In the Studio Deluxe, the kitchen will only be shared with one other student, which makes it the ideal two bedroomed apartment. The shared kitchen will be fitted with a fridge, microwave, kettle and Snappy Chef stove.
Security is of the utmost importance and all rooms will be fitted with biometric access control. Water, electricity and two Gigabyte Wi-Fi per month will be included in the fee. Furthermore, state-of-the-art gym facilities will be provided onsite, as well as communal areas with pool or foosball tables, DStv, braai areas and a communal kitchen. Laundry facilities will also be available.
“Security is a big priority with cutting-edge biometric access, trailblazing CCTV surveillance systems, secure bicycle storage, basement parking areas and a hands-on dynamic management team,” says Howell.
“Inside our biometric-secured buildings, you’ll find our trendy, modern CampusKey design style, as we understand that it’s hard to feel motivated when you’re not energised by your surroundings. Our all-inclusive offering is designed with one goal in mind, which is to perfectly set each student up for success.”
Howell says CampusKey is growing in size, vision and in understanding. “We’re breaking ground for Africa as the first luxury student housing company and are setting the standard for secure student living in South Africa.”
“We’ve recently launched our #Community to enable our 3 200-plus students countrywide to connect with one another and at the same time, improve their CampusKey and student life experience, and we have so much more planned to grow CampusKey into the best place to live for students from all over South Africa and the world.”
According to Howell, for many students it is the first time they leave home, and their accommodation is one of the most important factors in their happiness and critical for academic success.
“Going to a new city to study provides many opportunities to learn new things, see new places and meet people from different backgrounds and cultures. We enable students to become the best version of themselves and offer everything they need to prepare for the future, and CampusKey is a place where young, eager and aspiring minds thrive.”
