SCIENCE
BEHIND ROI
2016
THE
Return on investment is a tricky thing. On the one hand, you have to
consider what you are paying, what the rental possibilities are like,
what the market is doing - now and ten years from now. And on the
other hand, what the weather is doing.
Wait. What?
Usually, when talking about ROI, most people wouldn’t pay any
attention to the weather. It’s global trends, not global warming.
Unless of course the development itself is so unique that it is backed
by science, for a reason.
In the case of Kabeljauws Beach estate in Jeffreys Bay, science is
precisely why you should invest. Because not only was it designed,
engineered and bullet-proofed by award-winning CMAI Architects
- the same people who brought us Thesen Islands in Knysna, but also
because it’s the first of its kind in South Africa.
The reason being that Kabeljauws Beach took to heart the old
saying of location, location, location. Situated between the edge of
town and the Kabeljous river mouth, it is also situated on the beach.
Not close to the beach, or a minute of stiff walking from the
beach, but right on the beach. This is where science saves the
day, because surely an investment that close to the sea would
be subject to rising oceans or even spring tides? Surely it would.
Which is why it was engineered to protect against severe weather
conditions through the use of a buried gabion revetment. What
this means is that the views are unhindered and your safety
guaranteed for at least the next 100 years.
Not that you would hold on to it if investment was the goal. Consider
the fact that this estate, apart from the supreme location, also
boasts contemporary coastal architecture, private courtyards, a
mixed-use precinct including a beach café, pool terrace as well
as state-of-the-art security.
With only 43 opportunities to own either a luxury apartment,
penthouse, freestanding home or a rowhouse, chances are that
the reselling value alone is worth the price of admission. Not to
mention the renting possibilities.
Talking about price, at this moment, Kabeljauws Beach sells from
R995 000 upwards. Even when you are looking only at global
trends, it is an excellent opportunity underscored by ROI.
