KwaZulu-Natal is entering a new era of progress, and it's visible from the ground up. From major road and bridge upgrades to large-scale private developments, the province is signalling confidence and long-term growth. The knock-on effect? A property market that's gaining serious momentum.
Roads and Bridges: Building Better Access
Across the province, key infrastructure projects are picking up pace. National roads and bridge upgrades are well underway, promising smoother connectivity and better access between economic hubs. These aren't small tweaks. They're part of a broader strategy to strengthen logistics, support communities, and improve investor confidence.

Moses Mabhida: Iconic, Expanding and Evolving
The R240 million upgrade to Moses Mabhida Stadium is well underway, with Durban investing in both critical infrastructure and bold new attractions. A 60% larger viewing platform with a cantilevered glass floor will offer visitors panoramic views and a dramatic "air walk" experience.
The SkyCar is being redesigned for better accessibility, and thrill-seekers can look forward to a new zip line landing in People's Park, as well as a sea-facing bungee jump from the arch. Repairs to the roof membrane, drainage systems, and steel framework have already been completed, while structural enhancements continue under close oversight. Now in its 15th year, the stadium is being reimagined to meet global standards, accommodate major events, and remain a centrepiece of Durban's tourism, sport, and adventure offering.

The development is expected to boost job creation, draw international visitors, and raise the profile of surrounding property markets.
All Eyes on KZN
From north to south, inland to coast, KZN is on the move. Infrastructure is being upgraded. Developers are investing. Landmarks are evolving. And the property market is responding, with increased buyer interest, stronger demand, and renewed confidence across sectors.
If you've been waiting for a signal to invest, build or buy, this is it. It's all happening in KZN.
