WHY LOGISTICS FOR THE OUTER WEST, SHONGWENI & WESTOWN?

One of the eThekweni Municipality’s 5 main industrial areas, that being: Durban Central, South Durban Basin, Inner West, and North, the OUTER WEST (Shongweni, Hammarsdale, Cato Ridge) has historically had the (significantly) lowest share of contribution to GDP in the city, indicating a need and opportunity for growth and development.

A major advantage is the location on the N3 corridor also known as the National Strategic Integrated Project 2 (SIP 2). This logistics and industrial corridor between Durban – Free State– Gauteng is defined a as route with investment and development opportunities in accessible nodes.

Keystone and Cato Ridge are two such nodes that have been slowly developing, leaving SHONGWENI as the next logical, and closest, new industrial development node to the Durban Port, with its ease of access to the N3 and the surrounding arterial networks adding massive weight to its potential.

Already easily accessible for day-to-day business, transport and social services for existing and future local communities, and being connected to existing residential areas, Shongweni offers opportunities beyond and in support of, the industrial landscape, including for new residents, businesses, shops, and recreational activities.

As a greenfield site, WESTOWN offers all these opportunities in an integrated, planned and managed environment that allows for new investment both by the public and private sectors.

WHY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR THE OUTER WEST & WESTOWN?

Residential property trends in the OUTER WEST have been relatively consistent in terms of property sales, due to the region’s natural characteristics and attributes and the broad market opportunities available.

There is increasing demand for apartments and townhouses with the market requiring top-end security and a wide range of family-friendly facilities within the development, as well as access to surrounding amenities.

Across the OUTER WEST catchment areas, the adult population has increased at a rate of 6,5% per annum over the last nine years. This growth is well proportioned between the younger family market 36 – 49 years old, and the 50+ population.

SHONGWENI is viewed as a prime location for the realisation of this demand, due to its ease of access to day-to-day business, transport, and social services for existing and future local communities, its connection to existing residential areas, and the availability of developable land.

As a prime piece of developable land, WESTOWN offers opportunities across all age groups and income levels through new apartments and walk-up living that will be supported by retail and commercial activities and uses, supported by lifestyle-related activities.  This as part of an integrated, planned, easily accessible and managed environment.

WESTOWN APARTMENTS is a response to the Outer West’s call for residential units to buy or invest in within the secure environment of Westown.

Planned by Westown developers Fundamentum Dev Co, this development will focus on delivering a modern and convenient residential within an environment of comfort and luxury.

• The development will include 3, 2 and 1 bedroom units with carefully tailored and thoughtfully placed elements.
• Floor plan layouts join multiple spaces into one, promoting an airy ambience with functionality at its core without compromising style.
