Boschendal Estate
This office has prepared the development and conservation plans for the project which would, inter alia, generate R100 million for funding of community empowerment, land reform and conservation programmes.
The development plans for the mixed-use on Boschendal’s 2,400-hectare estate include 19 ‘Founders Estate’ sites on the Simonsberg mountain, ranging in size from 20-40ha.
The development also comprises an upmarket 400-unit retirement village, a 250-room five-star hotel & a mixed-use precinct combining shopping, offices & apartments, as well as approximately 500 residential units set in small clusters amongst the vineyards.
Ultimately only 7% of the 2,400 hectares will be developed and 93% of the farm will be protected by a 300 year old lease hold. The Boschendal manor house will remain open to the public.
