For this mega development, new exciting generation thinking in mixed-use property planning was used. Mixed use units for both Residential and Commercial property includes small scale convenience shopping facilities solely to provide for the requirements of residents living within the area. This concept not only benefits residents and shop owners; it also benefits the environment, sustainability, security and land use planning. The mixed use area will boast ample parking, professional landscaping with indigenous plants and a traditional boulevard that also caters for pedestrians.
