In the August edition of Elle Magazine, a 10 page spread was shot on Main Street Life. Since hitting the shelves, the exposure has been great. Added to this, all residents who had invested, were hellava chuffed to see their home in the pages in such a classy mag.

Main Street Life is very proud to have Anisa in our ever growing community. She’s about to reside on the nearly completed fashion floor. We cant wait to have her use all the facilities in the building. Anisa has set up the well revered  label Loin Cloth and Ashes, and will use her unit here in Main Street Life as both a live space and work space.

She is actually the first resident to have one of our unique conversion units. Two singles that were taken back to back, and where a section of the diving wall was removed in order to have her move between spaces. Propertuity are working closely with the building’s architects Daffonccio and Associates to get the unit just right for someone in her position. She is taking the one half as a live space, and the other will be the new workspace of Loin Cloth and Ashes.

Uniquely positioned on the Fashion Floor, Anisa can book out the workshop spaces for when a big order comes in, and book out the exhibition spaces to present to clients, sell work, and hold exhibitions. All of this, for good old fashioned mahala! thats right, people often forget that these facilities are free to be used by residents.

CHECK OUT HER SITE

Every now and again, you meet someone amazing. Someone who, although only having known a short period of time, feels like a life long friend. Eric, has that charm. It feels like he’ been with us for years, watching us grow up, and being there to see the building develop into something truly great.

Eric came at a time when much explaining needed to be done. People are still learning what is where, and what is what. He’s there with a smile, and he’s there with a wisdom and dignity I discover everyday. Shake his hand, talk to him, listen to him talk.

We down to the final push now people. Like all construction sites, we were met with our fair share of delays and issues. But saying all that, the building is so close to being finished. Cant believe I was once the only one living here, up in my show space castle. Some of the coolest people in Joburg are now living with me and their stories and adventures are going to be documented right here on Main Street Life .TV

At the time of eventually getting round to publishing these pictures, the roof already looks incredibly different. We already have an amazing art installation, a roof over the boxing gym, and gravel walkways throughout the roof.

All of this should be ready within a month of publishing this. Just in time for summer.

The down on the ground floor, this is the stage for the restaurant going in on the corner.

Just thought I’d share this image with you. I took on my way back from The Troyeville Hotel. Apart from some colour tweaks, this is exactly what the sunshine was doing to the Main Street Life sign. We had actually walked to The Troyeville, so it was a pretty big occasion. It was very similar to the time a few of us walked to Ghandi Square, or to The Top of The Cartlon. We actually have that city life, the one we dreamed of where we can walk about…we just didn’t know it.
