Building communities
Mixed-use communities
The Amdec Group’s mixed-use precincts are home to a cosmopolitan mix of communities – apartment residents, hotel guests, office workers, large corporates, tourists, shoppers, restaurant patrons, fitness enthusiasts, visitors and socialites - all of whom benefit from the convenience, connectedness, safety, security, technological advantages and energy efficiency of these quintessential smart cities.
Inclusionary housing communities
The Amdec Group’s inclusionary housing precincts provide safe, secure, affordable housing for previously disadvantaged communities across South Africa. They are developed using the same principles and expertise that have been applied to the Group’s award-winning mixed-use precincts, lifestyle estates, and retirement villages, and typically include residential homes, convenience retail, on site recreational and educational facilities, safe public parks, well located public transport and neighbourhood sports facilities.
Retirement communities
Evergreen Lifestyle retirement villages are home to vibrant fun-loving communities who enjoy world-class services, hospitality, resort style facilities and amenities, high-quality healthcare, and a safe and secure lifestyle second to none. Village life revolves around our multi-purpose Lifestyle Centres which typically include a restaurant, bistro, TV lounge, gym, indoor heated pool, library and games room, which all provide an ideal backdrop for the many clubs and special interest groups that form and meet regularly.
Lifestyle estate communities
The Amdec Group’s secure lifestyle estates are designed to meet the needs of today’s discerning buyer. Ideal for families young and old, they offer a range of apartments, townhouses, luxury villas, freestanding homes, gentlemen’s estates, on site hotels and integrated retirement villages. Residents also enjoy access to a wide array of premium lifestyle facilities within the estates, including award-winning golf courses, equestrian centres & stables, vineyards & olive groves, lakes, parks, running & cycling tracks, restaurants, health, fitness & aquatic centres, schools and more.
Raising the bar
Hospitality
While the Amdec Group develops real estate, it is our passion for people that truly sets us apart. Our buildings and public spaces are designed to bring people from diverse walks of life together and provide them with opportunities for social interaction, community engagement, enjoyment, fulfillment, and financial reward. This is why we adopt a customer-centric approach when conceptualizing, designing, constructing, maintaining, and continuously managing our built environments. We remain invested in our properties long after the real estate is completed and occupied.
Exceptional locations
Our developments are always located in carefully selected areas on the basis of accessibility, desirability, visibility and functionality. Our iconic developments have stimulated the growth of new suburbs, reshaped city skylines, transformed disused buildings, uplifted urban spaces, and redefined the way people interact with property.
Balanced by nature
Our developments seek to mitigate the challenges of modern life by bringing people, lifestyle, nature, and the built environment into balance. Public and private areas are clearly distinguished, buildings are positioned to harness natural light, and our extensive use of indigenous landscaping, public squares and piazzas, boardwalks and water features create inviting spaces that nourish the soul.
Walkability
Our pedestrianized mixed-use precincts, inclusionary housing estates, lifestyle estates and retirement villages ensure that the needs of our residents, tenants and visitors are all met within easy walking distance. This positively impacts both the community and the environment, improving quality of life and delivering significant health, financial, and lifestyle benefits, whilst reducing our carbon footprint.
Safety & security
The Amdec Group spares no expense in its efforts to secure the lives, homes, possessions, and wellbeing of its residents and tenants. The continuous professional management of buildings and precincts includes access control, state-of-the-art technology delivered via centralized control rooms manned 24/7, CCTV, facial- and number-plate recognition, mobile and on-foot security patrols, panic alarms, rapid response, emergency services and more.
Smart technology
Our precincts harness smart technology to deliver exceptional security, enhanced connectivity, environmental sustainability, and cost efficiency. State-of-the-art fibre-optic networks allow for sophisticated building and precinct management systems that control security, fire alarms and sprinkler systems, air-conditioning, water reticulation, lighting, irrigation, backup power and more. Ensuring our built environments are sustainable and energy efficient, all designed and intended to reduce our carbon footprint.
Eco-efficiency
As a founding member of the Green Building Council of South Africa, the Amdec Group has pioneered many sustainable development initiatives including the introduction of centralized district cooling plants and fully integrated building management systems that deliver significant savings to landlord and tenant alike. Some of the eco-friendly measures employed by the Amdec Group include the harnessing of sun light for solar power generation, rain water harvesting and storage, water recycling, back-up generator power, waste management and more.
Exceptional financial returns
Above all, we recognize our obligation to ensuring the commercial profitability of our developments and the financial well-being of our stakeholders, whether home owners, property investors, commercial and retail tenants, life right holders, business partners, or local authorities. By investing in thriving metropoles with excellent infrastructure, we are able to create tens of thousands of jobs and contribute significantly to the country’s GDP, whilst also generating rewarding financial returns and capital growth for our investors.
