A maintenance-free lifestyle rooted in convenience, with the freedom of movement and space usually associated with freehold homes is what The City Centre at Steyn City has to offer.
Steyn City Properties CEO Giuseppe Plumari notes that the decision to release a selection of one, two, three, and four-bedroomed single and double-storey homes for the rental market makes it possible for people to get a taste of the Steyn City lifestyle, without buying upfront into the development.
“We are confident that once people experience urban living at the City Centre, they will decide that this is, indeed, a wonderful way to live.”.
Plumari says this is not only because of the unique design of the City Centre and its luxury residences but also because of the outstanding array of facilities that can be enjoyed without maintenance.
“The rental apartments also hold appeal for business people travelling to South Africa on business or commuting between two local cities,” he says.
“One of SA’s top lifestyle estates”
Plumari’s confidence in this flagship development is well-founded as borne out by Steyn City’s inclusion in the recently released ranking of South Africa’s 10 top lifestyle estates by wealth intelligence firm New World Wealth. The report singled out Steyn City for its design, saying it is “probably the best designed estate in South Africa”, commenting also on its birdlife, mix of accommodation, and facilities.
The result is Steyn City’s unrivalled lifestyle, a way of life rooted in neighbourliness, community, and building a connection with nature which is made possible through the magnificent 2000-acre indigenous parkland that is its backdrop.
The attributes which earned Steyn City this accolade are very much in evidence at the City Centre, which distinguishes itself through a twin accent on convenience and luxury.
The luxury aspect is evident in the design of generously proportioned homes that are as comfortable for growing families as for empty-nesters.
While features like high ceilings, wide passages, and rooms large enough to accommodate a king-size bed are standard, as are air-conditioning and double-glazed windows, integrated blu-line kitchens with beautiful Gaggenau appliances, and Kohler sanitaryware, some of the larger homes feature highlights like private studies, separate TV lounges, entertainers’ patios, and even private lifts.
Step out the home, and the magic continues: to achieve its signature communal ambience, the City Centre has been built as a series of villages clustered around densely treed piazzas, which will one day be lined with a bustle of coffee shops, retail, and restaurants.
Convenient living and outdoor leisure activities
The City Centre makes it easy to enjoy your favourite workout, whether that’s a run along the 45km floodlit promenade, a cycle on the 50km MTB track, or time out on the greens at the Nicklaus design championship course. Other facilities include an indoor aquatic centre, equestrian centre, tennis courts, gym, outdoor workout stations, and resort pools.
There’s also a choice of eateries and several children’s play nodes to keep children entertained – not forgetting the magnificent 300m lagoon which is a stone’s throw away from the City Centre, offering water activities along with a beach-style kiosk selling snacks and drinks.
To cut down on the commute, and introduce more hours into the day, Steyn City has added its own office development, Capital Park, as well as the Steyn City Schools campus and a helistop for residents who wish to schedule a flight to their next weekend getaway without sitting in the traffic.
Safety and Security
City Centre residents enjoy access to all of these facilities, along with the beautiful 2 000 parkland which gives the development its unique ambience – and which may just be South Africa’s biggest back garden. There’s also outstanding security, with the excellent measures already provided by Steyn City (including 24-hour foot patrols, biometric access and a security nerve centre) augmented by triple biometric access and a fully manned desk.
“The 2 000-car super basement stands out”
What really makes the City Centre different is the attention that’s been given to practical details. The 2 000-car super basement stands out here: not only does it house all services, so that the walkways (which are already free of stairwells) are kept clutter-free, but they are also light and bright, thanks to the inclusion of architectural cutouts and the continuation of plantings which is a signature of the parkland.
The addition of special design motifs such as timber, stone-cladding, and steel make it easy for residents to navigate a space which is traditionally overlooked by developers.
Ownership prices in the City Centre range from R2,6 million to R35 million, while rentals start at R15 000 per month with a minimum 12 months lease and two months deposit required.
