Sustainability is at the core of the design of Mason. As an EDGE certified estate, Mason is the first green-rated development to enter Amanzimtoti and forms part of a global movement that creates sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyles for all.
The United Nations established a range of 17 sustainability development goals that would ensure inclusiveness, create a conscious society and holistically establish a better, greener and cleaner environment across the world by 2030. Some of these goals include clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, industry, innovation and infrastructure, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, as well as climate action.
The United States Energy Information Administration projects a 28% increase in world energy consumption by 2040. Estates like Mason reduce the impact and create sustainable lifestyles for individuals. As an EDGE certified estate, and notably the first green-rated estate to enter the Amanzimtoti area, Mason has strategically used design techniques, technologies and materials that are resource efficient.
Mason is home to 2-bedroom apartments from R869 000 and each offering has been designed to serve a bigger picture that helps drastically reduce carbon emissions and promote renewable energy onsite. Some of the features include, but are not limited to, the use of smart meters, solar powered geysers and energy saving light fittings and sensors.
Currently under construction, Mason is set to pioneer a greener lifestyle in Arbour Town and create a secure, modern lifestyle for families and professionals. Register your interest and learn more about the available units in Phase 1.

According to Cape Water Solutions, the average family of 4 can use up to 250 litres of water a day. Aside from changing our habits to save water and curb waste, it is imperative that our homes are also designed to reduce our consumption of water. Mason is Amanzimtoti’s first green-rated, EDGE certified estate and is a prime example of the steps to take when designing a home that will save at least 20% in water consumption.
The water crisis in South Africa
There are drought-stricken areas in South Africa; Cape Town was not so far from D-day where the dam water levels had hit an all-time low of 15 to 30% capacity. South Africa is referred to as a water-stressed country, where it receives an annual rainfall of 492 millimetres.
Saving water at Mason
Being an EDGE certified estate, Mason has installed fixtures and finishes that would lower the use of water. The design of each apartment incorporates a low-flow showerhead and faucets for the kitchen sink, as well as the wash basin. There are also dual and single flush systems installed for water closets.
Habits to follow
To really reduce your water bill at the end of each month, you also need to curb some bad habits. Just small gestures like spending less time in the shower, running half the amount of your normal bath water, being conscious of closing the tap while brushing your teeth; these are not huge habits to break but they have a big impact.
Mason has been designed to create a greener lifestyle for families and on-the-go individuals. Register your interest to secure one of the pet-friendly 2-bedroom 1-bathroom apartments from R760 000 and 2-bedroom 2-bathroom units from R890 000.

Mason is an off-plan development and as a result has many investment benefits. Not only will you have the added advantage of being centrally located and living within one of the first green-rated estates within Amanzimtoti, you will experience quick capital appreciation as an off-plan development.
Investing in Mason, while it is still in an off-plan development stage; you will be buying directly from the developer. By doing so, you will only need to pay a R10 000 deposit now to secure your apartment and you will avoid paying any transfer fees and attorney fees. For those of you who are securing a bond, you will only need to pay it once the transfer of the apartment has taken place. When occupation takes place, you will be taking ownership of a newly built apartment, with new finishes and fixtures; making Mason a low maintenance investment whether you choose to rent it out or make it your residential home.
Between October 2018 to September 2019, around 70% of all the property purchases with the Amanzimtoti area were within sectional title opportunities.
