First Sibaya development node opens

The race for a luxurious seafront apartments set between Umhlanga and Umdloti has begun, as the first Sibaya precinct development was unveiled this week.

Interested buyers are said to be planning to camp out at the Durban ICC in order to be at the front of the queue when sales open on December 19.

Extending from the Ohlanga River in the south, the Mdloti River in the north and the N2 highway in the west, the Sibaya precinct has been split into five nodes over 750 hectares, with OceanDune Sibaya being the first development to open offering 260 apartments.

Tongaat Hulett executive, Sithembiso Mthembu, said the style and feel of the development was completely in sync with the vision of the Sibaya Precinct.

“The area will offer a unique lifestyle whereby the natural landscape and expansive areas offer discerning buyers a fusion of live-work-play,” said Mthembu.

“The OceanDune Sibaya development will follow the ethos of environmentally-conscious development principles, integrating urban development with the natural environment,” he said.

Developer for OceanDune, Charles Thompson said the architectural design and spirit of OceanDune Sibaya will draw on the open, inviting surrounds.

“Every apartment will be designed to maximise the ocean vistas and natural light, minimising the need for artificial temperature controls,” said Thompson, whose portfolio includes projects such as Zimbali Suites, Ocean Club Zimbali and The Square Boutique Hotel.

Investors will have the option of one, two, three or four-bedroom apartments and penthouses, which start from R995 000.

The tiered apartment block is situated on the most naturally protected site within the precinct.

Surrounded by the indigenous Hawaan Forest to the south and east with unobstructed ocean views for the majority of apartments, homeowners will be completely submerged in nature.

Outdoor, community activities are supported by a range of facilities including jogging trails, lap pools, a kiddies play park, fully equipped beach clubhouse and a prayer room.

Residents will also enjoy access to a range of retail facilities including a gym, food market, cocktail bar and restaurant situated within the estate.

The Sibaya precinct will offer residential freehold properties, residential apartments, hotels, offices, retail, entertainment, educational and recreational facilities.

Sales and marketing director of KW Realty Ignite, Pamela Naidu, said the public will need to register at www.oceandune.co.za in order to receive an invitation to the sales event on December 19.

“We are confident that this product will generate major interest, both by investors and interested residents. Opportunities to purchase will be limited.”
