Building with brick in Midrand
Halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Midrand has grown on the open land along the N1, and much of the building is new: estates in Waterfall, Kyalami and Carlswald, rows of sectional title complexes in Noordwyk and Vorna Valley, and office and logistics parks near Allandale Road. To the east, Ivory Park, Ebony Park and Rabie Ridge add rooms and rental units in cement bricks bought from small yards or made on the stand. Developers order face brick and plaster bricks in bulk, so ask about the full order up front for colour. Yards sit around Olifantsfontein, Kaalfontein and Halfway House.
