Who Is Developing Westown? The development of Westown is led by Durban-based Fundamentum Property Group through the Fundamentum Development Company (FDC) which owns the development rights to Westown.
Fundamentum is supported by a locally driven team that understands the importance of the open space and outdoor pursuits that define this region.
Specialists in asset management, property development and retail leasing, Fundamentum has over 100 years of combined experience in property and has developed a diverse property portfolio across commercial, retail, and industrial sectors.
Fundamentum will be responsible for the planning and urban design, infrastructure delivery, management, and operations of Westown through the construction of its own buildings as well as in partnerships with developers interested in the rights for the 2 800 residential units around the shopping experience.
Fundamentum’s development approval includes 170 000m² of warehouse and commercial, business and office space as well a 100-bed hospital.
Grounded in urban sustainability, and the utilisation of open space and ecological assets, Westown focuses on innovation creating a legacy of multi-disciplinary planning, engineering, architecture and place-making that will unlock the region’s investment potential.
This is brought to bear thanks to a very strong team of professionals who have brought together to work on the Kassier Rd upgrade and the development of the Westown Square retail experience.
