The project was started in 2010 as a pilot project under the Breaking New Ground (BNG) policy to showcase various housing typologies, which included semi-detached units and walk-ups. The project was located in close proximity to central businesses and social amenities. Most of the beneficiaries who qualified for a full housing subsidy earned less than R3 500 per month. The sizes of the units ranged from 40 m2 to 48 m with allowances made for stairs. In total there were 344 units whose beneficiaries would be issued with title deeds. The project was due for completion in 2011.
