“It is very encouraging to see such diversity in these new developments in our area” says Graham White Managing Director of Local Real Estate. “It starts with offerings to the first-time buyers such as the entry level Ballito Village apartments built and conceptualized by Arcis. These same developers will also be launching another new estate named Woodlands Estate near Caledon, again catering for first time buyers. There are also now entry-level free-standing homes in estates, such as Lalela which has long been needed in this area . It is also reassuring that we also have some office parks and mixed-use developments. These mixed-use developments cater for the growing desire and need for convenient, appealing and sustainable areas where people can live, work and shop. Interestingly the popularity of mixed-use developments is surging worldwide.”
All these developments take many different forms, but they all share the goal of creating lively, sustainable communities as well as the luxury of choice either for permanent homes or for investors requiring a positive ROI (Return On Investment).
