The Westown development, is set to attract over R15 billion in investment, has been described as the largest infrastructure investment project in Durban since the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It has already seen R1.3 billion in investment in the Shongweni area since construction began in September 2022, with several interconnected mixed-use precincts, spaces, and experiences, including approximately 20,000 residential units planned for construction over the next 10 to 15 years.
