S.W.O.T Analysis

Strengths? – Well located building, situated in the middle of the Benoni CBD. It is also close to all Transport facilities, buses, and Taxis as well as the Lakeside Mall. This can easily be re-developed into dwellings.

Weaknesses? –  The Facility only has parking outside on the pavement.

Opportunities? – Converting this building into apartments for accommodation. As Benoni CBD has transformed a few buildings into accommodation or Schools. There are many schools and Colleges in the area.

Threats? – If the building is converted into apartments, they should be aimed at middle-class tenants like students. As lower-income tenants are not the type you are trying to attract to the area.

Conclusion as to why this is a good property to purchase:

If this building was fully let or converted properly it would yield an even better return on investment.
