The project comprises of 40 000 m2 Mall, a 220 key Raddison Blu Hotel and 2 Apartment Towers boasting 460 opulent apartments which promises to be a world-class development.

Unable to attend the Johannesburg awards ceremony, Vivian Reddy was represented in Johannesburg by two young Edison Property executives, Brian Mpono and Siyabonga Tembe at the SAIBPP Convention and Annual Awards. They expressed their excitement for this recognition and thanked SAIBPP for honouring Edison Property Group.

Brian Mpono, project director for the Oceans Umhlanga Radisson Blu Hotel Public Offer said, "we are very fortunate to be entrusted with such responsibility, never in my lifetime did I ever think I would be tasked with not only raising capital for the R620m Oceans Hotel project but, also paving the way in transforming the industry together with my colleague Siyabonga. South Africa if you want to know what transformation is and how it's done, ask Edison Property Group." Siyabonga Tembe is the project development manager of the KwaDukuza Precinct & Mall development in Stanger shared the following sentiments, "the evening's event topic was transformation and I truly believe that Brian and I are living proof of that, thanks to Edison Property Group and the opportunities provided to us by our chairman, Vivian Reddy".

Mr Reddy said, "I was humbled by these two awards and it spurs me on to continue with my service to humanity".
