South Africa is experiencing a high demand for good quality, modern retirement properties.

Retirement demands

Retirees nowadays are living 10 to 25 years longer than what their parents had. Many of the changes taking place within the retirement landscape in South Africa, has been influenced by the demands of the Baby Boomer market (those born between 1946 to 1964). Within the Retire KZN community 11% of those registered are looking towards Sibaya to settle down.

Proximity to care

Some of the top facilities retirees are looking for in retirement estates include onsite care centres and home-based care. The first retirement estate within Sibaya is a shining example of the way future retirement within this node will follow. Offering an onsite care centre within the estate, residents throughout Sibaya will also have access to medical and frail care facilities within the Precinct. Not only will Sibaya retirees have these facilities on their doorstep, they will also be within close proximity to Netcare Umhlanga Hospital and other medical and care facilities within the neighbouring Umhlanga Town.

Active ageing

Approximately 60% of the Sibaya node is made up of green spaces. With direct and easy access to the beach and forest walkways, as well as pedestrian walkways throughout the precinct, residents will be able to lead an active lifestyle within a secure environment.

Modern opportunities

Within the residential zoned development land, 3 nodes have been specifically zoned for retirement. These opportunities are being designed around modern retirees who look at state-of-the-art security, having clubhouses and facilities that encourage a strong sense of community engagement, pet-friendly living and storage.

Sibaya’s first retirement estate became one of KwaZulu-Natal’s fastest selling retirement opportunities to date. With future retirement planned for this precinct, we encourage you to register your interest to learn more about the retirement estates entering the precinct.
