It is a well-located project, adjacent to places of employment, social amenities and transport.

The project also provides good quality rental accommodation for the upper end of the low-income market, those earning less than R22,000.00, with the primary objective of urban restructuring, and creating sustainable human settlements.

One of the tenants, Valerie Nlapho says the facility is convenient for them

“We have a tuck shop here; we have a gym as well. So, we do not even have to leave the area. Everything is managed well, and issues are attended to as to when they arise. So far so good, we have not had many issues. I think they just need more space.”
