Mount Royal Golf & Country Estate
Historic Expansion
With the rapid growth around Cape Town and environs astute investors are realizing the value in surrounding towns and the improved quality of life country living has to offer. The increased demand is releasing an unprecedented expansion in Malmesbury. These carefully controlled development proposals under consideration are doubling the size of the town in this most exciting phase of development in the town's history.
Regional Shopping Mall
Although Malmesbury has a well developed commercial node, experts have identified the town as ready for a regional shopping centre of 35,000m2 floor area. The most suitable location identified is off the N7 interchange on the opposite side of the land crest from Mount Royal, within easy reach but out of view from the Estate itself.
The developers of Mount Royal have submitted an application for the Swartland Mall, as it is to be called.
Upgrade of the N7 Highway
The N7 highway to Malmesbury has seen a full upgrade recently, to be followed with a full double lane carriageway in the medium term.
Award-Winning Municipality
