Stratum Mixed Use · Thembisa, Ekurhuleni · Gauteng
A brighter Thembisa, built together.
The vision
Thembisa is one of the largest and most energetic townships in Gauteng. Thembisa Vertical City imagines the Thembisa Hostel area becoming a modern neighbourhood worthy of that energy.
The plan brings homes, business and services together, so residents can live, work, shop and belong in one connected place.
The development
01
Apartments for young professionals, families and students, with secure entrances, balconies and views across Ekurhuleni.
02
Grocers, coffee shops, fashion and local brands open onto wide, landscaped walkways. Local entrepreneurs trade next to larger retailers.
03
Buses, taxis and minibus taxis in one hub, with room planned for future rail. Getting to work across Gauteng becomes easier.
04
Spaces for events, youth programmes, sport and relaxation. Green plazas give the neighbourhood a place to gather.
05
Retail, maintenance, logistics and management roles inside the development, with priority given to Thembisa's young people.
06
Approved SAMBO members could share in apartment rent, the rent paid by trading businesses and the profits of those businesses.
