First steps for international school
Construction of the International School of Cape Town in Somerset West has started. This week (6 August 1999), bulldozers moved in to clear a section of property at the Somerset West Business Park where the school is to be located.
The project is being undertaken by the Rémey Group which was established in Somerset West in 1994. The same company is currently involved with projects such as a 6 000m² shopping centre in Bellville, an office block in Durbanville and single residential houses in the Boschenmeer Golf and Country Estate in Paarl.
According to Rémey’s Managing Director, Johan Meyer, construction of the local school is to be complete by the end of November 1999 - in time for the scheduled launch date in January 2 000.
The school, set on a 20 acre site, will have a full complement of sports pitches, sports hall, theatre and chapel. It is anticipated that the school will have 700 students by the year 2004.
Wilf Stout, founding Headmaster of the International School of Cape Town, said he aims to see “the establishment of an international, co-educational, primary and secondary school at this time as offering to members of the international communities and to South Africans an alternative to the traditional independent and government schools of the Cape.”
“The school is open to all children,” said Mr Stout.

 New home for developers
The offices of George Hazelden Properties have moved and are now (4 June 1999) located in Phase 1 of the Somerset West Business Park development.
The offices used to be located in the old farm According to Mr Hazelden, the land in Phase 1 was sold a year ago.
“I believe that after the elections the interest rates will decline rapidly thus stimulating the entire economy. This is why I have positioned myself to maximise our effectiveness in getting new business to move to our development,” he said.
Somerset West Business Park was given momentum recently with Colliers RMS and Stauch Foster moving in to design and develop Phase 2 into a 4 000m² convenience centre and a value centre of 10 000 m².
On the longer term they have designed buildings for the entire two kilometres of Business Park’s commercial section which runs parallel to the N2/T2.
Hazelden Drive, of course To have the family name eternalised in a town is a luxury and privelege few people will enjoy.
Property developer George Hazelden (right), however, has got it right.
The R1 million private entrance road from the Sir Lowry’s Pass road to his Heritage Park development was officially opened by Helderberg mayor Leon Deacon this week (1 October 1999).
The road’s name? Hazelden Drive, of course.
School completed in blitzy four months
The International School of Cape Town is ready to receive its first intake of pre-primary and primary pupils on 25 January next year [2000], after this phase of the school’s construction was recently completed. Built in a mere four months by Rémey Group Contractors, the school will eventually occupy over eight and-a-half hectares of developer George Hazelden’s Heritage Park. Rémey started construction on August 1, 1999. According to Johan Meyer, managing director of the Rémey Group of companies, every aspect of the project ran smoothly as a result of good cooperation from all parties involved. “The loss of seven working days due to rain could not stop the rapid progress on site,” he says.
