“GIVEN its extraordinary location, between the uMhlanga village and The Ridge, combined with superb sea views, Ridgeside is being developed as a top-end mixed-use precinct. We are seeing premium-grade corporate offices, high-end retail and luxury residential facilities being built. Its proximity to King Shaka International Airport (10 km) and the Durban CBD (23 km) add to its desirability.”
That’s according to Chris du Toit, Commercial Director at Tongaat Hulett Developments.
The 40 hectare asset is being preserved as green space for the surrounding communities. One of the key developments taking shape is the Umhlanga Arch complex, a R1.2 billion development which covers 45 000 square metres and houses 163 apartments (including 30 loft apartments).
Then there is the Enigma Private Estate, a private gated residential estate. With 60 per cent of its 90 sites already sold, it is the fastest selling estate in the uMhlanga area to date.

The older community will also be catered for at Ridgeside. A 640-unit retirement complex is currently being designed for a 15 hectare site adjacent to Umhlanga Manors. The development will be unveiled later this year.
Ridge 7, the seventh office building to be developed by property developer FWJK in the Umhlanga Ridgeside office precinct, will be a stand-alone sectional title office block comprising a floor area of 7 700 square metres.
Commercial property investment firm, Taylor-Made Property Asset Managers has purchased a 55,000 square metre development site in Ridgeside in order to develop residential units, a 4-star international hotel, and commercial offices.
Perhaps one of the most luxurious developments to grace Ridgeside will be The Skye, a mixed-use space comprising residential, retail and a hotel.
