ESTATE REVIEW

A staggering R 900 million road upgrade, of
which Steyn City contributed to, has already
vastly improved the road network and traffic
flow. The main road linking William Nicol Drive
and Cedar Road will be a 4-lane road with
additional cycle lanes on both sides and an
underpass will allow pedestrians, golf carts and
cyclists to cross underneath the main 4-lane
roads. The resort is within a 15 minute drive from
Lanseria airport and a planned airport shuttle will
provide an alternative transfer option for business
travellers and young executives on the go.
All services by Bigen Africa were not only required
to be technically sound but also authentically
pleasing, of the highest quality and sustainable.
Treated water from the Johannesburg Northern
outfall works has been designed and incorporated
as part of the various ponds and irrigation storage
in the development to ensure that facilities form
part of the natural landscape and feel of the
development.
One of the first facilities to be finished at the
resort is the perfectly manicured Nicklaus
Design 18-hole golf course built & maintained
by Golf Data (who also delivered the estate’s
landscaping) which promises a fair game of golf
for keen players and novices alike. The golf club
features the magnificent award winning now-

you-see-it-now-you-don’t clubhouse designed by
architects Wessel van Dyk and Jean Grobler. The
developers wanted the design of the golf course
and clubhouse to reflect that this is just one of a
plethora of leisure activities available at Steyn City.
