Bridge City to drive job
creation in Durban
Bridge City, a strategically located industrial, commercial and
residential precinct to the north of Durban, will drive substantial
economic development and job opportunities.

B

rian Ive, development executive at Tongaat Hulett
Developments, says that both established and
emerging businesses stand to benefit from a
strategically located mixed use residential, commercial
and business hub that is the first of its kind in a former
‘township environment’ in KwaZulu-Natal.
It is expected to uplift the INK (Inanda, Ntuzuma and
KwaMashu) area, which has been earmarked for development
and job creation initiatives, as well as greater Durban.

SA HOUSING

Already, 60% of the bulk available – or 70% of Bridge City
by site area – has been sold.
To date, 12 properties have been or are in the process of
being transferred. This is expected to grow by the end of
the year as on-going negotiations are likely to lead to the
sale of additional sites as Bridge City progresses.
Just three large sites in the Bridge City Business Estate are
still available.
