Durban Point Waterfront
Located at the entrance to Durban Harbour, the busiest port in Africa, the Durban Point Waterfront is one of South Africa's most significant and exciting property development and investment projects. Destined to become one of Durban's most prestigious addresses, and a key tourist attraction, the Durban Point Waterfront is rapidly transforming from a previously run down precinct into a multi-billion Rand property showcase. Durban Point is one of Durban's most historic and significant urban quarters.
It has a superb location and enjoys access to a range of modes of movement including pedestrian, road, rail and sea, and therefore has local, national and international connections. Over the years, Durban Point has been subject to creeping blight that has left it largely abandoned and vacant. Paradoxically, it represents of the most under utilised assets within the city of Durban. Intentions to revitalize the area have been mooted for several decades and it is only now, that it is finally undergoing significant redevelopment. Much of the renewed impetus for this initiative has been the implementation of the uShaka Marine World project.
