Munyaka development
Munyaka, which means 'crystal' in Venda was first announced in 2020, and is Balwin’s third development in Waterfall City. The first phase of the development comprising just over 1,000 apartments was completed in early 2023.
When complete in 2033, the R10 billion development will comprise of over 5,000 lifestyle apartments.
Munyaka will play host to one of the biggest crystal-clear lagoons in the southern hemisphere at a size of approximately 30,000m2, bringing Hollywood style beach living to Johannesburg.
The development will offer residents amenities such as gym facilities, on-site concierge, cinema room, restaurants, meeting rooms, a swimming pool, a laundromat, wellness spa and water activities such as paddle boarding and canoeing.
The bulk of the apartments in the development that are not located around the lagoon are priced from R949,900 for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment to R2,199.900 for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom garden apartment.
Steve Brookes, CEO of Balwin Properties said: “No detail has been spared in the construction of these two penthouses which are the epitome of luxury and innovation.”
“The unique setting in Waterfall, overlooking the largest crystal lagoon in the southern hemisphere, has attracted strong interest from discerning international buyers from the United Arab Emirates and West Africa looking for a one-of-a-kind lifestyle apartment.”
The development will create more than 4,200 job opportunities, according to Brookes.
