The Botswana Development Corporation's (BDC) landmark mixed-use building, the Fairscape Precinct, currently under construction at the Fairgrounds office park, will open its doors to the public next year.

According to the main contractor of the project, Stefanutti Stocks, the 15-storey building will have over 18,000 square metres of office space and 4,000 square metres of retail space - comprising upmarket restaurants, coffee bars, boutiques and craft shops.Phase Two of the project will include 13,000 square metres of both office and retail space and three level basement parking. The project includes a tower building with penthouses on the upper floors, retail on the lower ones and four other buildings consisting of office and leisure space.

"It is what is called a mixed-use development - meaning you can work, play and relax all in the same place. It'll have offices, shopping, with high-end shops; and there will be leisure facilities.It's different to anything else locally," said Stefanutti Stocks general manager, Tim Stow.
