Wapnick pioneered the conversion of redundant and derelict office blocks in the Pretoria CBD into secure and desirable residential accommodation. After perfecting his model in Pretoria, armed with his belief in the life of the inner city of Johannesburg, took his successful recipe of regeneration to the Johannesburg CBD. Wapnick furthermore developed various well known industrial properties and retail developments.
