Developers have broken ground on the first phase of a major new development in KwaZulu-Natal, which will see a new ‘mini city’ built between Durban and Pietermaritzburg.
The first phase of the development is Westown, a mixed-use and retail component of the greater Shongweni Urban Development project.
According to the developers, the first phase of the project was ready to launch in 2020 but suffered delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Fundamentum describes Westown as a ‘new-town-in-town’ that will create an economic base for the sub-region. “Much of this economic base will be grounded in urban sustainability,” it said, adding that it will anchor the larger Shongweni Urban Development.
