Estate Launches third phase in fun Hawaiian style

- Desiré Fourie

MBOMBELA - The Rest Nature Estate launched its third phase on Thursday, February 6 at their sales centre.

The event, organised by Two Red Pens, featured a Hawaiian theme complete with floral motifs, tiki decoration­s and hula competitio­ns. Each guest was welcomed with a Hawaiian punch, and dinner, drinks and dessert were part of the evening.

Harshil Mitha, owner of Two Red Pens, opened the evening by welcoming all the guests. Ian Todd, a developer at Second Lifestyle, followed and gave some background on phase three. He mentioned that in the developmen­t phase, drone photos were taken of the area to create a mosaic that would give developers an idea not only of the best layout, but also how to maximise environmen­tal utilisatio­n.

“With the detailed pictures that we have, we were able to identify rocks and trees to have those protected. Contours indicated on the site data enable owners who buy land the opportunit­y to protect trees and incorporat­e them into architectu­re.”

Todd promised future homeowners that, together with Arca, the appointed review architects involved with many projects at the Rest Nature Estate, the developmen­ts on the third phase will offer something unique in location and orientatio­n.

Alec Bates, another developer at Second Lifestyle, went on to mention that nearly 600 plots on The Rest have been sold in the last three to four years. With the new phase, they will be launching 200 more.

Leon Bouwer, financial manager at SANLAM, cut the official red ribbon to mark the opening of the new phase.

The evening was well attended by current owners and stakeholde­rs. Dinner and dessert were prepared by Picasso’s Mexican Taqueria food truck. Overall, the evening was festive and very well organised.
