Catalytic projects driving growth
The eThekwini Municipality, in a collaborative effort with the private sector, has embarked on large-scale spatial transformation projects, including the Umhlanga Arch, which stands as a testament to visionary development, brought to life through a substantial R1.3 billion investment by the Multiply Group. These projects are not just reshaping the local landscape but are crucial drivers of socio-economic recovery, creating countless employment and business opportunities while contributing substantially to the city’s revenue.
This landmark project not only epitomises luxury and innovation but also significantly contributes to the local economy, generating an impressive R20 million in city revenue.
Umhlanga Arch is a shining example of how strategic investment can transform urban landscapes and bolster economic growth, positioning it as a cornerstone of development within the vibrant heart of Umhlanga.
Many national and international companies have made the North Coast their base. Umhlanga has become the home to most of the major legal firms and finance companies, with other businesses also establishing their head offices in the area (e.g. Unilever, Retailability, Derivco, Aspen Pharmaceuticals).
A life of luxury and convenience
Umhlanga Arch is an experience. It flawlessly combines luxury apartments, AAA-grade office spaces, and an array of lifestyle amenities against the backdrop of breath-taking sea views. From staying at the flagship Hilton Garden Inn to savouring new tastes at the Legacy Yard Food hall and enjoying moments at the Back Yard rooftop bar, the Arch offers an unparalleled lifestyle.
Welcoming foreign investors
South Africa, and Umhlanga in particular, extends a warm welcome to foreign investors. Unlike many global markets that impose strict restrictions on foreign property investment, South Africa offers greater freedom, allowing investors to purchase a wide range of properties with fewer hurdles. This open-door policy, backed by one of the world’s best deeds registration systems, ensures ownership that is not just easy and secure but immensely rewarding.
The global context
Around the world, from Canada to Australia, restrictions tighten on foreign property investment, citing concerns over housing availability and market inflation. South Africa stands in stark contrast, actively encouraging foreign investment in its thriving property market. This inclusive approach has cemented the country’s reputation as a lucrative and attractive investment destination, particularly for those looking to diversify their portfolio internationally.
