Construction imminent at new Durban affordable housing development

Construction of a new affordable housing project at Bridge City – a joint venture between Tongaat Hulett and the eThekwini municipality – is due to start within the next few weeks. The development, 20 km north of the Durban central business district, will comprise 356 apartment units, priced from R499 000 and will be built by Calgro M3, which has bought the land for development in conjunction with home loan provider Chartwell Group. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom units include finishes such as granite kitchen tops, ceramic tiles, burglar bars, security gates and built-in bedroom cupboards in the main bedroom.
