Trendy new Stellenbosch development from R979k offers investors hefty tax break

26 Jan 2021

Cape-based Flyt Property Investment has announced the official launch of Quivertree, a trendy new property offering in the university town of Stellenbosch, featuring 102 self-catering, fully-furnished apartments for long- and short-term rentals or for purchase, geared not only for the student market also but for young professionals, transient workers and business travellers.

 

Shoe-box living and hostel-like halls of residence are a thing of the past, with recent property trends paving the way for next-level accommodation that encompasses clever use of space, furnished offerings, shared work and living areas, on-site amenities, hospitality services and security.

“We wanted to create self-catering pods with all the extra bells and whistles for students, businessmen, golfers and everyone in between,” says Zane de Decker, MD of Flyt Property Investment.

Quivertree is a 3-storey, mixed-use development that is a blend of student accommodation and short-term stays, bolstered by a strong corporate market comprising 102 studio/one- and two-bedroomed, fully-furnished apartments, some with balconies.

On-site services include a laundry, housekeeping, 24-hour security, a reception desk, underground parking and communal entertainment areas. WINK Café, launching next year will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, providing a cool space to catch up with friends, do some work or make a few calls - all made easier with complimentary, uninterrupted Wi-Fi.

Quivertree’s location is super-convenient with Stellenbosch city centre just a 5-minute drive away and is in close proximity to the University’s campuses. Cape Town International Airport and both national roads are all within a 20-minute radius - added to which the town is abuzz with shops, restaurants, cafes, boutiques, galleries and museums, and, of course, its wine routes.  

De Decker adds that with price points starting at R979 000, Quivertree definitely makes for affordable living in Stellenbosch. All 102 apartments are up for sale through the group’s Section 12J Hospitality Select Fund, making this an even more attractive investment, what with the associated tax breaks and benefits.

Investors are able to deduct 100% of their investments as part of Section 12J of the Income Tax Act. SARS introduced the incentive to stimulate investment into businesses which create jobs and grow the economy. Quivertree Co-Living qualifies for this incentive as it is a fully-managed solution, including furnished units, on-site meal options and a range of other services and facilities.
 
"This means that SARS will finance up to 45% of the investment (depending on the investor’s marginal tax rate) an any entities are eligible, including individuals, trusts and companies. Investments are made via a Section 12J entity, which means investors become shareholders rather than owning a unit outright. A minimum R1 million investment is however required.   

Furthermore, a rental pool, managed on-site, will give investors a hassle-free, hands-off investment.
