Prasa opens doors to new student accommodation in Braamfontein.

The Passenger Rail Association of South Africa (Prasa) has opened a new student residence in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. Complete with 700 beds, the redeveloped 12-storey building will provide safe and affordable housing to students from nearby universities and TVET colleges.

The project is a partnership between Prasa’s property branch, Intersite, and the Elevated Fund which aims to use Prasa’s unused buildings to earn money and support communities.

The building has study rooms, computer rooms, a gym, rooftop sports facilities, braai and social areas, laundry facilities, biometric access, and 24-hour security with CCTV cameras.
