Sprawling across eight hectares of
greenery and communal space in Midrand,
the 552 apartments and 24 villa complex
brings nature and urban living together in
a sectional title environment. The develop-
ment will create between 3 000 and 5 000
direct jobs over the next two years, as well
as a further 1 000 indirect jobs. These
jobs are expected to contribute around
R350-million to the SA economy over the
construction period.
The residences will boast modern
architecture with sleek interior finishes,
high-end security, fibre to the home and the
latest, energy-efficient technologies. Osho
is using building information modelling to
ensure maximum safety and efficiency for
this construction.
The marketing (off-plan sales) efforts
commenced on 20 May and construction
will be completed in phases over the next
24 months. This is Osho’s first foray into
residential property development, with
plans to launch at least two more
residential developments in Gauteng in
the next few years.
Says Sumit Agrawal, CEO of Osho
Property Holdings: “There is a shortage of
value for money housing in Gauteng for
a market seeking the lifestyle benefits of
a secure and sustainable living. We have
entered the property market to address
this gap with residential developments that
offer great social and lifestyle facilities to
aspirational buyers.”
Solinti is located 10 km from Sandton,
30 km from Pretoria, 40 km from OR Tambo
International Airport and only 7 km from
the Midrand Gautrain Station. The serene
estate overlooks the Rietspruit River, yet
offers easy access to South Africa's largest
shopping mall, The Mall of Africa, and other
convenient urban facilities.
Solinti offers beautiful relaxation and
entertainment areas with something for
every member of the family – from the
waterpark, skating rink, zip-lines and pump
track for the kids to indoor and outdoor
gyms, putting greens, and jogging and
cycle tracks for the whole family. There are
also tranquil parks, a mini-hockey field, a
communal pool and a large club house for
parties and functions.
Agrawal says: “We’re excited to be
breaking ground on this development,
offering families a sanctuary of sustainable
living with easy access to the best urban
facilities as well as great opportunities
for property investors. The property
follows our corporate ethos of sustainable
development, promoting wellness and
renewable living. We see wonderful
potential in Gauteng property develop
ment in the years to come.”
