The project is intended to be developed as a residentially led mixed-use development and is currently in its procurement phase for the appointment of a developer," the MEC said.
Construction of the first phase of the social housing part of the project started in August 2020. The monthly rental of the social housing units ranges between R800 and R5 000 per month for differently sized units, according to the provincial government.
