This is a much talked about development in the northern suburbs, just past Dainfern.  It is certainly to my mind going to spell severe pressure for the Dainfern housing market, with many people no doubt going to sell and take the opportunity of building a new, fresh house in Steyn City whereas most of the housing stock in Dainfern appears to be about 20 years old.  The registered website for Steyn City is www.steyncity.co.za.  It will no doubt make huge news when it is launched, and initial indications were summer 2014, which one would guess would mean September or October later this year as it is an enormous development. The scale of what they hope to achieve in terms of offices, shops as well as residential living areas makes it a massive undertaking and the infrastructure certainly looks very serious.  

The bridges going over the rivers dwarf those at Dainfern, the golf course appears to have been finalised more than a year ago but it is still not open and Douw Steyn’s palace, for want of a better word, was finished some time ago at a reported cost of R250 million.  Hopefully, before it opens upgrades to Cedar Road will be finalised and of course on the William Nicol side they have increased the road width but there is no doubt that whatever traffic problems exist now will be far more severe in 5 to 10 years’ time when the estate is more built up.
