George mayor Leon van Wyk said the developers of the site, Neotrend Group, submitted building plans to the municipality in December 2022 and the plans were approved on July 6 2023.  

The building on the 1,228m² site consisted of a basement, above ground parking and four floors of 42 residential flats, with an 887m² footprint.  

“The construction material is four times that, 3,600m² of construction standing on parking above ground,” Van Wyk said. 

Winde said he is briefing the families of the workers on developments. 

“There is constant briefing that will run throughout the night.”
