We are currently on Phase One. Join us for this great investment opportunity.
Phase 1: Investor Outreach & Concept Preparation (0–3 Months)
- Define & Refine the Vision: Finalize your concept—highlighting a pet- and animal-friendly community that welcomes horse owners, dog and cat lovers, and small stock enthusiasts. Develop a detailed business plan that outlines land use, projected costs, revenue models, and community benefits.
- Investor Pitch & Materials: Prepare a compelling pitch deck and marketing materials. Include renderings, a tentative master plan, and clear calls to action for different buyer groups. Leverage your narrative to attract private investors, angel groups, or even explore crowdfunding opportunities.
- Networking & Outreach: Reach out to potential investors through networking events, real estate forums, and social media platforms. Present at local investor meet-ups or property development seminars to generate early interest.
The goal here is to secure expressions of interest or initial commitments before moving into formal applications for rezoning and development.
Phase 2: Rezoning & Approval Process (3–12 Months)
- Engage the Experts: Hire a qualified town planner, environmental consultant, and legal advisor who specialize in land rezoning. They will assess the viability and strategize the necessary steps for changing the zoning—from its current designation to residential/mixed use as required for your project.
- Feasibility Study & Pre-Application Consultation: Conduct studies (including environmental impact assessments) and meet with the local municipality to understand regulations under frameworks like SPLUMA. Use these consultations to guide your rezoning application.
- Submission & Public Participation: Prepare the rezoning application, including all requisite documents. The process will involve public participation and may require responding to community feedback. Rezoning in South Africa often takes anywhere from 6 to 12 months, so patience and persistence will be essential.
Phase 3: Detailed Planning & Pre-Development (12–18 Months)
- Master Planning with Professionals: Once rezoning begins or is approved, bring in architects, surveyors, and civil engineers to design the subdivision layout, infrastructure (roads, utilities, common areas), and sustainable building features.
- Infrastructure Approvals: Submit applications for water, electricity, road access, and other bulk services necessary for development.
- Site Preparation: Begin clearing, defining boundaries, and setting up key access points. This phase sets the stage for phased developments and further investor engagement by showing tangible progress.
Phase 4: Marketing, Sales Launch & Development Implementation (18–36 Months)
- Property & Community Launch: With rezoning approved and infrastructure planning in place, officially launch the sales campaign. Promote the diverse lifestyle benefits—from family-friendly spaces to amenities for horse owners and pet lovers—to attract a broad range of buyers.
- Phased Development: Start with overall site improvements (road construction, communal areas, green spaces) and gradually allow early buyers to begin construction under approved architectural guidelines.
- Continue to engage additional investors or secure further funding for subsequent development phases as required.
- Ongoing Community Building: As properties are sold and development proceeds, implement community features (such as shared gardens, walking trails, pet facilities) that align with your original vision and enhance value for all stakeholders.
This timeline—spanning roughly 36 months—provides a framework to move from a powerful concept to a thriving coastal community. Each phase builds on the previous one to ensure both investors and future residents see progress, transparency, and a clear commitment to creating a unique lifestyle destination near Franskraal.
