Wonderboom Airport set to be beneficial for Pretoria and Centurion
Category Commercial Property News
Infrastructure upgrades renew elements of an area. Airports play a pivotal role in driving traffic and investment towards a certain node, hence having an airport adjacent to a suburb or city is desirable. These upgrades can often leave a long-lasting impression whilst raising the profile of the said area. Resulting in endless spin-offs for certain locations experiencing these upgrades.
The Wonderboom National Airport situated in Tshwane (Pretoria) near Centurion is currently going through some much-needed rejuvenation which is set to create a lot of new traffic to the political capital of the country. This is according to an article recently published off local community newspaper the Pretoria North Record and other larger national publications including The Citizen and The Sunday Times. It's also interesting to note that this airport is the only metro owned Airport in South Africa.
"Tshwane mayor Solly Msimanga said on Tuesday that the move was intended to accommodate infrastructural developments to "make the airport more competitive so that it may contribute to the boosting of the city's economy". -Petru Saal (www.timeslive.co.za)
Other companies within other industries are also happy about these new upgrades and they feel that this can only be positive towards the development of the city at large. One such company is OfficePlace who already have a vested interest within the commercial sector of the region including the town of Centurion which is located on the border of Tshwane (Pretoria). The company is well-known for their massive assortment of offices available for rental and Centurion is no different. They currently have 248 listed properties in the Centurion area that all range in price and size to match anyone's budget. With upgrades to The Wonderboom International Airport taking place these listings are likely to increase over the coming months as demands for commercial investment in the area grow.
The airline runs a local flight from Cape Town to Pretoria but recently had to momentarily postpone this service due to the upgrades. The recently appointed airport manager Waheed Mohamed has stated that this service could be up and running within the next month or so and the airport is waiting to accommodate any commercial airline possible.
"The improvements - including the removal of rubble near the runway at a cost of R1.2 million to the metro-were made at the recommendation of a regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)". -rekordnorth.co.za. Among this, the airport wants to elevate itself even further and hopes to one day achieve the prestigious international title behind its name. The location was also the venue for the Adrenalin Airshow which took place there in June last year.
