Property company Combined Developers has launched Arnim, a development of loft-style luxury apartments in vibrant Brackenfell, one of Cape Town’s fastest-growing suburban communities
Says Leon Büter of boutique property agency Synergy in Developments: “We thought outside the box with this development. First-time buyers and investors are always looking to invest in apartments that offer more than the norm. Arnim’s designer loft-style luxury apartments combine Cape Town’s opportunities with the winelands’ leisure appeal. It will become a destination of choice for investors and young families attracted by the safe and convenient lifestyle.” The developers wanted to offer a highly competitive product. “Buyers will get exceptional value for money while investors can rest assured that potential tenants will enjoy the fully fitted kitchen and modern bathroom. Furthermore, phase one, which will be completed in late 2023, is now on sale and, for a limited time, we offer savings of up to R45,000 per apartment.”
Situated in Cape Town’s northern suburbs, Brackenfell has seen unprecedented growth over the past few years as well as an impressive rise in property prices. Not only does it offer a list of excellent schools including a Curro pre-primary and intermediate school, as well as Bastion High School, it also offers a convenient array of shopping centres and well-maintained roads and green parks.
Marcel Hoogebeen, also of Synergy in Developments, says Brackenfell has seen an increase in first-time home buyers over the past three years, which is usually a sign it is growing in popularity. “These are the people who initiate improvements and upgrades. When they move in, so do technology, modern shopping centres and improved public transport.” The area has just under 28,000 freehold homes, sectional title homes and sectional title homes in estates. Says Hoogebeen: “Some 68% of buyers are in the high to middle income groups, with recent buyers between the ages of 18 and 35 making up 35% and those between 36 and 49 making up 42%.”
He says the prices of this loft-style luxury apartments range from R899,000 to R1.25m; townhouses from R1.45m to R1.65m; and freestanding homes from R2m to R3m. “Brackenfell has an average growth of 5% to 6% per annum. With Covid-19 hopefully behind us, growth will increase to 8% as demand increases. We would’ve expected growth closer to 10%, but the increase in interest rates has had a negative effect. The value of transfers in the past year amounts to just under R85m.” Once completed, Arnim will offer 225 two-bedroom units and 31 one-bedroom units. Kitchens are fitted with an oven, hob and extractor fan. Each apartment also comes with Defy appliances including a washer/dryer combo machine, dishwasher, fridge and microwave. The modern bathrooms feature a freestanding bath. Prices range from R1.15m to R1.205m, including all appliances and high-quality finishes. One-bedroom units will become available later.
“The huge arched window with sliding door allows abundant natural light into the kitchen and open plan living area. The kitchen offers outstanding finishes with ample cupboards and designer light fittings throughout add to the luxurious appeal,” says Hoogebeen. The development will offer 24-hour security, fibre connectivity, landscaped gardens and a community clubhouse with braai areas and swimming pool. It will also be pet friendly.
Crime in SA has forced people to think about safety and security when investing in a home. Says Büter: “Arnim will have manned security and electrified fencing as a first line of defence. We want families to feel safe and children to be able to play outside and enjoy the park areas. It’s ideal for first-time buyers, including single moms, who can buy an affordable home without having to compromise on quality or secure living. You won’t find a better equipped apartment with luxurious interiors in this price range in the area.”
