This site offers a highly attractive opportunity to acquire fully proclaimed, pre-approved RES 4 land in one of Midrand’s strongest residential development corridors. With zoning already granted for 273 units, the property significantly reduces development timelines, risks, and holding costs — allowing immediate progression to architectural planning and bulk service engagements.

Pre-approved & proclaimed
4 storeys allowed
