Improvement District, the project is also working closely with other groups and organisations such as the MES, The Haven and the Tygerberg Street People's Association. All of the following programs are working with this pivotal special ratings area to help the poor and homeless of the location as well. In turn, this has a positive spin-off and helps in combating petty crime through rehabilitation and counseling instead of punishment and imprisonment. This is another reason why Parow and the Northern Suburbs are on the rise as highly favourable areas for commercial reasons.
Parow is an established location within the greater Cape Town region not just famous for being the birthplace of massive South African artists such as Jack Parow but also for being a great area in which to do business.
