Channelling investment inland

The Upper Highway area, which includes key logistics hubs such as Westmead and Hammarsdale along the main N3 route to Gauteng which is in the throes of a multi-billion-rand upgrade, is another noteworthy investment node.
The most obvious development taking shape in Durban’ s Outer West is the R15-billion Westown Development which promises not only residential but also retail and logistics space.
Carlos Correia, CEO of Fundamentum Property Group, which is driving this development, notes that the greater Westown Precinct is moving ahead rapidly:“ Westown focuses on the value of open space and is designed to integrate with existing outdoor and lifestyle activities that define the Shongweni / Hillcrest sub-region such as horse riding, trail running, mountain biking, walking, birding and much more.
With a primary catchment area stretching from Westville to Cato Ridge, just off the N3 highway, Westown is attractive due to its location and ease of access.”
