The disappointment surrounding the residential development of Stadsig in Wellington has come to an end after many years of uncertainty. The further development of the estate has been taken over by Atvantage, a multi-faceted group of built environment professional services and development companies.
After the launch of Stadsig in 2012, the initial phases proceeded well until the liquidation of the building contractor in 2017. The stuttering attempt at business rescue that preceded the eventual liquidation, only served to further demoralise the residents of Stadsig and tarnish the reputation of the estate.
“We took transfer of the property in June 2018,” says Atvantage group director Paul Louw, “and have commenced with focused activities aimed at putting Stadsig firmly on the path to being the most sought after residential community in the greater Wellington winelands. We’re introducing improvements in urban and landscaping design, all with the objective of enhancing the village character of the estate and to create an environment of rest and relaxation for its residents.”
He added the construction of the electrified perimeter security wall and fencing, guarded by a security company will offer residents a secured estate. CEO Hessel Dijkstra said “infrastructure and services to future phases of the development will follow in due course.
“We will offer prospective owners a selection of newly designed homes from… esteemed Stellenbosch architects known for estates such as De Zalze, Welgevonden in Stellenbosch and Eden Island in the Seychelles.”
Stadsig is located on the outskirts of Wellington, just off the R301, in the direction of the Bain’s Kloof Pass. “The prime location offers the best of both worlds,” said Louw, “a tranquil setting amid rolling farmland, within easy reach of the town’s amenities. It’s also easily accessible to the rest of the Winelands and the Cape Town Metropole beyond.”
