Not totally load shedding free, but you will never need to take the stairs,&#8221; said Upton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studio units at The Fynbos start at <strong>R1,104 million<\/strong>. The one-bedroomed apartments start at R1,728 million, and the two-bedroomed apartments start at R4,920 million.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1890\" height=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Fynbos-Exterior.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-685709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Fynbos-Exterior.jpg 1890w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Fynbos-Exterior-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Fynbos-Exterior-774x1024.jpg 774w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Fynbos-Exterior-768x1016.jpg 768w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Fynbos-Exterior-1161x1536.jpg 1161w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Fynbos-Exterior-1548x2048.jpg 1548w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Fynbos-Exterior-1200x1587.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1890px) 100vw, 1890px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Station House<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This property is a 12-storey mixed development located at 19 Kloof Road in the heart of Sea Point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The building features 230 luxury apartments, ranging from studios to two-bed units priced from <strong>R2,195 million up to R5,495 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole development is linked to its own full-capacity generator &#8211;
