Situation

The iconic Chambers of Change comprises of 4 adjacent buildings along Pritchard Street, in the heart of the Johannesburg CBD. The buildings also front Eloff Street and Joubert Street, with excellent exposure, while enjoying high foot traffic and retail trading. The immediate area is characterised by high density residential, retail, and commercial properties.

The property is walking distance from Park Station and is easily accessible via public transport, the
Reya Vaya bus route and the nearby M1, M2 and M31 highways.

It is ideally situated within close proximity to Ghandi Square, Small Street and Carlton Centre.

Description

The site is improved with 4 multi-storey buildings, all with ground floor retail and vacant offices
above.

Each building enjoys income from National fashion retailers.

Cuthberts Chambers (1904), visible from the corner of Pritchard and Eloff Streets, is characterised
by its beautiful late Victorian external façade, wooden window frames and decorative cast-iron
balcony rails. The building is well-maintained and in good condition, it is serviced by two lifts and
features a spiral wooden staircase.

Dunvegan Chambers (1934), is a lovely heritage 10 floor high-rise building on the corner of Pritchard
and Joubert Street with high street retail opposite Shoprite & Edgars with lovely, neat offices above.
This is a spectacular building in the Transvaal style Art Deco with beautiful relief panels on the side
depicting the industry and progress on the Rand.
Hilson House (1929), has a lovely Victorian external façade, top-class retail with three floors of office
space above.

Royalty House (circa 1930’s), has a striking revamped Art Deco façade, top class retail with two
floors of stunning training/office space above.
The buildings previously served as advocates chambers, as the High Court is only a short walk
away.

The buildings were refurbished in the last two to five years. This would benefit an investor who
wishes to redevelop the properties. The 4 properties would allow the investor to take a phased
approach on a residential conversion.

The Foschini Group occupies the whole of the ground floor retail.
