Oasis Life Breaks Ground in Sunningdale – A New Retirement Village in Cape Town
We’re excited to share that construction has commenced at Oasis Life Sunningdale, the latest addition to Oasis Life’s premium portfolio of retirement lifestyle villages in the Western Cape, developed by Rabie Property Developers.
Situated in the heart of Sunningdale, Cape Town, this new retirement estate will now rapidly take shape — and the energy on-site is palpable. “There’s a real energy and momentum on our building site,” says Chad Pearce, Rabie Project Manager for this development. “Our teams are deeply committed to delivering the excellence people associate with the Oasis Life brand.”
The foundations for the first homes are done, with the brickwork going up. The next step will be installing the initial plumbing and electrical systems. Internal finishes are 90% complete, with snagging already done by the Project Manager, architect, and contractor. The interior designer fit-out is underway, and irrigation installations are also nearing completion.
With 80% of Phase 1.1 now sold, just six units remain in this initial release. The estimated occupation dates for this initial release of homes will be phased from mid-September to the close of 2025.
The clubhouse platform is now complete, with construction due to begin shortly. Meanwhile, the gatehouse is progressing well and is expected to be finished by the end of June. The guardhouse is a key feature for both security and creating a welcoming atmosphere. This, along with a beautifully appointed show unit will be unveiled first, offering buyers a first-hand look at the quality, design, and lifestyle that define the Oasis Life experience.
