Tongaat Hulett Developments releases land at Sibaya

Tongaat Hulett Developments releases land at Sibaya

Date: 2015-08-14
Tongaat Hulett Developments, building on its highly acclaimed track record over the past 20 years with developments such as the Gateway Theatre of Shopping, La Lucia Office Estate and Ridgeside which are home to some of South Africa's most recognised names as well as the residential developments of Mount Edgecombe and Zimbali Coastal Resort fully endorses the confidence held in the broader Durban environment and adjoining coastal regions. Recent reporting lists Umhlanga and Zimbali as major investment areas for the ultra-wealthy in South Africa. Not only is this region attracting the attention of high net worth individuals from within South Africa but is increasingly becoming the focus from wealthy individuals from Africa.

Having identified the growing demand for sought after new coastal developments Tongaat Hulett Developments has now released the first parcels of land for development within the much awaited Sibaya precinct. The eastern component of the Sibaya precinct (Nodes 1 and 5) has full development rights that will effectively pump R8 billion into the local economy, create 7000 permanent jobs and generate R100 million in annual rates.

"There is a pent-up demand and serious appetite for investment in the north coast and this release will most certainly meet the aspirations of the well-heeled. Current developments like Izinga and Zimbali have been wholly sold out, leaving the market gasping for fresh investment opportunities," Tongaat Hulett Developments MD Mike Deighton said on Tuesday at the launch function held at the Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom.

The company launched the opportunity to more than 70 developers in Durban with Johannesburg on the roadmap for Wednesday and Thursday this week. Judging by the over subscription to the Durban launch we expect an even greater turnout in Johannesburg." said Deighton.

The development seeks to actively encourage a real integration of urban and natural environment where each element reinforces the other to provide an entirely new urban identity and way of life for future residents and visitors. Surrounded by three pristine forests covering some 350 hectares which are some of the only coastal dune forests found outside the Isimangaliso Wetland Park in northern KwaZulu-Natal.

Tongaat Hulett Developments would be responsible to construct the main boulevard access road to the three real estate packages heavily landscaping the surrounding areas, and will establish the management structures to enhance land and property values. The company would also be responsible for reticulating water, sewer and electricity to the site boundaries for the developers.

"Sibaya, quite simply, provides the platform for the last word in elegant, stylish and sophisticated living. It is the promise of superior levels of privacy and unobtrusive security coupled with extraordinary views of the ocean and Durban's coastline," Deighton said.

Judging by the interest already being shown, there is likely to be no shortage in proposals being submitted.
