Waterkloof Marina Retirement Estate is progressing in leaps and bounds. After months of planning and preparation all approvals fell in place, the installation of municipal services on site are well underway and the showhouses are under construction. The launch date to our waiting list is currently scheduled for April 2019 with the public launch one to two months later. To date we have received unprecedented demand for these properties. More and more South Africans are recognising the extraordinary investment and lifestyle benefits that our luxury retirement lifestyle developments offer.
It also offers full ownership and not just life rights as most other retirement developments do. This means you will own
• Quality on-site 24-hour frail-care and medical facilities as well as Dementia and Alzheimer* care,• effective security,• full ownership retirement property,• lifestyle centre from the first phase with complete support facilities
…all on your doorstep in the upmarket suburb of Waterkloof. It’s not hard to see why demand for Waterkloof Marina far outstrips supply. Add to this the extraordinary natural setting, birdlife, walking trails and the fact that it is Pretoria’s only waterfront retirement development and you soon realise that Waterkloof Marina encapsulates everything that retirement dreams are made of.
Given the incredible investment growth in retirement lifestyle developments and the fact that it is developed as full ownership property that can be owned by a person of any age, many people take the opportunity to invest in these properties well ahead of retirement age, renting out the units and paying off the bonds until they’re ready to retire themselves. For those looking to scale down a little sooner and still live an active lifestyle, residency is from 50 years of age. It really gives you an opportunity to plan in advance for retirement.
The opportunity to buy at launch prices and share in the above-average capital growth and rental income typical of Central Developments’ full ownership retirement developments, highlights this new development as an opportunity not to be missed. With the added benefit of no transfer costs or bond registration fees, any property investor will easily identify it as an excellent opportunity even in slower market conditions.
Talking about market conditions and the economy, South Africa has been through an extraordinary and eventful year on the economic and political front. At Central Developments, we kept a close eye on what happened in our country and are now very positive about the outlook for 2019 and beyond. There are many positive indicators that our country and economy are finally turning the corner and that our challenges, although still numerous, are being dealt with in a methodical, structured and positive way.It is easy to get bogged down in all the negative and populist rhetoric as we lead into an election year, but we are reminded of one very important fact: “Things are not getting worse. They are getting uncovered. We need to hold tight and continue to pull back the veil.” Our country has been through many major changes and political shifts and not once did we collapse. We’re not about to do so in 2019 either and it is time to shrug off the irrational pessimism and invest in positive actions and behaviours.
Adrian Gore, CEO of Discovery, was recently vocal about the fact that as South Africans, we are the most irrationally pessimistic country in the world, simply because we tend to focus only on the negative without looking at the full, balanced picture. We gather around braais and social events caught up in perpetual talk of declinism, firm in our ignorance of how national development indicators have actually improved and convinced that everything is on a downhill trajectory despite the facts that tell us otherwise.
It’s time to question our perpetual gloom, take off the blinkers and broaden our perspectives because if we don’t, we simply won’t see the many opportunities or our country’s progress, and there has been plenty.
Just to reaffirm that we continue to live in one of the most extraordinary, open and democratic countries in the world and that none of our challenges are intractable or insoluble:
With all this in mind Central Developments would like to join you in embracing all that 2019 has to offer!
Do not forget to diarise the coming launch of Waterkloof Marina and certainly do not forget to share the prospects of a good property investment with your closest friends and family members.
