point towards features such as the
creation of the green open park
spaces, mix development concepts,

created a “resort gateway” for city
dwellers. The exclusive development
is built to capitalise on the shift in
mindsets among new homeowners
who now prefer green spaces where
families could utilise it.

a sophisticated lifestyle amenities.
