ESTATE LIVING In the Lap of Luxury Lifestyle estates I set the bar high n a flagging property market, lifestyle estates appear to be one of the only areas that continue to pique investors’ interest. Small wonder, then, that there’s enormous pressure to differentiate. Few have managed to do this as well as Steyn City. This is thanks largely to the developers’ insistence that all infrastructure should be ready even before the development was launched to market. This meant that purchasers were able to see what, exactly, they were buying into. Consequently, Steyn City investors knew from the outset the calibre of the facilities on offer ‒ a far cry from buying into a dream that simply doesn’t live up to the developer’s promise. 22 AUGUST 2017 SA Real Estate Investor www.reimag.co.za
