The site will face onto Park Drive with the entrance to parking coming off The High Street. The proposed development will form part of the Umhlanga Ridge Town Centre. The park is being designed to be the focal point of the New Town Centre and will offer investors to be part of the incredible vision being displayed. The proposed development will be within walking distance of the Gateway Centre giving investors the tranquility of the park as well as the unlimited source of entertainment and shopping lifestyle.

The proposed development will offer investors to own or rent their own retail and office sections. The retail space, which will face both Park Drive and The High Street, will enjoy outstanding exposure to what will be a highly popular and prestigious destination.

The office sections will be on the first, second and third floors and will be serviced by state of the art elevators. The office sections will enjoy views of the park and lake, whilst having access to the proposed restraunts and garden decks tastefully created within the development. There will be a total of 2609m² of office space available in sections from 156m² to 2600m². Undercover parking will be provided for in the building as per the town planning requirements with the possibility of extra bays available, should they be required.

I like it, and the vision for the development. Thanks for posting.

I like it too.. and it's nice that it's opposite the park. Will make for a lovely place to live.

it definately has a classical style that wont date. this design is representative of the other buildings for the area

I love it!!!! The New Town Centre in general looks good, but I have to admit that the buildings (both built & proposed) started looking repetitive. This looks like a nice breath of fresh air.


Best regards,
Umhlanga

^^ i do hear what ur saying. from the renders they do look repetitive...

BUT... when built and ur standing next to them, they look rather different and unique...i walked past the ones in aurora drive and along palm boulevard today.

The retail stores in 7 on Palm will be opening end of August.

I LOVE this one - it is timeless and very classy. I can imagine a PRADA and LOUIS VUITTON in the retail sector.

Finally a unique design, this one looks great, plus bring next to the park it gives it that real classic atmosphere.

Excellent! Pity there's not more like this.

^^ you know why it is unique? cos it was not done by one of the big design houses (EPA are everywhere!!!).

the architect is Torbjorn Hanssen Architects based in La Lucia.

This area around the park is supposed to be THE area in the NTC according to Moreland. As such this classy style seems that it will be the tone for the area. i have 3 other dev's in a similar style to post, all next to this one. they are all classical in design.

very nice..i actually think it will look better in reality...these renderings prob don't do it justice..

this is great, costs?

Hmm if this is deemed to be the "Elite" part of NTC, with all the other not so "elite" place starting from a mill this place should start at 2-3 mill?

i dont have prices, but from what i gathered from Moreland you will only find large apartments in this area, with sweeping glass views accross the park. Pricing was starting at R3,5m for this one

whoooa thats expensive.

whoooa thats expensive.
yeap

as i said it is the high end market in this area.

Sehr gut!

Please load the retail with expensive shops, designer clothing, florists, etc.!!! :D

just some more images, and a location guide as to where it is in relation to the park, for orientation. The high street will be lined with exclusive stores, cafes, restaurants and bars...moreland stated: "The high street will not have any chain restaurants and only the high end fashion stores. We want it to be THE street for parkside's elite."

With all eyes focusing on developments in the Umhlanga Ridge New Town Centre, it comes as no surprise that Madison On Park Drive was 80% sold out prior to the official public launch! This joint venture with Cape Town based Loius Group comprises of 5600sqm of retail and office space worth R95m, with a prime location to the north of the Gateway Shopping Centre overlooking CJ Saunders Park. It is anticipated that construction will commence by early 2007 for completion mid 2008.

Following on the succses of this project, Key Projects have entered into partnership with Rick Wilson, well known Durban business man, to develop Mayfair. Situated next to Madison, this R91m development consists of 5 200sqm of retail and office space, and plans should be finalised in the new year. Interest in this site is an indication that this area will be a highly popular and presitigous destination to work and live in.

this one has added an extra floor and kept the same design, is now called Lincoln on the lake.

this one is now complete. Growthpoint have moved into the top floor for their regional offices... there is a cafe going in downstairs, no idea who yet

Latest pics from today. Looks like the final product?

Yup growthpoint have moved in. Looking good. As is liberty!

What a contrast in the 2 designs, one side has an oldish architectural look to it with the new modern office block oppositte it. I like it makes the area less boring.

diversity :)

Some more i took today. Growthpoint have fully moved into the roof and work is on a retail store downstairs...me thinks it looks like a cafe.

Personally i love the detail in this building, all the moulds, lighting.
