According to the Gauteng government’s Integrated Transport Master Plan of 2013, the city of Ekurhuleni has an extensive road network that gives it the greatest length of highway when compared with neighbouring regions.

At a tourism conference earlier this month, Ekurhuleni Finance and Economic Development MMC Doctor Xhakaza announced that Ekurhuleni is set to become a focus area for tourism opportunities in Gauteng.

In what turned out to be a busy month for Riverfields, this mega development project was prominently showcased at the Aerotropolis Industrial Cluster Development and Investment Conference hosted by the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality on 17 and 18 November 2015 at Emperors Palace, Kempton Park.

There are a lot of impressive numbers behind the Riverfields development.

Did you know that the most expensive apartment in Johannesburg, located in Sandton, is valued at R60-million? While most of us can’t even think about ever having (let alone spending) this amount of money, there are many good value-for-money areas to invest in.

While Riverfields is conveniently located along both sides of the Albertina Sisulu freeway, this does mean that motorists passing from one side of the development to the other – until now – had to use the overpass along the R23. This was an inconvenience – particularly for businesses located at the Plumbago Business Park and the Plumbago Logistics Park, as the freeway bisects the two parks.

Riverfields is all about leaving a lasting legacy across the three pillars of sustainability – people, planet and profits. It is a planned community that employs good urban design and a “new urbanism” philosophy to bring the community into the 21st century.

The Gleneagle Office Park space is now almost fully utilised by tenants. The office space is at the centre of a bustling metropolis, with close proximity to the OR Tambo International Airport, the Gautrain and the R21 and R23 highways.

The Forever Young Medi Spa is one of the most luxurious establishments at the Gleneagle Office Park.
