Rivergate, Milnerton

Rivergate at a glance

The Rivergate industrial precinct is an upcoming upmarket business zone. The area's developments offer commercial, industrial, institutional, residential, as well as related land facilities.

Having been completed in October 2013, Sandown Road provides the vital link between the R27 (the West Coast Road) and the N7 (National Rd) - an excellent form of road access to the Cape Town-based area.

The vast development of multi-storey buildings can accommodate both office and retail uses. The buildings are perfect for shops, supermarkets, financial institutions, showrooms, or even cafés and restaurants.

Residential developments in the area have also been popping up which has given way for two Caltex filling stations. Parents who work at Rivergate have the option and convenience to enrol their children aged 3 months to 5 years at Curro Castle Sandown (550m).

To ensure that the area is well taken care of, Design Guidelines and Development Controls have been established. These guidelines are in place to ensure that the Rivergate precinct gives rise to a harmonious and functional urban environment. Managing Agents are tasked to maintain the standards implemented for this development.
