Two South African companies say they will put the finishing touches on a seven-story building expansion constructed with hemp blocks later this year.<\/p>\n

Hemporium and Afrimat Hemp, both of Cape Town, partnered to raise an existing conventional five-story building, 84 Harrington Street, to 12 stories by adding levels constructed with blocks from Afrimat Hemp.<\/p>\n

The building will house a flagship retail outlet for Hemporium\u2019s range of hemp-derived clothing, skin care and CBD products, a steak restaurant and 50 hotel rooms, said Hemporium founding partner and CEO\u00a0Duncan Parker.<\/p>\n

Setting a benchmark<\/h2>\n

The privately financed project\u00a0will serve as a showcase for industrial hemp in South Africa, \u201csetting the benchmark on how to build a safe, carbon-neutral, multi-story\u00a0building\u00a0using hemp blocks and hemp\u00a0systems,\u201d Parker said.<\/p>\n
