Refurbished by the Johannesburg Housing Company in 2007 to restore it to good working order and provide safe and decent housing, Cresthill is a City of Joburg Better Buildings project that was awarded to the JHC. It is located in Hillbrow and is part of the Pietersen Street eKhaya Neighbourhood Programme – an initiative by the JHC and shared by neighbouring property owners, works with city agencies to create and maintain a safe, clean neighbourhood.
Make Hillbrow Home
During apartheid, and predominantly a white neighbourhood, it was known for its tolerance; regarded as one of the few 'grey' areas, where different ethnic communities hung out in a politically progressive and cosmopolitan society. It had a hip, artistic and creative community, and the streets buzzed until all hours. Now community initiatives try to curb crime and keep the streets clean, like Ekhaya Neighbourhood; walking tours are offered by organisations such as Dlala Nje, a regeneration programme trying to change the face of Hillbrow and Ponte - the tallest high-rise cylindrical building that dominates the inner city skyline, along with the Hillbrow Tower with its highly visible pink ball; the violent crime rate is down, and new year's celebrations are less chaotic.
