Umhlanga Node
One of Durban’s responses to the current state of the economy is to focus on investment, construction, and infrastructure development. This is in keeping with the President and Minister of Finance’s infrastructure and investment focus in the recent 2021 State of the Nation and Budget Speech addresses.
One critical avenue is the facilitation of catalytic projects by the City’s Catalytic Projects Unit. Catalytic Projects are investments with a value of above R500 million and significant economic and socio-economic impacts for Durban’s economy. Fast-tracking their implementation is the biggest programme which the City, business, and other tiers of government can implement to generate revenue and create jobs.
The Umhlanga Ridge Office Parks are part of the catalytic projects that have reached completion, contributing meaningfully to economic activity for EThekwini Municipality.
