One of Sandton’s last pieces of undeveloped land, a four-hectare prime real estate property situated directly above the Gautrain station concourse, is finally up for sale after being “long frozen in the wreckage of the state-capture years.” The land, previously controlled by the Gupta-linked Regiments Group (now in liquidation after a forensic probe), is being sold via a sealed-bid auction on November 27, with liquidators aiming for a price between R200 million and R300 million, a value below its original R280 million transaction price.
