Ballinrobe: Take The Fork Out! It's Back!

Much maligned (at least here) development The Ballinrobe in Sea Point seems to be back in action after construction stopped because they violated height restrictions. Sea Point reporter JP writes:

Drove past The Ballinrobe the other day and looks like building is back on. Guess the developers managed enough snot and trane to get City Council to retroactively approve their height restrictions.

This place was supposed to be finised over a year ago and now it looks like they're going to miss t he world cup tourists!

JP also sent a link to an ad from Ballinrobe on Gumtree. Read it and smell the desperation:

The developers are willing to combine Unit 103 and Unit 104 or Unit 104 & Unit 105 – Only possible with a full commitment from YOU!

Glencairn Heights: 18 Months Later, R290 000 Cheaper

Back in November 2008 this house in Glencairn Heights was on sale for R1 985 000, along with a used Land Rover as an incentive. 18 months later the same house is for sale for R1 695 000, although this time there's no car thrown in to sweeten the deal. I can't tell from the ad if it's still the original seller who couldn't sell the house and is now selling it R290 000 cheaper than they were asking 18 months ago or if it's the person who bought the house back then and now realises they're paying a massive bond and the days of 25% price growth they were pegging everything on are long gone and has decided to get rid of the albatross.

In this market either of those are feasible.
