Welgevonden

STELLENBOSCH
An ABSA DevCo development, Welgevonden Estate sits on the Northern fringe of Stellenbosch. With the Simonsberg mountain range as its backdrop, this pedestrian friendly estate offers both a safe & secure environment to live in.
The development comprises approximately 1200 houses ranging from smaller lock-up-and-go apartments to large 4-bedroom houses, being developed in phases over a period of approximately 4 years, with the final phase currently under development.
Narrow internal streets that widen into village squares and focal points reduces traffic speed and makes the estate a pedestrian friendly development where the motor vehicle does not dominate.

Urban Design

One of the fundamental principles guiding the planning and development of Welgevonden is that a neighbourhood area is to be established that would be rich in its diversity in terms of social composition. In the planning framework and development process provision was made that Welgevonden would comprise areas of various densities ranging from single storey homes to multi storey apartments.

The master plan makes provision for coffee shops, convenience shopping, restaurants, small offices and other compatible land-uses at the entrance to the Welgevonden Estate.
