Salt Rock City, a landmark 30-hectare estate that officially launched on 29th March 2025, is the latest visionary coastal development being delivered by the trailblazing Devmco Group.
Headquartered in Sibaya, and with offices in Australia and Botswana, Devmco ‘s impressive track record includes the landmark Sibaya Precinct and Umhlanga Arch projects, plus successful developments in Brettenwood and Zimbali. The proudly KZN-based DEVMCO Group has cemented its position as the province’s leading developer and with Salt Rock City, DEVMCO is unveiling their first development in a reimagined precinct where they are actively refining the over 10 year old masterplan and preparing to launch further catalytic projects.
Salt Rock City has an exceptional location situated between well-established estates to the north and south, and just a few kilometres from swimming beaches and the N2 highway. What sets Salt Rock City apart however is that Unlike many new developments that sell a vision of future amenities, Salt Rock City is uniquely positioned with everything already in place. Adjacent to the development is a thriving retail centre with major anchor tenants and medical offices, plus the highly regarded Curro Salt Rock school is also close by. Additionally, DEVMCO has leveraged the land’s historical value to introduce market-driven pricing that is unlikely to be seen again on the North Coast.
Their ethos, “Innovation That Matters”, is truly reflected in this development. Filling a critical gap in the market, the product has been brought to market at attainable price points that appeal to a diverse spectrum of homeowners ranging from young professionals, empty nesters and the over 60’s age group.
Offering 189 sectional title units and 188 freehold sites, and flexibility is at the heart of this DEVMCO development. The sectional title turnkey homes are priced from R3.5 million in 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom or 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom homes options in single-storey or split-level designs. The vacant land sites are priced from R950,000 and over 90% are platformed sites for either single- and dual-level homes.
Flanked by forests and with a riverine section in the middle of the estate, the range of sites have been specifically sculpted to offer either sea, forest and conservancy views, with space for gardens and privacy. The sites have also been shaped to provide both practicality for the build as well as extra width to provide distance between neighbours. The timeline to build is within two years, with a time frame of 18 months for completion. The infrastructural services are planned for construction at the end of 2025, and transfer of erven is planned for April 2026.
With a clean and sleek aesthetic, the visually dominant element of the architectural style of the homes estate will be overhanging low-pitch or flat roofs, rectilinear forms, large opening for views and ventilation, horizontal layering and inner courtyards.
Additionally, the estate has been positioned with low levies, and will encompass a padel court, (a second court has been planned for) and three community spaces—including a children’s play area and a lap pool.
As a premier estate, Salt Rock City is set to redefine coastal estate living, setting a new benchmark for modern living combined with seamless convenience and connectivity. With pricing unlikely to be repeated in a master planned new development, this is a rare opportunity to secure a stake in a thriving, high-growth community.
