ADVERTORIAL
Investing in property in the sought-after northern suburbs of Johannesburg is a good decision. But buying a home in this area’s Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate, which launched its new phase on May 20, is an even smarter move.
Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate, situated in the north of Johannesburg, makes a life of comfort, 24-hour security and urban proximity a reality for middle-income earners. Here you can buy a home with all the luxury bells and whistles at a fraction of the expected price. With load-shedding being an everyday occurrence now, the new houses at Lion Pride include a gas stove, battery backup electricity and a solar geyser. The estate further offers a private school opening at the beginning of 2025, a shopping centre also opening in early 2025, playparks and beautifully landscaped gardens.

HIGH-END QUALITY
Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate offers six different floor plan sizes to choose from ranging from R1.62m for 89m² up to R2.3m for 189m². The full-title, freestanding homes are kitted out in modern, high-end fixtures and fittings and all have private gardens. That’s right – all high-end features and amenities in an estate where a four-bedroom, 2½-bathroom, double-storey house including the stand sells from R12,170 per square metre – less than a two-bedroom apartment in the surrounding areas. Whether you are a prospective homeowner or investor, this makes for an excellent investment opportunity. See the hard facts in our numbers below.

EARLY BIRD
The best time to invest in a new development is during the launch of its first phase – not only are the houses the most competitively priced then, but as each consecutive phase brings price increases, it also brings built-in capital growth. So, the earlier you buy, the more your investment will be worth. With only a quarter of Lion Pride completed, investors who buy now during the launch of this new phase can still realise significant growth over the next few years as further phases are launched.
URBAN OASIS
By investing in Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate, residents get to experience Mother Nature in a special way. Slightly elevated from its surroundings, the estate offers residents beautiful 360˚degree views across the iconic Joburg skyline and Midrand while the Magaliesberg mountains shimmer in the distance.
In the heart of the development is 17ha of protected grassland, which will soon be surrounded by walking trails offering residents even more peaceful and safe outdoor activities to enjoy. Only 10 minutes from Lanseria and Fourways, Lion Pride is a country-style reprieve while being close enough to major urban conveniences as well.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Another outstanding feature is Lion Pride’s full-title property offering. Usually, estates are sectional titles, which means the owner only has free rein over the inside of the house while the external walls and garden are common property maintained by a body corporate. However, full-title ownership gives homeowners full ownership of their entire property.
This means they can extend and renovate their homes as needed, making the most of their investment. As they buy directly from the developer additional costs like transfer duties and fees applicable to properties over R1m are also not payable. This means a saving of up to R160,000 in costs. Buyers also get 12 month guarantees on their roof, plumbing and electrical installations as well as a five year NHBRC warranty.
TRUST IS EARNED
Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate is a collaboration between Cosmopolitan Projects and Central Developments who combined their skills in developing and managing security estates and delivering large-scale developments with quality homes and lifestyle amenities priced for the average South African. As a group, they’ve delivered more than 70,000 residential units over the past 30 years.
Each of the eight individual villages in the greater Lion Pride Estate will be managed by its own Homeowners’ Association (HOA), with an overarching HOA responsible for maintaining the shared communal facilities, security, and public infrastructure. This will guarantee that the highest standards will be maintained. To ensure continuity, Cosmopolitan Projects and Central Developments Group will manage this HOA for five years after the final property in the development has been transferred.
