QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The questions behind the opportunity.
From land ownership and development flexibility to infrastructure, planning and investment structures, find clear answers to the questions investors and developers ask about Sungate.
Understand what has already been established, what can be adapted and how to take the next step.
FORESIGHT MEETS TIMING
Much of the groundwork has already been done.
Sungate has been years in the making. Township proclamation, surveying, planning, infrastructure design and the first phase of servicing were undertaken long before today's investment landscape took shape.
The result is an established 408-hectare township with a planning framework, development structure and infrastructure foundation already in place — while retaining the flexibility to respond to what investors need next.
UNDERSTANDING SUNGATE
Start with the fundamentals.
What Sungate is, who stands behind it and how the groundwork already completed shapes the opportunity available today.
WHAT IS SUNGATE?
Sungate is a 408-hectare, master-planned mixed-use development adjacent to Hosea Kutako International Airport. It combines strategically located land with an established township framework designed to accommodate business, light industrial, institutional, residential and other compatible development opportunities.
WHO OWNS AND DEVELOPS SUNGATE?
Sungate is owned and developed by Accolade Properties Namibia, a 100% Namibian-owned property development company established in 2007. Accolade Properties Namibia owns the land on which the Sungate development is being developed.
IS SUNGATE A FORMALLY PROCLAIMED TOWNSHIP?
Yes. Sungate was formally declared an approved township by the Government of the Republic of Namibia in 2012. Its establishment included formal surveying, township planning and an approved development framework.
WHY DOES SUNGATE REPRESENT AN OPPORTUNITY NOW?
Sungate has been planned and prepared over many years. Today, that groundwork coincides with growing investment in Namibia's aviation, logistics, infrastructure, tourism and emerging industries.
Investors are therefore considering an established township at a strategic location rather than starting with raw land and an untested development concept.
LAND & DEVELOPMENT
Built around different ambitions.
From an individual erf to a major development site, Sungate provides flexibility in both the scale of land that can be acquired and how appropriate development opportunities can be structured.
WHAT SIZE OF LAND CAN I ACQUIRE AT SUNGATE?
Opportunities range from individual erven and larger development parcels through to complete superblocks and substantial strategic landholdings. There is no predetermined maximum acquisition size — the appropriate landholding can be considered around the scale, location, infrastructure and development requirements of the proposed investment.
CAN I ACQUIRE AN ENTIRE SUPERBLOCK?
Yes. Sungate's land offering has deliberately been structured at different scales, including complete superblocks for investors requiring significant land for larger developments.
DO PURCHASERS OBTAIN FULL-TITLE OWNERSHIP?
Yes. A purchaser acquires the property and the land is transferred and registered into the purchaser's name. Ownership is therefore not based on a lease or occupational right.
IS SUNGATE ONLY INTENDED FOR LOGISTICS AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT?
No. Sungate is a mixed-use township. With the exception of road reserves and private open spaces, the township's mixed-use zoning provides for business, light industrial, institutional and residential uses.
HOW FLEXIBLE IS THE SUNGATE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK?
Sungate was deliberately planned to provide flexibility within a structured township framework. Although detailed precinct planning establishes sound development principles, appropriate land uses and configurations can evolve through the applicable planning and approval processes to respond to investor and market requirements.
CAN ERVEN BE CONSOLIDATED OR SUBDIVIDED?
Yes. Erven can be consolidated to create larger development sites or subdivided where appropriate, subject to the normal town-planning, surveying, registration and statutory approval processes applicable within a proclaimed township.
INFRASTRUCTURE & MANAGEMENT
Planned to work. Designed to grow
Sungate combines established infrastructure with a phased approach to future development, supported by a management structure already in place for the ongoing operation and upkeep of the township.
ARE SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE ALREADY IN PLACE?
Yes. Approximately 11.7 hectares within Phase 1AB have been fully serviced, with internal roads, water, sewer and electricity infrastructure installed to the individual erven.
For Phase 1C, where individual erven and development parcels are available, bulk water and electricity capacity has been secured, allowing services to be extended as development takes place.
CAN SUNGATE ACCOMMODATE LARGER FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS?
Yes. Sungate's infrastructure was planned around a phased development model. The engineering framework allows services to be progressively extended as new development areas are brought forward.
For larger parcels, superblocks or developments with specific infrastructure requirements, servicing can therefore form part of the development planning process.
HOW IS SUNGATE MANAGED?
Sungate is managed through the Sungate Owners Association, an established registered entity responsible for the ongoing management and upkeep of the township.
Property owners automatically become members of the Association when land is transferred to them, providing an established structure for the management of shared infrastructure and services.
ARE LEVIES PAYABLE BY PROPERTY OWNERS?
Yes. Property owners pay levies determined by the Sungate Owners Association from time to time. These contribute towards the management, maintenance and ongoing operation of the township and its shared infrastructure and services.
INVESTING AT SUNGATE
An opportunity that can scale with the vision.
Sungate can accommodate investment at very different scales. Accolade Properties Namibia is open to serious discussions with purchasers, developers and strategic investors about opportunities that make sense for both the investor and the long-term development of Sungate.
HOW IS LAND AT SUNGATE PRICED?
Pricing is determined according to the particular opportunity, taking into account factors including the size and location of the property, its development requirements and the infrastructure required to service it.
For this reason, Sungate does not publish a single standard land price. Prospective purchasers and investors are invited to contact Accolade Properties Namibia to discuss current availability, their requirements and the applicable commercial terms.
CAN SUNGATE ACCOMMODATE A MAJOR STRATEGIC OR INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENT?
Yes. Accolade Properties Namibia is open to discussions with serious strategic and institutional investors whose requirements extend beyond the acquisition of an individual property.
Opportunities can include substantial landholdings and, where appropriate, proposals involving a significant portion of the remaining Sungate development.
IS ACCOLADE PROPERTIES NAMIBIA OPEN TO INVESTMENT OR DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIPS?
Yes. While land can be acquired outright, Accolade Properties Namibia is also open to discussing appropriate investment and development structures with serious investors and strategic partners.
Depending on the opportunity, this may include development partnerships, investment participation, shareholding or other commercial structures aligned with the long-term development of Sungate.
CAN I ARRANGE A SITE VISIT?
Absolutely. Prospective purchasers, developers and investors are welcome to arrange a site visit.
A visit provides the opportunity to experience Sungate's location in relation to Hosea Kutako International Airport, understand the scale of the development, view existing development activity and discuss available land and potential opportunities on site.
