In just three years, Steyn City has proved itself a game changer in South Africa's property industry.In a country where gated security estates are hardly a phenomenon, Steyn City's ability to distinguish itself on a number of fronts speaks volumes. Indeed, the lifestyle resort has proved that it is able to offer a lifestyle beyond compare, thanks not only to the variety and quality of facilities available, but also to the lifestyle that these facilities have helped to create. Most impressive of all is that all infrastructure has been available from the outset; from the moment the first would-be buyers viewed the developing lifestyle resort, they were able to experience Steyn City in its entirety, rather than waiting for the different components to come on board and hoping that they would live up to what had been promised. In the words of Steyn City Properties CEO Giuseppe Plumari, "We don't just say. We do." The lifestyle resort's success therefore comes as no surprise. One of its most noteworthy accomplishments to date has been its inclusion, at second place, in New World Wealth's 2017 ranking of lifestyle estates. Steyn City's excellence is evidenced by the fact that the top ten estates all have a coastal location; moreover, they have been established for at least a decade or more.Purchasers' enthusiasm is explained by the sense of community that defines this lifestyle resort, and that manifests in every aspect. "Visionary Douw Steyn, was guided by the dream of creating a space where people could live as they did before we entered the frenetic age of the internet and the dominance of the car in our lives," says Plumari. "He determined that Steyn City would be a place where families could live with complete peace of mind, spending time together in an environment that encourages activity and where cars no longer restrict our movement."
