The property developer and investor's new head office, Die Klubhuis, houses all its major businesses including Atterbury Asset Management headed by Lucille Louw, Atterbury Property Development headed by James Ehlers and the company’s financial services under the management of Adriaan van Rooyen.

“When we took the decision to reap the benefits of consolidating our Pretoria and Johannesburg operations, neither of our existing office spaces were suitable for our new needs. Atterbury was founded in Pretoria in 1994, and we are incredibly proud of our heritage and connection to the city. So, we selected our newest development, The Club in Hazelwood, for our new consolidated base of business,” explains Louis van der Watt, CEO of Atterbury.

Impact of technology on the workplace

Armond Boshoff, deputy CEO of Atterbury, adds that today’s office arrangements are changing as technology alters the way in which people work. “Atterbury understands that offices are so much more than a company address. They give form to a company’s identity and have the potential to support its success with cost-efficient, flexible and collaborative space that inspires innovation and boosts performance. We wanted our new offices to be a great place where skilled people of the highest calibre can enjoy working.”

Atterbury's new HQ, Die Klubhuis, at The Club precinct

The Club precinct is home to 14,000m² of retail, restaurants and offices in Club Retail and Club One. The 5,200m² Die Klubhuis (Club Two) houses a 3,300m² Planet Fitness Megaclub, as well as A-grade offices, including Atterbury’s new HQ. The 10,000m² Club Three will include The Club Advocates’ Chambers, which will be operational on 1 November 2017, a medical day hospital of around 5,000m² and 15 residential units. This final aspect of the development will be complete in the first quarter of 2018.

Atterbury invested around R180m in infrastructure in The Club precinct, including major road infrastructure upgrades in the surrounding areas as well as creating 1,080 basement parking bays in the precinct.
