Prior to the launch of any project a full market analysis is done and this based on a number of factors.
- These include but are not limited to:
- Price paid for the acquisition of the land (bulk square meter rate)
- General rates per square meter of the product on offer
- Historical trends of similar properties sold in the area in the last 12-18 months
- In consultation with the developer we consider the following:
- What product would work best in the respective area
- What zoning has been applied for and granted
- Aesthetic and architectural planning of what the market will accept
In consultation with the collective development team we are able to then create a product that the market is ready to accept, at the correct price points, benchmarked against similar products but offering better value.
