P R O P E R T Y & I N V E S T M E N T NtshOngweni A NEW DESTINATION FOR DURBAN Construction on the Ntshongweni Urban Development will commence early this year, effectively creating a brand-new community much like the successful uMhlanga Precinct. A pinnacle place-making project, this new development from Tongaat Hulett is the next logical urban precinct expected to unlock socio-economic transformation for the highway area and surrounds. Environmentally sustainable, people-centric and strategically located on the N3, this development will become a new destination for KwaZulu-Natal. Two thousand hectares in extent, Ntshongweni is located 30 kilometres west of Durban. All development rights for Phase One, the urban and retail core, are in place and civil construction will proceed in early 2019 with essential road upgrades. Tongaat Hulett Developments Managing Director, Michael Deighton, says: ‘The urban and retail core will be anchored by the Mall of the West regional shopping centre, and will effectively kick- start the development in the same way that Gateway Theatre of Shopping did for uMhlanga.’
