THE first phase of the multi-billion-rand Beachwood Coastal Estate development is set to break ground in about two months’ time. The developer, Gavin Strydom, detailed the process to be followed and the interest in the development. He revealed that work on the development could start as early as August.
The development, located along Durban North’s pristine coastline, has however been met with some opposition, with residents challenging the matter in court. The development will include a range of high-end residential offerings, complemented by carefully curated commercial facilities, including a wellness centre, coffee shop, restaurant, and a signature golf course with the Indian Ocean on its doorstep.
Strydom outlined the development programme and confirmed that construction tenders will shortly be invited.
"It is anticipated that a principal contractor will be appointed by August, allowing the first phase of development to commence. The first phase is expected to take approximately 18 months to complete.” Phase One will include the sale of premium freehold stands, enabling purchasers to design and construct their own dream homes in collaboration with a panel of pre-approved architects, engineers, and contractors. In addition, the developer will construct luxury sectional title apartments to cater to buyers seeking a lock-up-and-go coastal lifestyle.
