... there is a spike in sales in the suburb for significant prices around the R350.00 per sqrm mark.
The development is the best thing for property prices in the suburb and for those that want to sell and leave the suburb ... etc ...
It also sends our property prices into the R5mil to R7mil per full size property ... etc ...
It is in our interest to embrace development, its progress in the suburb ... etc ...

The last time I checked, Linbro Park land was ALL privately owned title deed properties, save for 6 government owned properties, that have been allocated to public services to the suburb, in
accordance with the 2010 Development Framework that the ARP are so desperately trying to have adopted as Council policy for Linbro Park.
If there is one commodity that has increased in value in Linbro Park over the last 3 years of this recession, it is its land value.
Not because of the "many" sales that have taken place, but the combination of the of various factors that have occurred over this period of time!!!
Factors such as a) Intaprops continuous land purchasing strategy, b) Intaprops all visible breaking ground development on Clifford down to Gordon and the imminent UTI building complex that will
soon start construction, c) the recent acquisition of various properties close to the Gautrain, d) the conclusion of the Gautrain project, e) Heartlands new development plan to the North and East
of Linbro Park boundaries, f) new and improved entrance on Clullee at the Reservoir and g) the approval of the Linbro Park Spatial Development Framework, that will eventually give Linbro Park
some sort of development direction and certainty.
The longer ... it ... takes to acquire the land ..., the more out of reach will be the "market value" they can afford ...
The most important strategy of all for us residents, will be to remain proactive in finding effective ways to continue stimulating market conditions that will suit our property prices, to reap
the benefits in the long run.
... a monetary value needs to be determined ... it would require the same presentation of "market" related offers to be presented ..., as before in 2008.
The games will begin for Linbro Park's property owners, once those offers are made public!!!
Regards,
Joao

Development began at the southern point of Linbro Park: Clulee Road has been opened up to feed into the PWV3 (Peace Street) which connects the N3 to Modderfontein/Kempton Park via the London Road
November 2011: A view of Clulee Road north to south, where its access to the M40 will soon be open for through traffic. Streetlights ... a first in the history of Linbro.
