Ensuring building and office efficiency in the face of load shedding
As Eskom carries out critical maintenance on its failing units, South African landlords and facilities managers have to implement measures of their own to ensure energy security for their properties. There certainly appears to be no foreseeable end to the current load shedding, and facility managers now have to factor in rolling blackouts as part of the daily management equation. In addition to the security of supply, facilities managers also face the challenge of keeping the cost of energy at the lowest level during load shedding. Innovative solutions are therefore required to achieve reliable power supply at the lowest cost during grid power outages. 10 Mar 2020 Read more

SA's embattled office space market plagued by escalating vacancies
With business and investor confidence hitting new lows, the local property sector has taken a desperate nosedive. The rapid downward trajectory is shockingly visible in the moribund office space market, which is suffering from high vacancies across the country's four economic hubs. While Cape Town has at least enjoyed a degree of buoyancy in certain areas, Johannesburg, Durban and Pretoria are in dire need of renewed investment activity as they battle against high vacancies and protracted rental pressure. The current negative trends in commercial property can arguably be attributed to the high levels of political and economic uncertainty, with investors and business leaders preferring to hold back on long-term commitments while the country remains in a fragile position. 6 Aug 2019 Read more
