The Westonaria Borwa Mega Project comprises of high standard fully subsidised housing, bonded / gap market and social housing / rental stock as well as economic, social and other communal facilities. The development is made up of various phases which will be implemented as separate projects to deliver the full scope of the development. The development is a true integrated mixed use development with a wide variety of land uses.

Due to the central location of the Project, the Westonaria Borwa Mega Project provides affordable housing in a mining area and makes available a wide choice of housing options to the employees of the various mines in the region. The Project will provide access to secure socio-economic opportunities within walking distance, consequently reducing travel distances and costs. The planned regional shopping mall and industrial park will further serve to decrease the number of unemployed individuals, within and around the planned community, while simultaneously increasing household incomes and the earning power / ability of previously disadvantaged individuals. The planned ±16 000 housing units together with the variety of community facilities and economic opportunities that will be developed will positively impact the economy of the region.

This project was made possible by the partnering of the following project stakeholders:

• Crimson King Developments
• Gauteng Department of Human Settlements
• Westonaria Local Municipality
• National Department of Human Settlements
