NAME: Morningside Ridge
LOCATION: Morningside, Durban
STATUS: U/C
FLOORS: 7
HEIGHT: n/a
USE: Residential

Awesome views of the City, and greenbelt around the Umgeni River

this is developing nicely! Its looking better than pic. So far it is on the 4th floor. Will add some nice extra density to the upper morningside area, next to kensington.

Are they building that massive development right in front of Kensington?

Very mature looking building. Classy.

this dev is not in front of any building, so blocks no views.

It is right on Trematon drive, the Burman Bush nature reserve is right in front of it. it is 100m from Kensington.

It is on land that was kept as a municipal reserve, there is one other site next to it which is also being developed, but will be a small retail centre

I really love this development- good location, and I LOVE the simple, underdone design... thank God for the simplicity- it is so sophisticated ;)

glad u like simplicity too! simplicity is underrated!!! Must put the constructions pics for this one up, it is getting rather high now, 4th floor.

I think its cool.....seems like Huge balcony space! And as been said before it will bring more density to Morningside.

looking foward to the pics, do you have any on sanzala?

will go get of sanzala! keep forgetting it exsists!!

dont say that , I have a unit there.

sorry! its just a bit out of the way! will make a thread for it so that we can chat about it there, have many q's which i think u can answer.

Can you get some photos of this, dysan? (when its finished)

I really like it!!!

Glad u liked!

Now here is the one view they get...the other is of the beachfront and CBD. This greenbelt is right infront of the building!

the appartment I bought is down there on the right more

Construction is coming quickly...look at those towers in Morningside!!.....I had no clue..!!!

did u think morningside was very low lying dev?

No, but I was thinking more midrise type stuff.....and I wasnt expecting flagship towers like the ones above :)

thoise towers are at the end of the berea (the hills name ) on the northern side and are clustered with about 6-8 towers up to 28F. There are loadfs of appartment blocks on the Berea as it stretches over 4-5 KM and range from the low rise up to 15-20F resi towers with some office blocks and some shopping malls.
Great place to live. I lived in Innes rd and it was fantastic with the views etc

How come we dont see too many office highrises? Most seem to be 3-8 floors blocks....as opposed to highrise towers.

its cos the berea (morningside, musgrave , glenwoow etc) are a residential suburb and are only 5 min from the city CBD

just to clarify, the Berea comprises: Musgrave, Essenwood and Lower Berea. Morningside, Stamford Hill, and on its lower slopes, Greyville, are all separate areas, but tend to often be classed as part of the berea.

Glenwood is totally separate and can itself be broken into many areas: Bulwer, Davenport, Glenwood upper and Ridge.

The berea has a population of 250 000.

250,000?!?! Gosh, thats way higher than I thought. How many people live downtown do you know?

I looked at these on initial sale and thought they were overpriced , but then again it was a completly different design

I know somebody who bought an apartment in this building, his is right on the left wing, the projected view will be of Umhlanga & to the Point. Really lovely aprtments I must say, his is a 3 bedroom & study! I think he picked it up for R1,1 million, good value for such a big apratment, those size units at Simbithi will sell for R4 million.

Yeh, i think this will be a great building.

There are preliminary plans for a small boutique retail centre next this dev. It will include 2 restaurants, a cafe and 3 small stores, with a Woolworths foodstore.

Great news, M! Hope it comes through!!!!!

yeh...perfect for u jerome... :)

Here are some aerial views of construction

That last post was filled with WONDERFUL pictures... thanks alot... it reminds me of a project here in North T.O. that I really like.. I'll look for a pic.

-thryve

This project is coming out shweet. Cant wait till its ready, my boss already got numerous calls asking for his flat, willing to pay up to R200 grand more than the price he payed, but I dont think his selling this one.

Hi, does anybody know of any new development in the monrningside/musgrave area? Looking for a neat apartment/penthouse with views.
