Four years since announcing the commencement of the world class R1.3 Billion Umhlanga Arch development , the first phase of this mixed-use precinct is now complete . The development first broke ground in October 2017 , planned as a joint venture between The Multiply Group and Devmco Group .
Recognised immediately by the iconic arched façade , the development brings the idea of mixed-use living to life . Live in luxury apartments and work in AAA-grade office spaces in the state-of-the-art glass arch . Stay in the South African flagship Hilton Garden Inn . Play along on the European-inspired High Street and experience bespoke retailers and curated events in the Legacy Yard . Savour new tastes at Legacy Yard Food hall . Share drinks with friends at the Back Yard rooftop bar .
Location and Site Umhlanga Arch is located between Ncondo Place and Vuna Close on the sea facing slopes of the Ridgeside precinct at Umhlanga Ridge outside Durban . The prominent , sloping site has a height allowance of up to 235msl , with a height difference on the site of approximately five floors .
Ridgeside is a four-precinct development that will complete Umhlanga Ridge . The 140-hectare site lies nestled within a rough triangle created by Umhlanga Rocks Drive and two major highways , the M4 and the M41 and on completion will effectively link Umhlanga Ridge to Umhlanga Rocks .
The brief to the architects , COA , called for a mixed-use development of 45,000m 2 of bulk which , when added with parking and services , ends up at an area of 90,000m 2 .
